Wernher von Braun - Rocket scientist
“I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science.”
German-born Wernher von Braun was a rocket physicist and astronautics engineer. He became one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology in Germany and the United States. Wernher von Braun is said to be the preeminent rocket engineer of the 20th century.
Von Braun was the chief architect of the Saturn V superbooster launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. He is regarded as the father of the United States space program, both for his technical and organizational skills, and for his public relations efforts on behalf of space flight. (source: Wikipedia).

Good religion will never be anti-science; good science will never deny the possibility of a divine hand behind the universe. This is the road that I seek to walk; to embrace good religion as found in the words and works of Jesus Christ, and good science, i.e., science that is open to the evidence and ready to follow where it leads. Revelation infuses my worldview, while the findings of legitimate science temper my exegesis of that revelation.
