Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet KH, MRS (1792-1871) was the son of Sir William Herschel and, like his father, was both an outstanding astronomer and devout Christian. He discovered over 500 new nebulae and performed the prodigious task of cataloging the stars and nebulae of both northern and southern hemispheres. Concerning the Bible, he said:

Charles Babbage (1792-1871) was a fascinating scientist, in many respects far ahead of his time.

Benjamin Silliman (1779 -1864) was one Yale faculty member profoundly influenced by President Dwight. He wrote:

Georges Chrétien Léopold Dagobert Cuvier (1769-1832) was one of the greatest anatomists and paleontologists; in fact, he is considered to be the founder of the science of comparative anatomy and one of the chief architects of paleontology as a separate scientific discipline. He was the chief advocate of the theory of multiple catastrophism, believing the Flood to be the last in a series of global castastrophes in earth history. He was a firm creationist, even participating in important creation/evolution debates.

James Parkinson (1755-1824) was an English physician who made a number of significant medical discoveries. These included recognition of the nature and danger of a perforated appendix, and first describing the condition known ever since as "Parkinson's disease." He was also an ardent amateur geologist, apparently the first to recognize the plant origin of coal. He also wrote extensively on the Biblical flood and its geological effects, especially in the formation of coal and oil.
