Deceased Inductees

The Creation Science Hall of Fame recognizes scientists, living or dead, who have contributed to our understanding of creation and the Creator. Modern science began with the Renaissance, so the Hall of Fame begins there also.

Submitted by Temlakos on

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.

John Dalton

Submitted by Temlakos on

 John Dalton (1766-1844) was born in a Quaker family and was a practicing Quaker all his life, during a time when Quakers were all known as orthodox and pious Bible-believing Christians. Throughout his life, he was known as a godly man, of very simple tastes and life-style. In science, he is best recognized today as the father of modern atomic theory, which revolutionized the study of chemistry.

Humphry Davy

Submitted by Temlakos on

Sir Humphry was the first to isolate many important chemical elements, to develop the motion theory of heat, to invent the safety lamp, and to demonstrate that diamond is carbon, along with many other vital contributions.

Jean-André Deluc

Submitted by Temlakos on

Jean-André DelucJean-André Deluc (1727-1817) was a Swiss naturalist and physicist who studied geology and actually coined the word "geology." He was strongly committed to the Genesis record of creation and the worldwide flood. He and his father developed the modern mercury thermometer and the hygrometer.

William Derham

Submitted by Temlakos on

William Derham (1657-1735) was one of the Boyle lecturers, his treatise (Physico-Theology) being a strong exposition of purposive design in nature by the God of the Bible. He was probably the first writer to argue for the study of science as a stewardship from God, very much in the vein of modern ecology. In a sense, he could be considered the father of ecology.

He had a distinguished career in India, both in politics and as a naturalist and ornithologist, authoring more than 20 books on the birds and the history of India.
