Scientist Michael Faraday on the Word of God

The Christian who is taught by God (by His Word and Holy Spirit) finds his guide in the Word of God, and commits the keeping of his soul in the hands of God. He looks for no assurance beyond what the Word of God can give him; and if his mind is troubled by the cares and fears which may assail him, he can go nowhere but to the throne of grace and to Scripture. No outward manifestation can give either instruction or assurance to him, nor can any outward opposition or trouble diminish his confidence for Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them who are called, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. The Christian religion is a revelation and that revelation is the Word of God.

— from The Letters of Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday (1791–1867) was an English scientist most famous for his discoveries and experiments in electromagnetism and electrochemistry, including his work in discovering the principles of electromagnetic induction and electrolysis. Faraday’s many inventions involving electromagnetism laid the foundation for the technological advances in electrical motors and electricity as a practical component of technological advancement. A devout Christian, Faraday belonged to an offshoot of the Church of Scotland known as the Sandemanian denomination. One of the most revered men of science in history, Faraday served as deacon and elder in his church.
