Jesus matters to the sciences. The history of scientific exploration was forever changed as Jesus followers studied the ‘book of nature.’ Christians are the ‘fathers’ and founders of these disciplines…Jesus followers didn’t simply contribute to the sciences, they founded and led the sciences.
Jesus matters because he established a worldview that encouraged exploration in an explosion of scientific discovery, the scientific revolution, and an unparalleled history of excellence in the sciences. From the writings of the ‘science fathers’–the vast majority of whom were Jesus followers–Jesus’s life, ministry, and mission could be reconstructed, even if all the Christian Bibles were destroyed.
