With atheists making up 93 percent of the American National Academy of Science, it doesn’t make sense to tally a count of scientists who are Christians in an attempt to argue for compatibility. Such a roster is easily overwhelmed by the converse, showing at best no direct linkage between faith and science, and objectively, that Christians making major contributions to science constitute a fringe well outside the mainstream.
On the other hand, in America, it is trivially simple to link anti-scientific ideation with Christianity. At one well-publicized example, the
Creation Museum in Ohio, exhibit after exhibit directly contrasts the scientific position with what they see as proper Christian belief. It is instructive to note that these misrepresentations and deliberate falsehoods, easily pierced by freshman science students, lie beyond the ability of even the post-Galilean Catholic church to effectively quash, and that to this day there remain prominent Catholic apologists who still believe Galileo was wrong.
Beliefs in God or gods differentiate themselves from disbelief, atheism, by their acceptance of supernatural explanations, and it is this issue which must be addressed if one is to argue an atheist into any form of theism.
