This book traces the history of the development of science and religion as pillars of our society and why there is perceived conflict between them. It covers the development of religion in the non-scientific era before the development of science during the Age of Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, Victorian Era, Age of the New Physics, World War II, and the High Tech Era. The lives of famous scientists with strong beliefs in God are used as examples in each period. This book is important to help stem the rising trend of atheism. It is the only book written from this biographical perspective. One of the co-authors is a prominent physicist with over 40 years of experience and the other is a Christian apologist who is known for writing both non-fiction and fiction Christian books.
