Stanley Jaki was a brilliant scientist and theologian who dedicated his life to bridging the gap between science and religion. He was born in Hungary in 1924 and came to the United States in 1950. He earned a doctorate in theology from the University of Louvain and a doctorate in physics from Fordham University.

Jaki was a prolific writer, publishing over 40 books and hundreds of articles. He wrote on a wide range of topics, including science, religion, philosophy, and history. He was also a gifted lecturer and debater, and he frequently appeared on radio and television programs to discuss his views.

Jaki's work has had a profound impact on the way that scientists and theologians think about the relationship between science and religion. He argued that science and religion are not in conflict, but rather that they are complementary. He believed that science can provide us with a better understanding of the natural world, while religion can provide us with a deeper understanding of the human condition.

The Savior of ScienceIn his book The Savior of Science, Jaki argues that the scientific revolution was made possible by the Christian worldview. He traces the development of science from its origins in ancient Greece to its modern flowering in the West. He shows how Christian beliefs about the nature of God, the universe, and human beings provided a fertile ground for the growth of science.

Jaki argues that the scientific revolution was not a rejection of Christianity, but rather a product of it. He points to the fact that many of the early scientists were devout Christians. He also argues that the scientific method itself is based on Christian principles, such as the belief in a rational and Free Downloadly universe.
