On The Role Of The Faith In God In Boyle's Scientific Thoughts

On the Role of the Faith in God in Boyle's Scientific thoughtsChristianity do wrong heavily to scientific workers in the common activities for political benefits , also for the bishops'insularities. We can't neglect this history. But it is a rash act to regard this relation between religion (Christianity) and science as a simple way and disclaim a kind of obverse significance what Christianity do during science produce actually. To our satisfaction, studies display, from the present, especially from the beginning of the last century, many scholars admit these facts that some thoughts or views in Christianity make modern science burgeon. To Boyle, people see that he had made some useful works between religion (Christianity) and science, which is a kind of progress in thought. But we also see, at the same time, that these new thoughts are short of system, that's to say, under that especial historic underground, which religion thoughts, after all, do make clearly an acceleration to scientific works and scientific experimentations for scientists, and how does this impact do?In this thesis, we take Robert Boyle, one of the great founders of the modern science, as example and analyze carefully the role of his religious complex in his scientific activities. We can see more clearly by the analysis what positive influence the idea of God had in that age upon the formation of the concept "the laws of nature" and the belief that the human being can understand them. We also hope that this study can make up for defects in this area and can find new ways in how to get to know and how to understand science.There are five parts in this paper. Generally, part one has discussed the relation between the modern science and the Christian religion in history and the studies about Boyle and the Corresponding literature data; Part two make it clear further that loyalty for God and the firm pursuit for the science had been combined well in Boyle at that particular historic background in the 17th century, which is our example that we can study that times's feature; Part three make it an emphasis that which views in Christian religion make an active impact on scientific works; Part four illustrates Boyle's scientific works with the help of the views of God; Part five is the conclusion of this paper, which analyze deeply the significance of the affair about Boyle in philosophy, in science and its impact in history.
