Dr. von Braun

Wernher von Braun was the director of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.[1] Von Braun was a creation scientist who viewed science as the means though which we learn about God's creation. In a lecture at Taylor University on February 12 1972, he said:

Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. While through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him, through religion he tries to harness the force of nature within him.[2]
