The Chemistry Portal


Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the composition, properties, and structure of matter, and how different substances react together and the transformations they can go through.

There are a number of Creation scientists involved in the study of chemistry. One of the founding fathers of chemistry was creationist Robert Boyle to whom Modern chemistry owes enormous gratitude for his work, writings and research. Boyle loved God’s truth, which helped him see the grand errors of alchemical theory that were hindering the development of what is now scientific chemistry.

Silicon is a chemical element with the atomic number 14, and the symbol Si. It is the second most abundant element on Earth comprising approximately 25.7% of the crust.[1] Due to its low reverse leakage current silicon is used as the main component when making semiconductor devices like glass, ceramics, and cement.

Quotes


An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle. - Francis Crick (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology and Medicine), Life Itself, Its Origin and Nature (1981), p. 88.
