The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu … iles/acosta_cri.html

Acosta was one of the pioneers in studying the plants, especially in their pharmaceutical uses, of the orient. His Tractado de las drogas y medicinas de las Indias orientales (dedicated to Burgos) contains systematic, first hand observations on oriental drugs. It acknowledges d'Orta's work but includes plants he did not mention and is illustrated by drawings. From a converted Jewish family. He lived as a Catholic.

Christophori A Costa. . .Aromaticum & medicamentorum in Orientali India nascentium liber: plvrimvm lucis adserens iis quae a Doctore Garcia de Orta in hoc genere scripta sunt.

Acosta was a Portuguese soldier and physician who travelled widely, visiting such exotic places as Persia, India, Malaysia, and perhaps even China. He landed at Goa in 1568 a few months after the death of Orta, and was appointed physician to the Royal Hospital of Cochin. After some years of studying the plant life of India, he returned to Portugal where his manuscript was published. This first edition of Acosta's work concentrates on the drugs of the East, drawing heavily on what had already been published by Orta. Although it is primarily a translation into Spanish of Orta's work, authorities have stated that Acosta was knowledgeable on this subject. In his translation he clarifies Orta's text and adds to its usefulness. Many of the illustrations are from accurate drawings created by Acosta himself.

Paul D. Ackerman, Ph.D. “The Compelling Secular Necessity of the Kansas Board of Education’s Amendments to its Science Education Standards,” http://www.trueorigin.org/kansas1.asp

In 1993 Dr. Ackerman was one of a number of Christians from the U.S. and Korea who travelled to China to present to the Chinese government the case for Christianity. Others in this group included Dr. John Morris from the Institute for Creation Research and Astronaut Shanon Lucid. Dr. Ackerman was not able to present this paper but did hand it out to a number of people. It is a unique summary of how Christianity is relevant to individuals and beneficial to a nation.

Paul D. Ackerman, Ph.D. “CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN HUMAN AFFAIRS, Message Prepared for the Conference: The Future Impact of Christianity on China,” Beijing International Convention Center, The People’s Republic of China, December 1993: http://creationanswe … iblical/ACKHUMAF.HTM. This presentation for the People’s Republic of China was adapted from Dr. Ackerman’s book, In God’s Image After All: How Psychology Supports Biblical Creationism, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49516, U.S.A., 1990. Includes testimony. “After I came to know and believe in Christ I found the adventure and fullness in life that I had longed for as a little child but had not found in my life as an unbelieving psychologist. The spiritual theme of my work as a psychologist and scientist has been that God is near and not far off; but also that we need God in order to live our lives fully and properly. The issue of the ministry God called me to as a Christian psychologist is biblical faith and joy in that faith.”

The True Scientist
Happy the one who in his learned watches,
Contemplating the marvels of this vast universe,
Before so much beauty, before so much grandeur,
Bows the knee and acknowledges the divine creator.
I do not share the foolish incoherence
Of the scientist who would contest the existence of God,
Who would close his ears to what the heavens declare,
And refuse to see what the shines before his eyes.
To know God, to love Him, to offer Him a pure homage
That is true knowledge and the study of the wise.

Anderson (1833-1900), a native of Scotland, became the first curator of the Indian Museum in 1865. Although based in Calcutta, he joined the Sladen expedition to Burma and Yunnan in 1868, and a second expedition to the same region in 1875. These two expeditions provided the material upon which Anderson based his first large herpetological work, Anatomical and Zoological Researches, known especially for its excellent plates of Asian turtles. After 1886 Anderson returned to Britain and later initiated work in the more arid areas of southwest Asia and north Africa.

(1959-2003). Astronaut. Died on February 1, 2003 over the southern United States when Space Shuttle Columbia and her crew perished during entry, 16 minutes prior to scheduled landing. Lieutenant Colonel Michael P. Anderson served as the Payload commander on his second flight into space. Just before leaving on the flight, Anderson told his minister that, “If this thing doesn’t come out right, don’t worry about me; I’m just going on higher.” Washington State Highway 904, running through Cheney, Washington, where he graduated from high school, was renamed in his memory. After his death, Asteroid 51824 Mikeanderson was named for him.

After completing a year of technical training at Keesler AFB Mississippi he was assigned to Randolph AFB Texas. At Randolph he served as Chief of Communication Maintenance for the 2015 Communication Squadron and later as Director of Information System Maintenance for the 1920 Information System Group. In 1986 he was selected to attend Undergraduate Pilot Training at Vance AFB, Oklahoma. Upon graduation he was assigned to the 2^nd Airborne Command and Control Squadron, Offutt AFB Nebraska as an EC 135 pilot, flying the Strategic Air Commands airborne command post code-named “Looking Glass”. From January 1991 to September 1992 he served as an aircraft commander and instructor pilot in the 920^th Air Refueling Squadron, Wurtsmith AFB Michigan. From September 1992 to February 1995 he was assigned as an instructor pilot and tactics officer in the 380 Air Refueling Wing, Plattsburgh AFB New York. Anderson logged over 3000 hours in various models of the KC-135 and the T-38A aircraft.

Selected by NASA in December 1994, Anderson reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995. He completed a year of training and evaluation, and was qualified for flight crew assignment as a mission specialist. Anderson was initially assigned technical duties in the Flight Support Branch of the Astronaut Office. Anderson flew on STS-89 and STS-107, logging over 593 hours in space.

Norman Dean Anderson once told Contemporary Authors: “As a former junior high school science teacher, as a father of six, and as a university professor of science education, my continuous contacts with young people and science provide more ideas than I can write about in a lifetime. And as I read and do research for a book, more ideas for writing projects are generated. There are many motivations for writing these books--to share the excitement of science with adolescents, to create new ways of presenting ideas and activities that can be performed as part of the learning process, and perhaps most important, to organize my own thoughts and to learn, myself, about the many fascinating aspects of science.”

“Truth is a unity, and this is my basic approach to science and religion. Biblical revelation must be compatible with genuine scientific discovery, but revelation must take precedence since human enquiry is flawed by human nature. The Bible makes it clear that God is sovereign in creation, providence, and the personal salvation of the soul through faith in Jesus Christ.

“In my scientific research I am concerned mainly with understanding the phenomena of interest. Although much of my work is applied (i.e., engineering) science, I am still a physicist at heart, seeking to reveal by research the excellent harmony of nature and its unity as expressed by the laws of science.”

Thomas Anderson (1819-1874) was an organic chemist. Born and brought up in Leith, near Edinburgh, the son of a physician, Anderson was educated at the High School of Leith, Edinburgh Academy and the University of Edinburgh, where he gained an MD degree in 1841.

Anderson is primarily remembered for his discovery of picoline (an isomer of aniline) and the base pyridine in a series of experiments carried out between 1848-1868 in which he distilled bone oil and investigated the concentrated fractions of organic bases created. He was also known at the time for his work on agriculture - he was chemist to the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland from 1848. In this role, he wrote Elements of Agricultural Chemistry (1860), considered to be an accurate picture of the state of science at the time, but otherwise largely unremarkable. Anderson also looked at physiology in humans, particularly the chemical changes that occur in the body during physiological processes such as eating. In addition, Anderson worked for some time on codeine and other opiates, leading to his discovery of the composition of a number of alkaloids.

(Born c.1543-1620). Dutch mathematician, astronomer. Cartographer and miltary engineer for the States of Holland.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/anthoniz.html

In 1578 he was summoned to Utrecht as master of fortification, and in 1579 entrusted by the States of Holland with strengthening of Naarden and Muiden. He was both engineer of the states of Holland and mathematician to the Prince of Orange around 1580. Between 1582 and 1601 he was elected burgomaster of Alkmaar several times. He was the chief of fortifications of the United Netherlands in 86, 87, 88, 90-96, and he did much work on fortification under the Princes of Orange. At the request of the Prince he composed a piece on the quadratuare of the circle in 1584. He also wrote on the calendar, on sun dialing (including the problem of determining latitude from the length of shadows. He wrote as well on the astrolabe, and made an instrument that showed the position of the moon.

(1501-1552). German astronomer, mathematician and geographer. Professor at Ingolstadt (from 1527); author of Cosmographia (1524), Astronomicum Caesareum (1540). Peter Apian was a Renaissance university professor who applied mathematics to the works of Claudius Ptolemy to develop new systems for surveying and mapmaking, to predict the position and movement of celestial bodies, and to calculate detailed sine tables.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … log/Files/apian.html:

“Apian made sundials and astronomical instruments, inventing his own quadrant and armillary sphere, and also devoted himself to constructing instruments that would solve spherical-trigonometric problems mechanically.

His special form of the quadrant was useful in surveying.

Apian was a cartographer, although more an editor and publisher of maps than one who prepared them. In 1520 he did a world map based on the larger Waldseemüller world map. Apian's is the oldest world map that uses the name ‘America.’ In 1530 he did another world map which was much more his own work. It used the heart projection, which was not however Apian's invention. In 1533 he published a map of Saxony prepared from an earlier one by Sevastianus a Rotenhan.

Apian was the first to propose the use of moon distances (the moon's distance from fixed stars) to determine longitudes.”

J.J. O’Connor and E.F. Robertson. “Petrus Apianus,” http://www-gap.dcs … ticians/Apianus.html. “Another publication between 1524 and 1540 was Apian's most important contribution to mathematics itself, rather than its applications. This was his book Instrumentum sinuum sive primi published in 1534 which contained the first sine tables calculated for every minute of arc. Like all other works by Apian this book contained a host of applications of mathematics, and the sine tables are applied to problems of astronomy, navigation and architecture.”

(1225 - 1274). The Italian philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1224-1274) was one of the foremost minds of medieval scholasticism. He is recognized as the leading theological authority within the Roman Catholic Church.

(c. 1530-1589). Italian anatomist, physiologist, surgeon.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … g/Files/aranzio.html:

Aranzio dicovered the pedes hippocamp, the cerebellum cistern, the fourth ventricle, and the arterial duct between the aorta and the pulmonary duct. Aranzio published De humano foetu libellus in 1563, and Liber anatomicarum observationum in 1579. In these he presented the new direction of anatomy, based not mere on simple description of the organs of the body but also on experimental investigation of their functions. His work on the foetus led to advice on delivery. He was the first firm advocate of the lesser circulation of the blood.

Lecturer in medicine and surgery at the University of Bologna, 1556-1570. Professor of surgery and professor of anatomy at the University of Bologna, 1570-89. Education: He studied medicine at the University of Bologna, and received both M.D. and Ph.D. at Bologna in 1556.

“I have been used for many years to study histories of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them, and I know of no better and fuller evidence of every sort, to the understanding of a fair inquirer, than the great sign which God hath given us that Christ died and rose again from the dead.” Thomas Arnold, Sermons on the Christian Life - Its hopes, Its Fears, and its Close, (6^th ed., London, 1854), p. 324.

(1587-1660). Italian botanist, physician.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/aromatri.html:

Aromatari is remembered today for his hypothesis of the preformation of the germ in seeds. The hypothesis was published in the two-page Epistola de generatione plantarum ex seminibus (1625), which immediately made him famous and established his priority on the doctrine of the preformation of the germ. He also investigated the so-called permeability of the interventricular septum of the heart, but on this subject no writing exists. He also wrote on rabies.

(1911-2000). Paleoecologist. Scholar. In 1932, Artist graduated from Butler University with a baccalaureate degree in biology. That fall, he entered graduate school at Northwestern University in Indiana to work on his M.S. in paleoecology, which he completed in 1934. In September of that year, he was accepted into the doctoral program at the University of Minnesota, and completed his Ph.D. in botany in 1938. That same year, he accepted a teaching position at Amarillo College in the Texas panhandle. In 1945, Russell and Cathey (Alice Blanche’s nickname) moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he began teaching at Westminister College. In 1947 he moved his family back to Texas so he could teach biology at Abilene Christian College (now a university). But, by 1948, the Artists were on their way to do mission work in the two countries of Switzerland and Germany, where they established congregations of the churches of Christ.

“I believe that pride keeps many scientists from finding God because becoming a Christian requires humbling yourself before God and becoming vulnerable before men.”

(1622-1691). French-born astronomer, physicist, mathematician, cartographer.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … og/Files/auzout.html:

Auzout made a significant contribution to the final development of the micrometer and to the replacement of open sights by telescopic sights. He wrote a memoir on the measurement of the earth in which he advised the attachment of telescopes to surveying instruments. He made many physical experiments and systematic astronomical observations.

He was also a founding member of the Royal Observatory. He dedicated his Ephémérides du comète de 1664, (1665) to Louis XIV, urging the establishment of a public observatory in the dedication.

Authored works and letters on astronomy, physics, and mathematics. His published works are reprinted in Mémoires de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, depuis 1666 jusqu'à 1699 (Paris, 1729).

Oswald Theodore Avery (1877-1955), born in Nova Scotia, was a distinguished bacteriologist and research physician and one of the founders of immunochemistry (the study of the chemical aspects of immunology), showing relation of immunological specificity to chemical products of bacteria. He is best known, however, as a discoverer that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) serves as genetic material. The Oswald T. Avery Collection is a part of the Joshua Lederberg Papers, which are at the National Library of Medicine and available digitally. The collection was assembled by Nobel laureate Dr. Lederberg because of the strong connection between Dr. Avery’s work and his own. The work of Avery and his lab, observes Dr. Lederberg, was “the historical platform of modern DNA research” and “betokened the molecular revolution in genetics and biomedical science generally.”

Avery graduated with a B.A. degree from Colgate University in 1900 and received his M.D. degree from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1904. He then went into the clinical practice of general surgery for three years but soon turned to research and became Associate director of the bacteriology division at the Hoagland Laboratory in Brooklyn. Avery later joined the Rockefeller Institute Hospital (1913-48).

(1471-1528). German engineer, mathematician, geometer, cartographer, instrument-maker, artist and engraver.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … og/Files/duerer.html:

Toward the end of his career Duerer published Underweysung der Messung, a book in practical geometry.

Duerer was, of course, a talented artist and engraver. Many of his works are devoted to the mathematical aspects of art. Duerer also wrote Befestigungslehre. Etliche underricht zu befestigung der stett schloss und flecken (1527) which summarizes the science of fortification. Many of his suggestions were incorporated by the city of Nuremberg. This work is said to have been dictated by fear of a Turkish invasion.

He also worked on globes, celestial charts, and armillary spheres. He invented a device to aid in doing perspective for pictures.

Crater Dürer on Mercury is named in his honor.
