Hope you enjoy this one!
Hello my name is Katie Braun
I will be talking about George Stokes and how as a Christian he impacted Modern Science.
George was born on August 13, 1819 in Skreen, Ireland. His father was a minister and his mother was a minister’s daughter. As the youngest of six children, he was brought up in a very religious family. George had a good educational background that, combined with his Godly heritage, prepared him for his life’s work in science.
At the age of 16, George went to Bristol College in England; there he remained there for 2 years preparing for Cambridge. At Cambridge he studied Mathematics and Science. His studies in science were considered more important because they layed the foundation for his work in modern engineering and the science of fluid mechanics.
After graduating from Cambridge, he remained there and tutored private students. George finally married Mary in 1857. That same year he became President of Victoria Institute. He remained there until his death in 1903. Before his death he wrote a book on Natural Theology. He emphasized his belief of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
George Stokes successful career in mastering and teaching fluid mechanics along his faith in Jesus Christ demonstrates that a belief in God and love for true science can be combined into a successful career.
Thank you,
Katie
