Presidents and Prime Ministers etc
George Washington served as the first President of the United States of America. Washington died on Dec. 14, 1799.
B. Abraham Lincoln: “ But for this Book we could not know right from wrong. I believe that the Bible is the best Gift God has ever given to man.”
Abraham Lincoln 
i/ˈeɪbrəhæm ˈlɪŋkən/ (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th president of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis.[1][2] In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was a self-educated lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, state legislator during the 1830s, and a one-term member of the Congress during the 1840s. He promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks, canals, railroads and tariffs to encourage the building of factories; he opposed the war with Mexico in 1846.< Wikipedia.com>

| Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politicianwho was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer (under the pen name Winston S. Churchill), and an artist. Since its inception in 1901, Churchill is the only British Prime Minister to have won theNobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States. |
D. Chiang Kai Shek : The Bible is the Voice of the Holy Spirit.”.
Chiang Kai-shek (October 31, 1887 – April 5, 1975) was a Chinese political and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975. He is known as Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Chieh-shih, 蔣介石) or Jiang Zhongzheng(Chiang Chung-cheng), 蔣中正) in Standard Chinese. Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, and was a close ally of Sun Yat-sen. He became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academyand took Sun's place as leader of the KMT when Sun died in 1925. In 1926, Chiang led the Northern Expedition to unify the country, becoming China's nominal leader.[3] He served as Chairman of the National Military Council of the Nationalist government of theRepublic of China (ROC) from 1928 to 1948. Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese theater of World War II), consolidating power from the party's former regional warlords. Unlike Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek was socially conservative, promoting traditional Chinese culture in the New Life Movement and rejecting western democracy and the nationalist democratic socialism that Sun embraced in favour of an authoritarian government.
E. Douglas MacArthur: “Believe me , Sir, never a night goes by, be I ever so tired, but I read the Word of God before I go to bed.”
Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American five-star general and field marshal of thePhilippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur, Jr., the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five men ever to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man ever to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army.
Scientists
A. Sir Isaac Newton: “We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime Philosophy. I find more sure marks of Authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever.”
Sir Isaac Newton (b.1624- d.1727) is arguably the greatest scientist of all time. Two of his books, Principia Mathematica and Opticks have been best sellers in the science world.
Remember that gosh-hard mathematics called Calculus. Sir Isaac Newton invented that at 22 years old! This brainiac would calculate logarithms to fifty decimal places just for fun!
B. Sir Francis Bacon: “The Volumes of Scripture…... reveal the Will of God.”
Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban,[1][a] QC (/ˈbeɪkən/; 22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, essayist, and author. He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution.
Bacon has been called the father of empiricism.[4]
C. Sir John Herschel : “All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truths come from on High, and contained in the sacred Writings.”

Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet, KH, FRS (7 March 1792 – 11 May 1871)[1] was an English polymath,mathematician, astronomer, chemist, inventor, and experimental photographer, who in some years also did valuable botanical work.[1]He was the son of Mary Baldwin and astronomer William Herschel and the father of twelve children.[1]
Herschel originated the use of the Julian day system in astronomy. He named seven moons of Saturn and four moons of Uranus. He made many contributions to the science of photography, and investigated colour blindness and the chemical power of ultraviolet rays. Wikipedia.com
D. Michael Faraday: “Why will people go astray when they have the Blessed Book to guide them?”
Michael Faraday, FRS (22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) was an English scientist who contributed to the fields ofelectromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include those of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism andelectrolysis.
Although Faraday received little formal education, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. It was by his research on themagnetic field around a conductor carrying a direct current that Faraday established the basis for the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics. Faraday also established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena.[1][2] He similarly discovered the principle of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and the laws of electrolysis. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became practical for use in technology.
As a chemist, Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularised terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion. Faraday ultimately became the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a lifetime position.
Faraday was an excellent experimentalist who conveyed his ideas in clear and simple language; his mathematical abilities, however, did not extend as far as trigonometry or any but the simplest algebra. James Clerk Maxwell took the work of Faraday and others, and summarized it in a set of equations that is accepted as the basis of all modern theories of electromagnetic phenomena. On Faraday's uses of the lines of force, Maxwell wrote that they show Faraday "to have been in reality a mathematician of a very high order – one from whom the mathematicians of the future may derive valuable and fertile methods."[3] The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named in his honour.Wikipedia.
E. James Dwight Dana: “ Young Men, , as you go forth, remember that I, an old man, who has known only science all his life, say unto you that there are no truer facts that the facts found within the Holy Scriptures.”James Dwight Dana (1813–1895) was an American geologist, mineralogist, volcanologist, and zoologist. He made pioneering studies of mountain-building, volcanic activity, and the origin and structure of continents and oceans around the world. Wikipedia.
