Albertus Magnus (c.1193–1280)		Patron saint of scientists in Catholicism who may have been the first to isolate arsenic. He wrote that: "Natural science does not consist in ratifying what others have said, but in seeking the causes of phenomena." Yet he rejected elements of Aristotelianism that conflicted with Catholicism and drew on his faith as well as Neo-Platonist ideas to "balance" "troubling" Aristotelian elements. In 1252 he helped appoint Thomas Aquinas to a Dominican theological chair in Paris to lead the suppression of these dangerous ideas.	Helen S. Lang (1992).

Bacon was responsible for making the concept of "laws of nature" widespread, and contributed in such areas as mechanics, geography and, most of all, optics. He was imprisoned by the church for many years because of his scientific teachings.	Lawrence & Nancy Goldstone (2005). The Friar and the Cipher. Doubleday. ISBN 0-7679-1472-4.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543)		Catholic canon who introduced a heliocentric world view. In 1620, his work was forbidden by his church "until corrected". The church demanded, in "about a quarto page of fine print" that nine sentences, by which heliocentrism was represented as certain, had to be either omitted or changed. This done, the book was still specifically banned in each edition of the index of prohibited books, with an expanded entry in the 1819 index, and not removed from the list until the final edition, in 1828.

Napoleonic Wars to the modern era

The Napoleonic wars increased secularism in the rest of Europe. The era led to other challenges and issues for Christians in science as well. The first major one being theories of evolution discussed early on by Lamarck in Philosophie Zoologique and culminating in The Origin of Species. Then in the twentieth century new areas of physics, like the Big Bang or Quantum mechanics arose. Christians in science in this period dealt with these things in a variety of ways ranging from total rejection to a measured support.
