Cristobal Acosta *** Not in Gale
(1515 - 1580). Portugese physicist, botanist, pharmaceutical scientist and historian. A Moon crater is named in his honor (Langrenus C).
The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/ES/humsoc/Galileo/Catalog/Files/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.
http://www.asu.edu/lib/speccoll/patten/html/83b.html:
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://creationanswers.net/biblical/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.”
José de Acosta, S.J.
(1539-1600). Spanish missionary. Natural historian and geographer. Entered Jesuit order (1551); to Peru (1571); provincial (1576-81); theologian to council of Lima (1582); to Spain (1587); author of Historia natural y moral de las Indias (1590) abstracted online at http://www.rarebooks.nd.edu/exhibits/durand/indies/acosta.html. The family were converted Jews.
From http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/sj/scientists/acosta.htm:
José de Acosta, S.J. (Spanish: 1540-1600) is called the Pliny of the New World because of his book Natural and Moral History of the Indies which provided the first detailed description of the geography and culture of Latin America, Aztec history and - of all things - the uses of coca. For his work on altitude sickness in the Andes he is listed as one of the pioneers of modern aeronautical medicine. José was far ahead of his time in the selection and description of his observations. Not satisfied, however, with mere descriptions, he tried to explain causes. José was one of the earliest geophysicists, having been among the first to observe, record and analyze earthquakes, volcanoes, tides, currents, magnetic declinations and meteorological phenomena.

Testimony in In Six Days: Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation, edited by John F. Ashton, Ph.D. Master Books, Inc., Green Forest, AR, 2001. ISBN 0-89051-341-4. “The problem with the origin of life is well stated by the question, ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ Every egg anyone has ever seen was laid by a chicken and every chicken was hatched from an egg. Hence, the first chicken or first egg which appeared on the scene in any other way would be unnatural, to say the least.”
Professor Carl Adolph Agardh
(1785-1859). Swedish botanist, mathematician, national economist, member of the Parlament from 1817 (although he was somewhat impulsive and believed in faithfullness to ideas rather than to a political party), clergyman (bishop in Karlstad in 1835) and member of the Swedish Academy. His education took place at the university of Lund and as a botanist he devoted his studies to the algae, as did his son Professor Jacob Georg Agardh, 1813-1901, who was appointed Professor of botany in Lund from 1854 and also devoted his studies to the algae.

François De Aguilon, S.J. *** Not in Gale
Mathematician. Architect. Aguilon was the originator of St. Ignatius (later St. Charles) in Antwerp, perhaps in cooperation with a lay brother, Peter Huyssens, an accomplished architect. Aguilon was certainly responsible for the first phases of construction. He worked on other architectural projects.
From http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/sj/scientists/aguilon.htm:
A special school for mathematics was started in 1611 at Antwerp by François De Aguilon (1546-1617): and produced Jesuit geometers such as Tacquet and de la Faille. It demonstrated how serious the Society was about geometry. The French Jesuits also developed another important school for Jesuit mathematicians which flourished for generations. Peter Paul Rubens designed the engravings for the illustrations of Aguilon's major work, Opticorum libri sex philosophis juxta ac mathematicis utiles (Anvers, 1613), “Six Books of Optics, useful for philosophers and mathematicians alike”, concerns geometrical optics, which in the Jesuit schools was taught under the heading of Geometry. He was given the task of organizing the teaching of geometry and science which would be useful for geography, navigation, architecture and the military arts. His plan was to synthesize the works of former geometers starting with Euclid and apply geometry to the three ways in which the eye perceives: directly, then by reflection and finally by refraction. Aguilon had planned to write books on catoptrics and dioptrics but his death interfered with the publication of the two later sections. His treatment of different kinds of projections, especially stereographic, was meant to aid architects, cosmographers, navigators and artists.

George Biddell Airy
(1801-1892). English astronomer. Astronomer royal (1835-81); equipped Royal Observatory at Greenwich with newly designed instruments; reduced all lunar and planetary observations made at Greenwich in 1750-1830 and otherwise organized work of observatory; invented cylindrical lens for correction of astigmatism (1827).

Salomon Alberti *** Not in Gale
(1540-1600). German physician, specialist in anatomy.
The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/ES/humsoc/Galileo/Catalog/Files/alberti.html:
Alberti’s most noteworthy achievement was the study of the venous valves. He was the first to provide illustrations of venous valves in Tres orationes (Nuremberg, 1585). Having studied the lacrimal apparatus, he published De lacrimis in 1581. He also provided an extended account of the ileocecal valve, the cochlea, and, as an original contribution, the renal papillae. In Oratio de surditate et mutitate (Nuremberg, 1591), he discussed the problem of deafness and muteness. His treatise De achorbuto, published in the same year, was led by his interest in the problem of scurvy. He taught in the medical faculty at Wittenberg for many years, and became physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony in 1592. There he was dean of the philosophical faculty, thrice dean of the medical faculty, and also thrice rector of the University. He was physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm from 1592-1600.
St. Albertus Magnus
The German philosopher and naturalist St. Albertus Magnus (ca. 1193-1280), also known as Albert the Great, was a dominant figure in the evolution of Christian scholastic thought and a precursor of modern science. The patron saint of natural scientists and known in his lifetime as “The Great Doctor,” Albertus Magnus (Albert the Great) was one of the most important scientific polymaths of the Middle Ages. In the natural sciences he is known for his clear, accurate observations and his dispelling of erroneous beliefs through careful investigation.

Alcuin of York
The English churchman Alcuin of York (ca. 730-804) was an educator, statesman, and liturgist. In the total range of his talents he was unequaled by any other man of his time.
From J. J. O’Connor and E F Robertson http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Mathematicians/Alcuin.html:
In 781 Alcuin accepted an invitation from Charlemagne to go to Aachen to a meeting of the leading scholars of the time. Following this meeting, he was appointed head of Charlemagne’s Palace School at Aachen and there he developed the Carolingian minuscule, a clear script which has become the basis of the way the letters of the present Roman alphabet are written. Before leaving Aachen, Alcuin was responsible for the most precious of Carolingian codices, now called the Golden Gospels. These were a series of illuminated masterpieces written largely in gold, often on purple coloured vellum.
The development of Carolingian minuscule had, although somewhat indirectly, a large impact on the history of mathematics. It was a script which was much more readable than the old unspaced capital script which was in use before this and, as a consequence, most of the mathematical works were freshly copied into this new script in the 9th century. Most of the works of the ancient Greek mathematicians which have survived do so because of this copying process and it is the ‘latest’ version written in minuscule script which has survived.

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.
(Translation from French by F. Skiff, 2000)

John Anderson *** Not in Gale
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.

Education: BA, University of Iowa, 1951; MA, University of Iowa, 1956; Ph.D., Ohio State University, 1965.
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.”
