Lord Kelvin
From Conservapedia
Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), who was Irish was born in Belfast as William Thomson, originally intended to become a minister of the Presbyterian Church but decided to become a mathematician and physicist instead. He helped with the first successful transatlantic communications cable, and the absolute scale for temperature (where zero is no heat whatsoever) (Kelvin) is named after him. Kelvin argued for Creationism against the growing voices of dissension against that position.
Thomson died on 17 Dec. 1907 in Netherhall (near Largs), Ayrshire, Scotland.
