'''Fred Hoyle''' was a British astronomer noted for his rejection of [[naturalistic]] theories of how the universe came into being. Nobel Prize winner Fowler wrote: "Fred Hoyle was the second great influence in my life. The grand concept of nucleosynthesis in stars was first definitely established by Hoyle in 1946."
