'''Louis Pasteur''' (Dec. 27, 1822-Sept. 28, 1895) was a [[France|French]] chemist and microbiologist, perhaps the greatest scientist of all time. He In Charles Murray's study of excellence in science and the arts, ''Human Accomplishment'', Pasteur is rated the most famous for inventing significant figure in history in the field of medicine.<ref>Murray, Charles, Human Accomplishment, HarperCollins ebook, (2003), location 2553 of 15117.</ref> He invented the process that keeps milk from going sour, which is known now known, in his honor, as [[pasteurization]]. He also performed experiments that confirmed the [[germ theory of disease]], created the first [[rabies]], [[anthrax]] and [[chicken cholera]] vaccines, was a founder of bacteriology and made numerous discoveries in chemistry. Pasteur described on explained a scientific basis for the process of fermentation, wine-making, and the brewing of beer. "He debunked the widely accepted myth of [[spontaneous generation]], thereby setting the stage for modern biology and [[biochemistry]]." [http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/BC/Louis_Pasteur.php]

A devout [[Christian]] who [[prayer|prayed]] in his laboratory, Pasteur was also the Dean of the faculty of sciences at [[Lille]] University. He In 1887 he founded on June 4, 1887 the [[Pasteur Institute]], a French non-profit private foundation dedicated to the study of which studies biology, a at the forefront of the battle against infectious disease. Pasteur rejected the [[theory of evolution]]:{{cquote|When he was asked if he believed in evolution, he said, "no."<ref>https://www.allaboutscience.org/louis-pasteur-faq.htm</ref>}} Pasteur's brilliant and daring development of the rabies vaccine and his use of it to save a 9-year-old boy's life after he had been repeatedly bitten by a rabid dog is one of the most inspiring incidents in all of science.<ref>https://www.vbivaccines.com/wire/louis-pasteur-attenuated-vaccine/</ref> Pasteur risked his own freedom in saving the boy, as Pasteur was not a licensed physician.

Pasteur met with violent resistance from the medical men of his time when he advanced his germ theory(see: [[Disturbed character#Science vs. Evolutionism|Disturbed character: Science vs. Evolutionism]]). <ref>[http://web.missouri.edu/~hanuscind/8710/Barber1961.pdfResistance by Scientists to Scientific Discovery] by Bernard Barber</ref> See also: [[Law of biogenesis]]

"If one were to choose among the greatest benefactors of humanity, Louis Pasteur would certainly rank at the top. "([[Ibidem]])

''Science knows no countryA bit of science distances one from [[God]], because knowledge belongs but much science nears one to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligenceHim.''

''Let me tell you The more I study nature, the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacitymore I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.''

''A bit The role of science distances one from [[God]], but much science nears one to Himthe infinitely small in nature is infinitely great."''

''The more I study natureQuestion your priorities often, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creatormake sure God always comes first.''
