Men like Kepler, Galileo, Newton, and others began to search the Scriptures for their science and to bring glory to God. This brought results were nothing short of astonishing.
Laws Were Given
Upon release of the Bible to everyman, culture increased and more of the populace learned to read. Scientists applied Scripture, expecting to find an orderly work of God's hands from an orderly God.
They read that to find knowledge one had to go to the Lord first.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…
Proverbs 1:7
Almost immediately scientific laws were being formulated.
J.P. Joule stated:
“It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed.”
From Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion to Newtons Law of Gravity see the list below of what God-fearing men discovered from giving God the glory.

I think men of science as well as other men need to learn from Christ, and I think Christians whose minds are scientific are bound to study science that their view of the glory of God may be as extensive as their being is capable.
James Clerk Maxwell
“Therefore, Jesus Christ is the model in which man can discover his real nature.”
Blaise Pascal
"The Universe is not neutral in its communication of God."
Prof. John Lennox - Oxford University
The problem came when men no longer wanted to give God the glory, and Satan was right there to empower their effort.
