That is why the great discoverys in Science come from Christians and men of God.
Do you want a list of non-religious and/or non-christian scientists? Or do you accept that the above quote is simply not true?
Here, a list of a few atheists and/or agnostics for you:
Thomas Edison: American inventor, one of the best inventors of all time. During his career Edison patented more than 1,000 inventions, including the
electric light, the
phonograph, and the
motion-picture camera.
Francis Crick (19162004): English molecular biologist, physicist, and neuroscientist; noted for being one of the co-discoverers of the structure of the
DNA molecule in 1953. He was awarded the
Nobel Prize in
Physiology or
Medicine in 1962.
Stephen Hawking: arguably the world's pre-eminent scientist advocates atheism in
The Grand Design.
Richard J. Roberts (1943):
British biochemist and
molecular biologist. He won the
Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1993 for the discovery of
introns in
eukaryotic DNA and the mechanism of gene-splicing.
Carl Sagan (19341996): American astronomer and astrochemist, a highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics, and other natural sciences, and pioneer of
exobiology and promoter of the
SETI. Although Sagan has been identified as an atheist according to some definitions,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atheists_in_science_and_technology#cite_note-achenbach-104 he rejected the label, stating "An atheist has to know a lot more than I know."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atheists_in_science_and_technology#cite_note-achenbach-104 He was an agnostic who,
[108] while maintaining that the idea of a creator of the universe was difficult to disprove,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atheists_in_science_and_technology#cite_note-108 nevertheless disbelieved in God's existence, pending sufficient evidence.

James D. Watson (1928): 1962-
Nobel-laureate and co-discover of the structure of DNA.
Steve Wozniak (1950): co-founder of
Apple Computer and inventor of the Apple I and Apple II.
And a few Muslims:
Abū ʿAbdallāh Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmīhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-3, earlier transliterated as
Algoritmi or
Algaurizin, (c. 780,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-Struik_93-5 c. 850) was a
Persianhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-toomer-0http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-Hogendijk-1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-Oaks-2 mathematician,
astronomer and
geographer, a
scholar in the
House of Wisdom in
Baghdad. In the twelfth century,
Latin translations of
his work on the
Indian numerals, introduced the
decimal positional number system to the
Western world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi#cite_note-Struik_93-5 His
Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing presented the first systematic solution of
linear and
quadratic equations in Arabic. In Renaissance Europe, he was considered the original inventor of algebra, although we now know that his work is based on older Indian or Greek sources.
I could go on, and on, and on.
