Michael Faraday was one of the most brilliant experimental scientists of all times. Although he had no formal education, and never studied advanced mathematics, by painstaking experiments Faraday demonstrated the connection between electricity and magnetism. His invention of the electric dynamo, which made the generation of electricity possible, was the basis for all of the electronic technology that has developed since the 19th century. The electric light; electrical appliances such as washing machines, dryers, and microwave ovens; the telegraph, telephones, radio, and television; computers, and all of the thousands of uses of electricity-all of these owe their existence to Faraday's invention. A deeply religious man, Faraday saw no conflict between his Sandemanian religion, which believed in a literal reading of the Bible, and the world of science. For Michael Faraday, the Bible was one of God's books, and the natural world was another. He believed that by scientific study of natural laws he was studying God's creation just as he did when he studied the Bible.
