I was talking to a lady sat on a bench in town recently. She says she does not believe in God because she is a scientist. I find that very interesting, because I have a science degree and I do believe in God. I told her how I have studied science and I so clearly see God in the way things are made and put together. Anyway this lady was convinced we are just a load of chemicals banging together.
The problem with the theory that we are just chemicals is that we are so clearly not. If we were just chemicals where would love be? or joy? or beauty? There is no need for any of that if we did not have a soul or a spirit. The lady did admit that she could not explain away the fact that she does have a soul, but she still could not make the step to believe we are created by God to know Him.
When I was at university we had a professor who lectured on the structure of starch molecules (which as it happens is extremely tedious). This guy could so clearly see the hand of God that he virually evangelised us on the different crystalline structures and repeat patterns of molecules and so on. Infact, if starch was not formed the way it is, it would not be possible to make bread.
Recently I have been reading a book which explains how more and more scientists are having to admit there is a divine creator. This covers areas of science that I have some knowldge of like biochemistry and evolution and those I have no idea about like physics or astronomy. The thing is, it all points to there being a reason why we are here. Science alone cannot explain WHY we and the planet we live on are so precisely and perfectly made, or why we appear to be unique in the universe. I know there is still a jump from belief in the divine to belief in Jesus as we know Him, but I find it amazing to realise that what is written in Romans about God showing Himself through creation is being proved by science. It's all totally mind-boggling and just provokes the response “Wow, God!
