The more I learn about science, the more I believe in God...

Doesn't it usually work the other way around? Isn't science supposed to disprove God?

Nevertheless, I first had a bit of a spiritual awakening in physics class several months ago, when we were introduced to the basic concepts of String Theory. I most recently had another one just last week in biology, when we were presented with a stunning visual of the complexity of cells.

I think it's absolutely amazing that cells are microscopic, yet so utterly complex. Each one is suited perfectly to its function, all of its parts work together, all of its reactions occur in fractions of a second. Everything has an order, a purpose, a mathematical pattern. Everything is made up of smaller components, even pure elements themselves. How can something as small as an atom have so much energy contained within it? It almost seems too perfect to be mere coincidence.

Even just thinking about the incomprehensible and mysterious vastness of the universe leaves me with chills down my spine.

What gets me is that everything fits together so perfectly.

People used to use God to explain nature. Could it be that nature actually explains God?

I've been an agnostic for a long time, believe me, but now I'm discovering a spiritual side of me that I never thought I would.

I guess I'm starting to view "God" as a kind of universal life force, an unexplainable phenomenon that is ultimately behind absolutely everything.

It seems weird, I guess, but science is actually seeming to make me into a spiritual person.

I'm in Med School and was raised Catholic. I can't really say I have been taught to believe science is supposed to disapprove God. In fact, somehow the complexity of the nature makes me believe in the power of thy Lord.

lol its not unusual to think that science backs up religion...seeing as you look a bit harder for coincidences with science and religion being catholic and all...
its also brought up in "angels and demons" by dan brown with the pope or something...

the universe is infinite. statisticaly everything was bound to hapen eventually. i find that the lack of answered prayers is a better indicator of if there is a god.
