It is not uncommon for the scientist's faith to be strengthened by what he or she observes in research. I know that has been the case for me so far.
Moi aussi.
A very good friend of mine, who was a researcher at Sandia labs at the time, told me the same thing, so persuasively that it changed the trajectory of my life. Many who call themselves men of science are made insecure by the idea of things they can not understand, especially the very intelligent. Others are relieved that they don't have to know everything while still finding meaning in their lives.
I agree. When I took A & P for nursing school (about a thousand years ago!) it was the beginning of my true faith. Before then- I believed or more accurately- I hoped. After learning physiology- I KNEW.
For me, I needed look no further than freshman level biology. The ATP process alone (with Krebs being a good example) just screams "Designer".
