²⁰ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. (Romans 1:20 NASV)

While evolutionists try to discredit God by claiming life evolved through luck and happenstance, Paul makes it very clear that because of the miracle of creation, no one will have an excuse for not believing. In other words, at times God’s creation will cause even the most ardent atheists to question their faith.

Denison forum recently had an article by Tom Rudelius who has a doctorate in physics from Harvard and currently is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkely where he studies quantum field, string theory, and early universe cosmology.

Rudelius, who is a believer, wrote about his experiences being a Christian in the world of science in his book Chasing Proof, Finding Faith.

Below are a couple of paragraphs from that book:

Though science and faith are often viewed as enemies, I can also say I have felt less hostility toward religious faith in the upper echelons of physics than at the lower levels, or in the soft sciences or humanities. Anthropology, history, and religious studies departments are famously dismissive of Christianity—a trend many of my Christian friends and I experienced during the course of our university studies. […]

My high school physics teacher—who was one the best and most important teachers I ever had—occasionally made snide remarks about religion. Yet at Cornell, Harvard, and Princeton, I met several religious physics professors. One professor even suggested to his class that God might be the best explanation after all for the fine-tuning of the universe for intelligent life—and he wasn’t even a theist.
