He Blinded me with Science

I went to an Iron Sharpens Iron conference two weeks ago. If you haven't heard of it, don't worry, neither did I before my father invited me. It's a Christian men's conference held by Vision New England. Anyway, they had some great sessions and speakers at the conference, in particular Michael Guillen. Michael has a ton of academic credentials, of course, in addition to being the former scientific correspondent for ABC for 14 years. Michael's class was entitled "Can an Intelligent Man Believe in God?". Great question, I thought, so I attended his session.

Michael was a "Practical Atheist", the kind of person that believed in God, but didn't live as though he did. He has a PHD in Mathematics, Astronomy, and Physics, and it was through science that he came to give his life to Christ. Michael breaks down all the different types of atheists, and how science not only didn't and can't disprove the existence of God, but how science lead him to know that only God could have created the world. The great thing about Michael's book is that he uses scientific logic to breakdown the arguments of the atheists and catches them in their own arguments.

Anyway, I'm not going to go on about all that's in his book, it's a great, short read titled "Can a Smart Person Believe in God".
