These 3 Books Made Me Believe In God, From A Girl Who Used To Be An Atheist

In This Article:

I am writing this because I used to be an atheist. I was bred to love science and math. I learned how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide when I was 5 years old. My brain was wired to be as logical as possible.

Growing up, my life was all about biology, chemistry, physics, followed by test tubes, pipettes, and atoms.

This part of my educational journey, during which I was essentially taught to be an atheist, was also the chapter of life during which I was most inquisitive. I started questioning life and how light can be a particle, wave, and sometimes even both at the same time.

My questions only become more complex where I started to learn more about quantum physics.

Quantum physics is the study of light and its function in life. Trying to learn about it before I experienced a lot of life ended up being difficult, but then became easier as events in my life began to unfold in mysterious ways. I'm the most organized, detail-oriented person I know — at least, I feel that way.

I noticed that even when I planned things perfectly, the most unexpected things would come up and I would find myself scrambling to pick up the pieces.

Would you believe me if I told you I saw all the warning signs but ignored them because I felt my plan was so perfect?

Okay, but who put those warning signs out? Who has that kind of time? These are the questions I would ask myself. It wasn't until studying medicine when I realized I was lost and didn't know what was going on anymore.

Me, Miss Biology Major, having studied the science of life since I was a kid, had no idea how life performs itself.

Let's take my cardiology class, for example. It was anatomy day and I was feeling curious, so I raised my hand and asked the professor a question. “Where is our soul located?" and just as most any medical school professor would answer, the response was “we don't know yet.".

So, basically my world fell apart because there was one thing I believed in and that was souls.

Putting that much effort into schooling to finally attend a medical school and learn they don't know what they're talking about either was mind-blowing! Ask them about a pharmaceutical drug and they will share all of the side effects — because that's what we need more knowledge of, is drugs.

I stopped myself from expecting medical institutions to have answers and I started to dive deeper — and never come up for air.

I fully committed myself to learning about quantum physics, during which I got all the answers I was looking for.

Here are 3 books you can read to learn more about light and the ultimate source; God.

The following 3 books are written by New York Times bestselling author and scientist Gregg Braden. Every concept is explained through historical research-based experiments and scriptures. Enjoy the reckoning!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
