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!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
