52 Blogs to Christ

In my heart, I have always been and will always be a physicist. The idea that we can truly understand what goes on around us and that we can use that knowledge to create new inventions and to discover new phenomena appeals to me like no other discipline ever did. Everything physicists hold as truth is based on asking fundamental questions and conducting and recreating innumerable experiments. In any scientific discipline you are taught not to take anything as fact without first asking questions. You are taught that an experiment (be it a physical experiment or a thought experiment) is worthless unless it can be recreated. This is the mindset I bring to anything I study.

Most Christians (or most people, for that matter) ask themselves at some point whether God is truly real. Most question the validity of the Scripture. Most struggle to understand the true meaning of Biblical text. I am no different than most in this regard. Still, it is my sincere hope that I can offer something different when it comes to the way we seek Christ. Some come to know Christ through personal revelations. Others trust implicitly that their parents or other key figures in their lives would not lead them astray. Still others believe that answered prayers prove the existence of God. For me, though, it is physics, logic, and reason that provide the most concrete evidence.

I want to share with you the reasons that I first truly began to trust in God, Christ, and Biblical truth. I ask that you read each post with an open heart and that you do not allow any preconceptions to cloud your judgment. I will take the next year to lead you down the same path that led me to Christ. I encourage you to comment and to challenge those things that leave you feeling unconvinced.
