Finding God in the Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science

by Mike McHargue

There is absolutely nothing as effective for learning about physical reality as the sciences, and I love them for it. But my faith gives me something else. A sense of meaning, belonging, and purpose in the midst of all those facts. It gives me hope that all things will work out for good, that love is the basic reality of our existence, because God is love. These ideas don’t have tremendous empirical merit, but they change my life when I hold them in an open mind. Science gives us fact. Faith gives us meaning.
