"For most of my life, I was an atheist/agnostic person(even though I was raised Catholic) who lived the best, most ethical life I was able. My morals were higher than all those around me, and I was oh so proud! But Christ humbled me...I am changed in so many ways that I never understood before, and He has made all the difference.
For atheists/agnostic(or those simply struggling with their faith) out there with so many questions that block you from Belief, please see me as a resource. I have lived on both sides of the chasm, and I can answer ALL of your questions in perhaps hopeful ways that will surprise you.
I have a scientific background in Electrical Engineering with 5 patents in the U.S. alone. I have studied evolution and 'Big Bang Theory. I am a member of MENSA, so I am in the club of 'the intellectually elite", as many atheists like to think themselves. But yet I believe with all my heart.
Challenge me in my thinking, ask me how can I possibly believe--in the face of evolution?, call me stupid or other choice phrases, ask me where is my PROOF?? But do not 'do nothing' and pretend that you have searched for answers. Praying to God to reveal himself to you is not enough. That's exactly what I did for so many years, but that is ALL I did. It is not that simple. Nothing in life...or in death is..."

I assure you that a 'miracle' awaits you, that will suffice to provide the unique evidence you need, to convict you in Christ. But it will not be served on a silver platter. You must FIRST desire God to be real, not out of personal weakness, but out of personal humility when you consider the awesome splendor of the universe in comparison to the simplicity of you. SECONDLY, you must do more than just 'covet' God to reveal Himself to you through prayer. Instead you must seek God with all your strength and heart and ONLY then will He be found by you. But you can't seek God ONLY in science, you must be more dilligent than that and confront both sides of the debate. THIRDLY, you must be willing to accept the impossible even as it stares you in the face.
All this happened to me. It will happen to you should you desire it. Please know that I will walk with you every step of the way. If you don't know Christ in a powerful and real way, then allow me to introduce the two of you. You will see the Face of Christ with your heart and you will hear the Voice of Christ, God speaking to you, with your eyes"

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me , and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,"
- God 600 B.C. (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
"It may be entirely possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken.
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations.
It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all frienships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilzations--these are mortal...But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.
- C.S. Lewis 1952
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: Im ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I dont accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
