88|Does Science Point to God? Helping Your Children See the Creator in Creation with Douglas Ell
Hi Moms,
What if science doesn't pull our children away from God - but actually gives us more reasons to stand in awe of Him?
In today's episode of the Christian Homeschool Mom Podcast, I’m joined by Douglas L., an author, father, grandfather, and science enthusiast who shares his fascinating journey from atheism to faith.
Douglas studied mathematics and physics at MIT and later became a lawyer. For much of his early life, he considered himself an atheist. But after an experience in church and a desire to understand whether faith could be supported by evidence, he began exploring the relationship between science and belief in God.
What he discovered changed his life.
In this conversation, we talk about DNA, the complexity of life, the universe, intelligent design, and how Christian parents can confidently introduce these conversations to their children—even if they don't feel like science experts themselves.
In this episode, we discuss:
✨ Douglas's journey from atheism to faith
✨ Why he believes science can point us toward God
✨ The incredible complexity of DNA and the idea of biological "code"
✨ What the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) can teach us about recognizing intelligence
✨ Questions about the beginning of the universe and why there is something rather than nothing
