PART 1:Is there a God?

While studying philosophy in college, I began to consider the existence of

God or a prime mover.  As a pre-med and biology major, I needed scientific

proof of a possible creator.  I met a theoretical chemist and an astrophysicist

who are both Christians and who many would place in a “league” with

Albert Einstein for their brilliant contributions to science.   If two of the brightest minds that the human race has ever known could claim and show evidence through Einstein’s theories of relativity for the existence of God,

who am I not to believe. 

 

On a bus to Belgrade airport, while traveling with the Stanford Water

Polo Team, I had what some would call an epiphany.  Looking out on a

20 acres of 3-foot tall grass undulating together with the wind, I sensed

God’s presence for the first time in my life.  I remember feeling shocked that

I had never before noticed so many thousands of individual complex organisms

appearing as one by what most consider an arbitrary force of nature-the wind. 

Being a student of science and a doubter, I was for the first time in my life

overwhelmed by a sense that there was something, someone, that existed

outside of our four dimensions.

 

Who was this God? How could I learn about God?  Was God our ultimate father as the Christian’s believe?  Was it a being that set the universe in motion and then left? Or was it a omniscient, omnipotent, all benevolent being who was master of multiple dimensions outside of our own four dimensions? Could it be infinitely close to all life without us being aware because of its ability to “spin” into dimensions of which we are not a part?  I had my doubts and many questions.
