Trinity EMC Sermon Podcast

An applied scientist, and former atheist, describes how he struggled with the idea that this material world is not all there is, that there might be something else, something more, something NON-material.

An applied scientist, and former atheist, describes how he discovered the relationship between evidence, reason, and faith; how he rejected blind faith and instead pieced together observations from the physical world to determine whether the evidence points to a universe begun and governed by random chance, or begun and held together by a Creator of some kind (and if so, what kind??).
