In a recent interview, while I was presenting some scientific discoveries that made point

to the existence of God, a camera operator, a young woman whom I'll call Maria, began

to weep visibly.

Later she told me the reason for her tears.

Like many young people, Maria believed in God when she arrived in college.

But while there she repeatedly encountered professors who insisted that based on the science,

God was a myth.

No more real than Santa Claus.

Maria didn't feel equipped to challenge her professors.

She eventually left college with nagging doubts about her faith and wondered whether life

including her own life might be nothing more than a cosmic accident.

Many young people share Maria's doubts.

Indeed powerful voices in the Academy tell us that science makes belief in God and human

significance untenable.

Or as Richard Dawkins, the famed atheist from Oxford has asserted, the universe we observe

has precisely the properties we should expect.

If there is at bottom, no design, no purpose, nothing but blind, pitiless, indifference.

But are we the product of such indifference?

That is purely materialistic processes that did not have us in mind as another scientific

atheist has put it?

Because the universe have the properties we should expect if all there is is matter, vision

of reality is correct?
