    MIT Atheist to Believer: Science, God & DNA Code - Doug Ell | Ep 81

    Can science and faith truly coexist? Doug Ell, an MIT graduate in math and physics, former atheist, and prominent attorney, shares his 30-year personal quest reconciling science and God, not in spite of the evidence, but because of it. Using the same analytical rigor from his legal and scientific careers, Doug explores the evidence that profoundly shifted his perspective. He dives into the incredible design of life, the undeniable digital code of DNA, and why the existence of the universe itself points to a creator. Doug also tackles common objections like "Who created God?" with scientific and philosophical insights, including quantum entanglement. This episode is a deep dive into the intersection of scientific discovery and spiritual inquiry, offering a fresh perspective for skeptics and believers alike. In this episode, you’ll discover: · Doug Ell's intellectual shift from MIT atheist to someone who found faith through science. · The foundational piece of evidence (the design of life and mathematical odds) that cracked his atheism. · How to apply analytical rigor and the "best explanation" standard to the existence of God. · The limitations of Darwin's theory of evolution regarding the origin and complexity of life. · A logical and philosophical approach to the "Who created God?" question, referencing space, time, and quantum entanglement. · The existence of digital code in DNA as the most tangible observable phenomenon pointing to a creator. · Doug's personal definition of innovation in exploring deep questions of existence. · Why the concept of "genetic entropy" suggests species are going downhill, not up. This is an essential conversation for skeptical STEM professionals, philosophers, and anyone seeking to reconcile scientific understanding with spiritual belief.
