Our institutions of higher education have been co-opted by a liberal ideology for decades now that have wedged out belief in God as somehow being naïve and unacceptable to highly scientific minds. I have had several guests on this show with Ivy league educations that told me if anyone in those advanced degree programs did believe in God it was very well hidden.

My guest today is Douglas Ell, author of “Counting to God: A Personal Journey Through Science to Belief.” Doug was born into a religious home but by the time he started college, had drifted away from his religious upbringing which he viewed as outdated superstition. His non-religious beliefs were reaffirmed during his tenure as an undergraduate at MIT, where he came to embrace scientism – the view that scientific investigation is the only means of discovering real truth. Sometime later, however Doug was introduced to the scientific theory of intelligent design, and everything began to change.

Listen to the story of his wrestling match and how he was able to reconcile belief in God with his scientific background through his extensive research into intelligent design.

He just completed a series of book for children and young adults called Godproofs which can be found at his website www.godproofs.com where he explains how science points to God's certainty.
