I’m a scientist by education and a project manager by career. Every single decision I make is based on data. Yet I can’t shake the feeling of how our reality could be designed by a greater being.

The way atoms and molecules work is astounding. The fact that there is a whole other field of studying things even smaller than protons and neutrons is mind boggling. These small particles aren’t a random phenomenon to be observed. They’re the basis of our entire universe.

For nearly anything in life you can figure out how something works. Why are metals hard? Why does plastic bend? Etc. as go smaller and smaller, we can no longer answer those questions and the world gets more and more confusing. Thinking about subatomic particles makes me feel like a caveman staring at the stars and being convinced there is a higher being out there. I guess it’s just easy to resort to god as an explanation for things where human knowledge is no where near great enough to explain.
