Can confirm.

I was agnostic/atheist my whole life until I was baptized this January at 33 years old.

I am an astrophysicist and I love the LORD my God. Jesus, come back soon and deliver us from this broken world!

Welcome to the family! Thrilled to hear this!

Thank you! God is even more thrilled :)

We've never needed Jesus more. This year, our first two children passed (miscarriage). Our heart is shredded into pieces, but I keep going back to Romans 8:18

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

We have a wonderful church family that has seen us through this. I pray every day that God do His will. We are finally allowed to start trying to get pregnant again (doctor's orders). I know He will deliver us through this and bless us with a big, beautiful family!

When Jesus in the Book of life wrote of our babies birth, He gently turned the page and said, "Too beautiful for earth."

We will hold them one day. It's just not as soon as we would like.

Prayers friend. God also knows what it's like to lose a child.

Thank you so very much. This was a wonderful comment for my morning. It's been a long time since I've felt normal. God brings the only comfort.

God bless you.

“You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,” Psalm 30:11.

Your faith is inspiring to me. I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I look forward to the day when I see the post that says, “Welcome our new baby pede!”. So glad you have a good church family, too. God bless you and your family.

It will be a glorious day! I am much looking forward to that. This year has been brutal. I had the most depressing thought of my life this summer:

"At least our babies died so that I didn't have to watch their births on Zoom."

I am slowly recovering, and my wife even slower. But we place our suffering with God and know that He will bring us comfort.

Welcome, brother/sister. I was just about to say this- real scientists are often Christian, because that's the only thing that makes any sense.

Agreed. I know four other Christian astrophysicists. We aren't the majority, but we exist.

I don't know much about astrophysics, but I know the beautiful complexity speaks of God's power. It must be an amazing insight.

And the universe is much much more complex than you or I perceive! It's all a great mystery given to us by God.

Hey, everybody! I found the "real scientists"! Get a load of them, guys. Right here!

No it doesn't. This whole statement is riddled with fallacies. Deism makes sense. Christianity doesn't at all.

Why look at only some of the evidence? The universe says there is a God. The prophecies and witnesses say He came to us.

All things point towards the evidence of an intelligent creator.
