Atheist Rejected God Because of Science, Then Science Led Her to God"Having to accept that everything just formed on its own by itself on accident, it didn't make sense to me. It really started to bother me because deep down I didn't want to believe something. I didn't want to take that responsibility." -Mariah Jones
"I did not believe in God," Mariah says on a 2019 video on her YouTube channel. "I didn't believe in spirituality at all. I thought believing in such things was silly. Basically I was just a strong believer in science." Right after high school, Mariah joined the Navy in 2013. It was in the Navy that she developed anorexia and bulimia. "It grew more and more aggressive as the years went by," she says. Once out of the Navy, she enrolled in college, and she positively relished the science classes which at first affirmed her belief in nothing. "I used to enjoy when people would bring up God so that I could try and destroy their argument with science." she admits. "I would ask them impossible questions that would put them in this awkward position and make it pretty much impossible for them to answer. "I hated when people would talk about Jesus." Her distaste for Christianity was extreme, fueled by the grip of the evil one in her life. "My mentality towards Christians and anyone who was religious was like, You're wasting your entire life trying to live by these impossible standards and these rules that supposedly God created just to go to a place after you die," she says. "I thought religion was a man-made construct that was harmful to people." Then a boomerang struck in 2017 in her second year in college. The same science that in the first year of college affirmed her atheist became the science of the second year of college that undermined her atheism. Specifically, how could biological molecules with astronomical number of atoms all sequenced with confunding minute precision have just come together by chance? she wondered.

Then, as the classes advanced, they deconstructed it. "Having to accept that everything just formed on its own by itself on accident, it didn't make sense to me," Mariah admits. "It really started to bother me because deep down I didn't want to believe something. I didn't want to take that responsibility." Mariah stayed after class and probed professors looking for logical answers. "What came first, was it the blood or was it the heart that pumped the blood?" she quizzed them. "Was it the skin that held it all together or the organs inside the skin? How did nothing turn into something? How did nothing result in intelligent life? How did an explosion result in living breathing loving unique beings?" The professors were of no help with these befuddling questions. So, her mind wandered to the obvious: there had to be an outside agent guiding the process, an external agent with a purpose from another dimension...
