It's Mind Change Monday!
Today, we have a special guest! Dr. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award–winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an Atheist―until science changed his mind. Once of the opinion that people of faith are weak, small-minded folks who just don’t understand science, Dr. Guillen ultimately concluded that not only does science itself depend on faith, but faith is actually the mightiest power in the universe.
Book mentioned: Let Creation Speak!: 100 Invitations to Awe and Wonder by Dr. Michael Guillen
From Amazon:
Is the universe more than just a cosmic accident? Is there more to life than the daily grind? Is it possible you have a divine purpose?
Yes, yes, and yes. Everything around us is striking evidence that God exists, that he once appeared in human form, spoke to us directly and made us for a specific purpose. Wherever you are in life—whether you’re a person of faith, a skeptic, or something else—this book is an invitation to find and embrace the radiant, resilient, relevant person you were created to be.

-The infinite size of the universe
-Unusual numbers we see in nature
-A sperm whale’s super-powerful voice
-Symbiotic relationships that make coral beds possible
-The wily, carnivorous Venus flytrap
-The bird with the longest wingspan—the wandering albatross
