Welcome home, Mr. Wilson!
The Scales will fall from thier eyes.
Amen
It requires much more faith to be an Atheist than to simply, humbly believe.
That's biblical, for we are told unbelievers have no ears to hear, are spiritually blind, and do not know Love.
The root. If there is no right and wrong, then I can kill you, take your stuff, and there's no wrong or guilt to it. This is shear foolishness.
Science.
My uncle went from atheist to Born Again Christian while studying for his PHd in geology.
This story is so famliar to me. I was the same until I honestly sought God. And now atheism sounds so foolish. Professing to be wise, I had become a fool.

Neat!
The problem with most scientists that are atheists is not that they know too much science to believe in God but that they know too little.
Happened to my ex-husband. He is a man of great brilliance, superbly educated at a university famed as a breeding farm for atheists. His own knowledge of his brilliance made him arrogant and created in him a contempt for those who believe. His whole life was built around the premise that there is no God, only what we like and what we don’t like.
Surprise! After years of putting up with his deliberate sin, one day God came up and bopped him on the head. The Lord revealed a portion of His love as a sudden religious experience. It was so overwhelming that X could not even try to explain it away as some kind of neurological event. He is a believer now and it has changed the way he lives and interacts with others. It’s been a beautiful thing to see.
I just wish it had happened a dozen years ago, before our divorce.
“In the opening years of the Twenty-First Century, mainstream science had reached its existential crisis. The tools and techniques of the scientific inquiry had improved to the point where the very fundamentals of the universe could be examined; and as, as the structure and nature of the universe became more and more clear, it began to become obvious that Nature as it was simply could not be reconciled with the base assumption of Nineteenth Century materialism. When examined at their root level, the very mathematics that underlay the physical laws of time and space simply ceased to make sense unless one assumed the existence of an intelligent Lawgiver— and this was the great heresy, the one assumption that the proud materialists simply could not accept.
“But they had no choice. As the first decade of the new millennium waned, men and women of science - the deepest thinkers of the race — were one by one forced to come to the same conclusion: that the Universe was an Artifact, and that somewhere beyond it an Artificier existed. In order to be capable of thinking about anything at all, these apostles of Baconian, materialist science had at last no choice but to admit that Reality was neither a Newtonian machine nor an Einsteinian computer, but a work of art — the product of an artist that men had no choice but to call ‘God’.”
