There is an episode from one of my favorite TV shows, Young Sheldon, a show about the life of a child mathematical genius and future theoretical physicist. Everything in his mind is based on patterns, percentages, and results, and growing up in a religious household, he would always be opposed to the belief of God, saying that science is the only reasonable thing that can explain our universe’s function today. His mother, Mary Sheldon, was very devoted to convincing him to start believing, however he would never budge. In this particular episode, Mary starts to lose her faith in God, after hearing a sixteen year old girl in the congregation dies in an accident. Sheldon notices this after she does not say grace before eating her dinner, visibly emotional. Sheldon then has a long talk with her, explaining the perfection of gravity. “Did you know that if gravity were slightly more powerful, the universe would collapse into a ball? And if it were slightly less powerful the universe would fly apart and there would be no stars or planets? And if the electromagnetic force wasn’t 1%, life wouldn’t exist? So what are the odds that would happen all by itself?” Sheldon proceeded to use science to explain and help both himself and his mother to believe in God. Science is surrounded by perfect design; the reason why I love biology so much is because fathoming the billions of parts a living thing uses to emerge, reproduce, and sustain itself is beautifully daunting. Everything being perfectly structured and set into place is magic that only a higher power would have the ability to create. The acknowledgement of my existence is also why I believe in God. God selected me to be born on this earth and have the chance to live in His creation, the probability of that being 1 in 400 trillion. God allowed my mother to escape a genocide that killed hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of a month and helped her safely travel to a different country to give her a better life. God allowed her the chance to have me and my brother and start our family. God saved my father and allowed him to survive a gunshot wound, allowing me to be with him for many more years to come. God gave me the intelligence to read at the age of 2, allowing me to carry this knowledge and get an acceptance to an esteemed private school to enrich my education. When I doubted my presence, having imposter syndrome at said school, He gave me the strength to put in the extra effort and hours into my schoolwork. In my senior year, when I received bad news from colleges, I was redirected by Him and got into one of my top choices, Spelman College, the #1 HBCU in the Country, now realizing he had led me on that college path 3 years ago. From being protected from harmful situations and surviving them to letting one door close and another open in my life, the patterns set in stone for us are because of God, because of a creator. With this, He affirms my belief in STEM and the development of it, because He guides us to improve his world as well as help others with the knowledge we obtain. Our reality is a fine balance, and the fact that it has been designed to perfection is evidence in itself that there is a creator and it is God. In Sheldon's words, “The precision of the universe makes it logical to conclude a creator.”
