Are young scientists changing their minds about God?

[Michie]

Contrary to the prevalent notion that science stands at odds with religion, younger scientists are more open to the concept of a higher spiritual reality, according to a new book.

In “Science at the Doorstep To God: Science and Reason in Support of God, the Soul, and Life After Death,” Father Robert Spitzer, president and co-founder of the Napa Institute, investigates the “scientific evidence substantiating the existence of a transcendent God and explores the influence of modern science on our comprehension of creation—both within the physical universe and the human spirit”.

His research includes the claim that the belief in God or a higher spiritual reality is held by 51 per cent of scientists, which increases to 66 per cent among young scientists.

It’s even higher among physicians specifically, with 76 per cent affirming a belief in God or a higher spiritual reality, and 74 per cent acknowledging the occurrence of miracles in the past and 73 per cent “confirming their belief in ongoing miracles in modern times,” notes the Napa Institute.
