When you start to study and understand brain development as I did, or neuroplasticity or dopamine, you have to, meaning I don't care if you're an atheist, agnostic, or believer in creator, you have to step back and just go.

Dr. Andrew Huberman is one of the world's leading neuroscientists.

He's built his career studying neurons, behavior, and the mechanics of the human brain.

But in a recent conversation that caught my attention, he openly admitted that what he sees in science doesn't push him away from God, it points him toward him.

And when a scientist at that level starts talking about a creator and how that relates to prayer, you have to ask why?

As someone who's been a pastor for over a decade, I want to draw some layers in this conversation because that may not be obvious at first, and

show you why they matter more than you might think.

When you're talking about the brain and all the.

I mean, you mentioned it last night, and this.

It's like when you think how all that works, I have to take an aside and say, how could that happen in nature is without a creator.

I mean, we know that the programs, meaning genes.

So genes, DNA, and there's DNA, then there's rna, and then there's proteins.

And proteins are the action end of the game.

Where they say, hey, like, grow over here, don't grow over there, you know, become this kind of cell, dopamine cell, or a serotonin cell.

We know that those mechanisms are incredibly well conserved from mice to humans.

Now, certain things happen in the human brain that you don't see in other species, like the elaboration of the parts of the brain that are involved in context and planning especially.

But the memory systems, the ones that control hormones, breathing, heart rate, they're very similar.

When you start to study and understand brain development as I did, or neuroplasticity or dopamine, you have to, meaning, I don't care if you're an atheist, agnostic, or believer in creator, you have to step back and just go, wow, wow.

Now then, of course, there's this difference among scientists as to who believes in God, who doesn't.

I'm very comfortable saying I believe in God.

I think there are many things that science can explain.

There are certain things science can't explain.

But I'll even go a step further, which is that all the elements of science are Entirely compatible with the idea of there being a God.

And I'm not the first scientist to say this.

Carl Jung, one of the greatest psychologists ever clearly believed in God.

There are many atheist scientists, there are agnostic scientists who are just kind of like unsure.

And for me, I'm in absolute awe, absolute awe of biology.

We're sitting here having this conversation, it's with language that they're little sound waves that you're perceiving and understanding.

And I think the brain represents the apex of incredible in terms of biology.

Like the heart is interesting, the immune system is interesting, the liver is interesting, but

Yeah, I mean, think about the number of different ways you can move your body compared to another species.

Think about what I was attempting to do today.

Think about technology, these lights, the, you know, Tesla, cars, spaceships.

Andrew Huberman has made the astonishing connection that science points to God and he speaks about it with real awe.

He looks at the brain, the heart, DNA and calls it unbelievable.

But let's slow down and think about what that means.

When you look at your hand, what do you see?

Science says something far more staggering.

Inside every single cell of your body, there's a code.

Not just chemicals, but information, a language.

If you stretched out all the DNA in your body, it wouldn't just reach the moon and back to Earth, it would make that trip about 90,000 times.

All of that information is folded into cells you can't even see.

DNA holds instructions written in a four letter Alphabet that tells your body how to fight sickness, grow a functioning brain, repair wounds and keep your heart beating without you thinking about it.

We've never seen meaningful information arise from nothing.

So when we discover a living system inside every cell that stores and follows detailed instructions more advanced than any software we've ever built, the real question isn't whether science points to a creator.

The real question is why some hesitate to follow where the evidence leads.

If the evidence points this clearly to a creator.

Listen to what Dr. Andrew Huberman says about prayer.

We've got people in Guatemala, Denmark, Argentina, New York, like all the different political battles are in my family.

Super left, super right, libertarians, lefties to the.

But I'll say this, you know, I absolutely pray.

But also what for me is really a deep belief, which is that we can't control everything.

We're not in as much control as we think we are.

And that the magnificence of biology and the magnificence of nature is.

It's impossible for me to conceive how that could come about any other way.

Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, full stop.

That's an interesting one, because I think God.

I've actually started reading the Bible recently, start to finish.

I feel like it's my duty to like, learn and in some sense compare Old and New Testament.

I'm like, really, I'm really interested in the stories, but

I'm also, I'm fascinated by the story of us.

But yeah, I pray out loud in the morning, sometimes again in the middle of the night if I wake up.

And it's only recently that I've been doing this more often.
