Former research scientist Fazale 'Fuz' Rana shares how advanced scientific study led him from agnosticism to Christian faith. As an undergraduate, science pushed him toward doubt, but deeper research in biochemistry revealed to him the extraordinary complexity, elegance, and precision of even the simplest living cells. Through decades of laboratory experiments, he says, scientists have consistently failed to demonstrate how life’s essential complex molecules could arise spontaneously through unguided chemical processes. Instead, these experiments require careful planning, intervention, and controlled environments provided by intelligent researchers. Rana describes this contradiction as the 'problem of unwarranted researcher intervention’, highlighting the irony that attempts to prove chemical evolution instead point toward intelligent design. This scientific dilemma raised deeper questions about purpose and origin, ultimately leading him to Scripture. He describes a profound encounter with Jesus through the Sermon on the Mount, recognising his sin and need for salvation through Christ’s sacrifice. Now serving as president and CEO of Reasons to Believe, he seeks to engage sceptics by presenting a robust scientific case for God’s existence and the reliability of the Bible.
Complex molecules could not form alone, scientist says
