This article isn't to bash ideas or science, but to encourage those who are having their faith shook because of them. In these classes, the ideas of the Big Bang, being made of stardust, human evolution, and every other scientific idea was proposed. Stars, mountains, families, galaxies, religion, oceans, and everything in between, is difficult to wrap my mind around. I find it so valuable to learn about this universe, the world, and people of every walk of life. They make you take a step back and reconsider.

It seemed like all odds were put against me as three of my professors and classes were challenging what I believed about literally everything. and seems to have worlds of knowledge, but they clearly disapprove of what you believe, it can rock your world. I have never had a reason to question my faith, until questions were posed to me that made me discover a new level of faith.
