I always marvelled at Maxwell equations, General relativity equation, Quantum Field theory equations...
Heck, so few principles/equations and so much they describe. Like some Creator was behind it all. ;)
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

If you do nothing else, pick up these 3 books and read them. Philosophy of Mind, A Beginner's Guide to Aquinas, and The Last Superstition. They're all by the same author, Edward Feser.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

An idiot?...no, he's an atheist. doesn't apply because he has a few doctorates from the Sorbonne and is an editor for a sci-fi magazine. He doesn't earn any money from his job but lives thanks to his wife who goes to work and earns real money. It takes brains to get a woman to support you for 25+ years while you sit at home and do diddly-squat all day long. I'm not that smart. Are you?

Who's the idiot now???
