In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya speaks with Douglas Ell, MIT-trained mathematician, theoretical scientist, attorney, and author of Counting to God. Once a staunch atheist, Douglas shares his compelling journey of reconciling science and faith and how this exploration brought him lasting peace. The conversation dives into DNA as digital code, the profound probabilities of life forming by chance, and how modern scientific discoveries point toward intelligent design. Douglas also opens up about how his faith transformed his relationships, mindset, and overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt torn between logic and belief, this episode offers a fresh perspective that may inspire you to rethink what’s possible.
