Sincere yet challenging questions like this are always welcome in the Bible studies led by Bob & Susie Lawton, who minister to international students, scholars and researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.

Some have little or no knowledge of spiritual things. Susie recently was teaching a girl who had never heard of God.

Meanwhile, others are slowly gaining a better understanding of the gospel.  At a Fourth of July celebration, one researcher who has not openly made a profession of faith nonetheless shared publicly that often in the laboratory a scientist will reach a dead end and be unable to proceed.  In desperation she calls out to God in prayer for help, and God answers!
