When Science Points to God

By Neat Randriamialison

“If science was the thing that ran the world, it wouldn’t break down so much.”

Allison Ogbonna doesn’t say this casually. She says it as a medical scientist who has worked in labs and seen the rules of biology break under pressure. It wasn’t a sermon that shifted her beliefs; it was a slow-burning, question-driven journey through evidence, pain, and the surprising alignment of science with faith.

She wasn’t always a believer.

“I was a full believer in science. I thought science was the antithesis of religion.”

But when her mother showed her The Days of Noah, a documentary exploring the connection between scientific evidence and biblical events, something changed.

“My mind was just blown,” she said.

What followed was late-night research, Bible study sessions with her mom, and a total mental shift.

“We would microscopically read the Bible, break it down, look at root words, and connect verses. That’s how I began to see it differently. The science started pointing to a Designer.”

The more she studied, the more she discovered God, the one who created the universe. The one who holds the universe together.

Now, she’s a member of West Jordan Seventh-day Adventist Church, the church her mom attends. And she’s not on the sidelines.

“I didn’t want to just be ‘Tina’s daughter.’ I wanted this to be my church, too.”

So she helped launch the church’s Evangelism Committee.

“I want us all to be brought together as God’s children, the way He wants us to be.”

She still works in science every day, but now she sees more.

“We say in the lab, ‘The bugs don’t read the book.’ That’s because things don’t always follow the rules. But God can flip things. He can move mountains. And science can’t do that.”

Faith didn’t replace her logic.

It reframed her world.
