No. Again, I became dissillusioned with our traditional approach to things long before I found better ways of understanding the world. This was part of my problem- one of despair.
When everything I knew to be "right" was suddenly in question I had no alternatives to replace it with. The rug was completely pulled out from under me and my worldview came crashing down.
I did go through a brief period of exploring atheism and modern existentialism. I would describe that as a period of time looking into inky darkness. It wasn't satisfying emotionally or intellectually. Then my readings of people like Stephen Pinker (formerly MIT recently moved to Harvard
"The Blank Slate") and Christian de Dove's (
"Vital Dust") kind of brought me full circle again.
The scientific case for Christianity is there, however the "traditional" apologetics that we have used is deficient. Leaning on "scientific creationism" and the newer Moony funded ID movement (The Discovery Institute) will cause your world to come crashing down as well.
After all of that... In answer to your question, it took science to build up my faith after it was shattered by "some "Pentecostals"".
