Hi All, 
I am new to the Atheists/rational thinking perspective and new to this forum. I am so excited to be here, I am a recent de-convert from the Christian Religion to Atheism through my study of Astronomy. My de-convert story is rather long winded but I will share the short version.
While studying to be an Astrophysicists I ran across many aspects in science that I was learning about and discovering that the Bible could not support. While I never believed in the literal 24 hour 6 days creation story as set forth in Geniuses, I did believe in God as the creator. I am began to learn more about not only the larger things in the universe but the smaller such and the Quantum Realm and particle physics. As I studied these subjects I began to see the Bible was void on the aspects of scientific support and thus the supposed author (God) as one who could have formed and created all. As the creator of the Universe, I thought the Bible would have said more about the subject. For me this was a huge problems set forth by not only the Bible, but Christianity itself.
Thus, as I studied the about the cosmos and the universe as a whole, both at galactic and particle levels I one day looked up from my textbook and said to myself, "I do not believe in God, I cannot believe in God." Believing in God made obtaining my degree very difficult because I felt that I always had to rationalize what I was learning with the Bible. Till one day I came to the realization that I cannot find my answers in the Bible because the God who wrote it does not exists and the text itself is very much plagiarized from many of the ancient religions who possessed a polytheists view point. I thus found the Bible and religion as a whole to be insufficient in the ability to answer my questions pertaining to science and my passions for the Cosmos.
I am now so thankful to be free of the mental blinds and chains that religion held me in. I am now find that i think more clearly and deeper than I ever have and can now purely enjoy my academic pursuit of my Astrophysics degree. My goal is to one day be a theoretical Astrophysicists for NASA.
thanks you for this forum, I am looking forward to meeting many other free thinkers and engage in intellectual discussions.
So with that I say Hi! and yes, I have been touched by his noodle appendage.

Whatever unseen, no matter how improbable, must be the cause.
