Hannah Christine-Fell sits down with Ganesh "Geeves" Venkataramanan, Chemical Engineer, Ex-Athiest, and Author. Growing up in Southern India, Ganesh understood from an early age the expectations placed upon him and his family. Born into the Brahmin caste with a name honoring one of Hinduism’s gods, Ganesh was raised with a respect for his ancestral faith and an understanding that education, science, and intellectual achievement would play a significant role in his future. But as Ganesh grew older, so did his questions. The Hindu beliefs he had inherited began to collide with his growing curiosity and desire for answers. By the time he entered college to study chemical engineering, Ganesh had made a radical decision: to abandon the religion of his ancestors and embrace atheism, placing his confidence in science and reason rather than the existence of God. Yet, despite his newfound beliefs, the questions never completely disappeared. Throughout his college years, Ganesh encountered successful entrepreneurs and brilliant scientists who openly professed their faith in Jesus Christ. Perplexed by how such intelligent, accomplished men could place their trust in what he considered a “crude” religion, Ganesh set out on a mission—not to discover Christianity’s truth, but to disprove it. Convinced that dismantling the historical reality of Jesus’ crucifixion would unravel the very foundation of Christianity, Ganesh began investigating the historical reliability of the Bible. But what started as an effort to discredit Christianity became a journey that would challenge everything he thought he knew. Armed with a mind trained in mathematics, science, and critical thinking, Ganesh discovered something he never expected: a faith that not only welcomed difficult questions but offered compelling answers. Today, Ganesh is a follower of Jesus Christ and an author who shares his journey of discovering the one true God through the lens of science, reason, and historical evidence. Join us on The Repurposed Podcast as we journey through Ganesh’s remarkable story—from his childhood in Hinduism and his years as a committed atheist to an unexpected encounter with the truth of Jesus Christ. It’s a conversation about the pursuit of truth, the intersection of faith and science, and how a mission to disprove God ultimately led one man to believe in Him.
