Ming Wang (PhD)

Dr. Ming Wang, a graduate of Harvard and MIT, is an eye surgeon who was one of the first surgeons in the U.S. to perform laser cataract surgery. He has both a PhD and MD degrees. Dr. Wang grew up in an atheist family that believed solely in science. He later became a Christian while a student in college after a professor showed him convincing evidence of the existence of God. Wang's story was captured in the book "God's Not Dead" and served as the inspiration for the character Martin Yip in the movie of the same name. He noted: "I came to know Jesus Christ because I did not find in science the answers to life's questions for which I was searching. Actually, the more I learned about science, the more, not less, evidence I saw of God's creation and design." He also stated: "I have come to realize that faith and science serve two different purposes, they are the two sides of a coin: science is about what things are, and faith is about why things are."
