Grew up in a Christian family man and professor of religion when he was trying to prove the existence of God in mathematics, a kick, Jeffrey Lang, who was called (secondary) to argue the evidence; Vtdaig from the Professor and his expulsion from the lesson with a warning.
The young man returned to his home, and when his parents heard the story and the accidental, and said: O Children of Emanuel has.

Says the world of mathematics:
Grew up in a Christian family, but I go when the heart has become an atheist. Finished high school and university levels. And completed master's and doctoral degrees in mathematics. I did not see in Christianity and Judaism is a matter of interest, and finished a doctorate when you wonder: Is this enough?? Do I live in order to obtain this certificate?! What then!
When the professor became a lecturer at a university. One of three Muslim students Cbbp.
