Simon & Schuster The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief

Deepened my understanding of how science and faith can be reconciled. This was the fastest I ever read a book - I couldn't stop reading it.

Excellent story, science made easy to understand.Highly recommended

Good book.

One of the big issues of our day is the science/faith debate, recently reignited by Richard Dawkins in his bestseller The God Delusion. A number of writers have responded to Dawkins' claims about the incompatibility of science and religious faith (John Lennox's God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? is particularly helpful).But The Language of God is a bit different. It's not so much a direct response to Dawkins as the reflections of a top scientist who is also a Christian believer. As director of the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins is unquestionably one of the leading scientists of his generation.He gives a personal account of why he moved from atheism to Christianity, along the way offering pointers from human nature and the physical world towards the existence of God, with a particular debt to the non-fiction writings of CS Lewis. As a committed evolutionist (a `theistic evolutionist', in his words), he also explains why he has so little time for Creationism and - perhaps more surprisingly - the Intelligent Design movement.This is a thoughtful, passionate book by a man overflowing with enthusiasm about both science and faith, and full of illuminating ideas about how the two fit together. And it's surprisingly readable: people not trained in science, philosophy or theology will have no problem getting through it. Quite simply, one of the most interesting books I've ever read.

The product as expected arrived on time. Looks as expected.
