Is God a delusion? Are science and Christian faith incompatible?
Ten scientists tell their stories. There is a popular myth at large
in both modern society and in many churches. According to this myth
science and Christianity have been engaged in a long battle over
the centuries. For many secularists this means that we must embrace
science and reject religion, whilst for some Christians it means
the exact opposite. But are science and Christian faith really in a
conflict? In this book ten respected scientists share their life
stories and their reflections on science and faith. What led them
to become scientists? Why did they embrace Christianity? And how do
they relate their religious beliefs to the science that they do in
the lab? The stories that they tell help us to see that when it
comes to answering some of 'life's big questions' we do well to
listen for the insights from both science and faith. Contributors
include: Dr Francis Collins, Professor Alister McGrath, Dr Ard
Louis, Dr Jennifer Wiseman, Professor Bill Newsome, Rev Dr John
Polkinghorn, Rev Dr Alasdair Coles, Dr Deborah B. Haarsma,
Professor Rosalind Picard, Professor John Bryant. 'The level of
human insight matching scientific expertise in these chapters is
high, and they have left me feeling that here are folk with whom,
as a mere theologian, I would love to spend some time. I hope other
readers will enjoy this set of testimonies as much as I have done.'
- Professor J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada 'Just
the book to give to anyone who thinks science disproves religion.
Powerful testimonies from ten distinguished scientists reveal why
their faith in God enhances their research. A very worthwhile
read!' - Professor Gordon Wenham, Trinity College, Bristol, UK
'These short, readable accounts by ten scientists are a pleasure to
read and an inspiration to anyone who seeks to integrate Christian
belief and science. Each one is a specialist in a different
scientific discipline, and they tell very different life stories,
yet they all affirm the Christian privilege of scientific discovery
and understanding.' - Professor Keith Fox, School of Biological
Sciences, University of Southampton, and Chair of Christians in
Science 'Brilliantly demonstrates that science and Christianity are
not enemies but perfectly compatible.' - Dr Krish Kandiah,
Evangelical Alliance
