Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of
the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the
study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable
faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable?
In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to
faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern
science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed,
reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is
essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest
questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what
does life mean?
Does science necessarily undermine faith in God? Or could it
actually support faith? Beyond the flashpoint debates over the
teaching of evolution, or stem-cell research, most of us struggle
with contradictions concerning life's ultimate question. We know
that accidents happen, but we believe we are on earth for a reason.
Until now, most scientists have argued that science and faith
occupy distinct arenas. Francis Collins, a former atheist as a
science student who converted to faith as he became a doctor, is
about to change that. Collins's faith in God has been confirmed and
enhanced by the revolutionary discoveries in biology that he has
helped to oversee. He has absorbed the arguments for atheism of
many scientists and pundits, and he can refute them. Darwinian
evolution occurs, yet, as he explains, it cannot fully explain
human nature -- evolution can and must be directed by God. He
offers an inspiring tour of the human genome to show the miraculous
nature of God's instruction book. Sure to be compared with C.S.
Lewis's Mere Christianity, this is a stunning document, whether you
are a believer, a seeker, or an atheist.
