About this title: 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 ...

"Collins covers much of the same ground covered by Kenneth Miller's books (plus some unique additions), but in a simpler format and a quicker read, and with a gentler tone. Collins' conclusions are both well-reasoned and heartfelt, underscoring the confidence we can place in both science and religion. Highly reccommended for those seeking an understandable, balanced, and fairly comprehensive introduction to important questions at the science-religion interface."
"Francis S Collins is one of the country's leading geneticists and the longtime leader of the Human Genome Project. He went from agnostic to atheist to believer. I gained a greater understanding of the creation of the universe, evolution and the bioethics of current medical and genetic research. I learned more about why the science of evolution is not in conflict with faith in God. It is very readable though I admit I didn't understand all the technical scientific terminology--I am at least familiar with it and the various controversies he explains. Excellent information for those who are learning about all the sciences and are confused about how it fits in with their faith in God."
"This book I read and re-read from it. It just blows your mind that an atheist and eminent scientist came to believe in God, just by coming to understanding how God created men. This author, who incidentally, is the Director of the Human Genome Project, can refute every argument against faith, against God; he also takes you through his own journey from atheism to faith and to his complete understanding that faith in science and faith in God are compatible. Incredible book for the open-minded on both sides of the faith spectrum."
