DNA is STILL a problem for evolution!
I have great respect for Francis Collins as a man, a scientist, and a Christian. I agree with his main point that religion and science are indeed "overlapping magisteria", that you can be religious and scientific at the same time with no conflict....

Language of God is for Everyone-"Science 101"
The title says it all. We are all searching for God in one way or another. Some to believe and some to disbelieve. This book takes us on the scientific journey of the decoding of the human genome and makes it understandable for all. AND, OUR...

Consider it...
In Collins' opinion the opposition to evolution, whether the biblical literalism of creationists or intelligent design arguments, undermines the credibility of faith. He finds the first fundamentally flawed and warns that the second builds upon...

A little misleading, but still excellent!
This book really doesn't give much evidence for belief, but Collins does do a terrific job of explaining why there is absolutely no conflict between belief in God and science. He shows how a believer can and should believe in the truths of...

Worth reading, but not orthodox
Language of God is an interesting read from one of the world's most prestigious scientists. He recounts his own conversion from agnosticism to theism, and goes on to examine how a personal creator accords with the findings of science. This book...

OMG! Not evolution again!?
I enjoyed The Language of God, by Francis Collins, the head of the US government's part of Genome project that unravelled the genetic blueprint of humanity. But I'm afraid I did not like the book for the reasons Collins seemed to be hoping for....

shame
