The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief by Francis S. Collins

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Francis Collins was the head of the Human Genome Project. He is also a practicing Christian.This book is part biographical and part philosophy. It describes how he came to faith from an atheist background and how he does not see this in any way contrary to his work as a scientist.He defends evolutionary biology as compatible with Christian belief and critiques both special creationism and Intelligent Design approaches. He makes a plea for theistic evolution as the way to end the war between science and religion. There is also a helpful appendix on bioethics.
