false 35506 10 Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists. He works at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture. He believes that God cares about us and can intervene in human affairs -- on rare occasions, even miraculously. Collins has personally discovered some of the scientific evidence for the common descent of all living creatures, even though he repudiates the materialist, atheistic worldview argued by many prominent Darwinists.<P><P>In short, Dr. Collins provides a satisfying solution for the dilemma that haunts everyone who believes in God and respects science. Faith in God and faith in science can be harmonious -- combined into one worldview. The God that he believes in is a God who can listen to prayers and cares about our souls. The biological science he has advanced is compatible with such a God. For Collins, science does not conflict with the Bible, science enhances it. <P><P>For many years Dr. Collins kept his views largely to himself, as he helped oversee the Human Genome Project's stunning sequencing of the code of life. Now, in what may be the most important melding of reason and revelation since C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, Dr. Collins explains himself in detail. <I>The Language of God</i> makes the case for God and for science. Dr. Collins considers and rejects several positions along the spectrum from atheism to young-earth creationism -- including agnosticism and Intelligent Design. Instead, he proposes a new synthesis, a new way to think about an active, caring God who created humankind through evolutionary processes. <P><P>He has heard every argument against faith from scientists, and he can refute them. He has also heard the needless rejection of scientific truths by some people of faith, and he can counter that, too. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes readers on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible. <I>The Language of God</i> 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?<P><P> 1052946 11 7 2006 The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief total:724|5:184|4:272|3:188|2:59|1:21| 724 2711 1407 234 5 5 true false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 12 12:55:26 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 09:45:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 5 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 12:53:07 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 13:31:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 3 false false Thu Jun 21 06:48:03 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 25 09:56:02 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Mar 28 06:26:41 -0700 2007 Wed Mar 28 06:31:08 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 27 06:42:30 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 28 08:35:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Feb 19 00:35:31 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 00:49:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 22:10:52 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 09:19:40 -0700 2008
