BOOK OF THE DAY

The Language of God
By: Francis S. Collins

Francis Collins, MD, now the director of the National Institutes of Health, headed the Human Genome Project. He is also a practicing Christian who found reasons for belief in God through his scientific studies. In The Language of God he explains how he came to reject atheism and to believe that religion and science are not opposed, but complementary. In the book's introduction Collins asks, "Aren't the scientific and spiritual worldviews antithetical, or shouldn't they at least avoid appearing in the East Room [of the White House] together?" He answers "No," and, focusing mainly on the origins of the universe and on evolution, he explains why. Both believers and scientists will find much food for thought here.
