Language of Science and Faith

This 2011 book has the full title: The Language of Science and Faith: Straight Answers to Genuine Questions. It is authored (with Karl Giberson) by Francis Collins who is also Director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) probably the largest medical science research institution in the world. Here is the brief synopsis for this book written by the staff of one of the most prominent modern scientific journals, Nature. Quote, “For scientists who hold religious beliefs, it can be hard to disentangle the two world views. (Physician)…Geneticist Collins follows on from his…(earlier bestseller)…in which he reconciled his scientific knwoledge with his Christian faith, joining with physicist Giberson to answer questions about Charles Darwin, evolution, and the age of Earth and the Universe. Pointing out that the Bible is not a scientific text, they aim to satisfy the spirtual mainstream while challenging atheists and creationists.” If you were interested in this book, you might also read his earlier NY Times Bestseller, The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief (2006).
