Synopsis

Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book 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?

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'To balance formidable standard-bearers like [Richard] Dawkins, we seek those who possess religious conviction but also scientific achievements to credibly argue the widespread hope that science and God are in harmony - that, indeed, science is of God . . . Foremost of those arguing for common ground is Francis Collins'
Time magazine

'Athough Collins' purpose is grand, his manner is modest and his prose clear, as befits a man more concerned with sharing his views on the nature of things than with displaying his ego' Washington Post
'A remarkable book . . . Compelling reading for anyone reflecting on the relation of science and faith' Alister E. McGrath, author of Dawkins' God
'Timely and incisive. Collins shows how our understanding of evolution, far from standing in the way of faith, reveals a universe of ever greater ingenuity and subtlety' Paul Davies, author of How to Build a Time Machine
