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

This hardback has just been released written by the man who is in charge of the human genome project. You may have heard it referred to as the mapping of man's DNA.

It was #5 in sales yesterday on Amazon.

Collins feels that, within DNA, there is the proof that life is not random but that some higher intelligence must drive it. He doesn't reject evolution in favor of intelligent design or creationism but he does reject the concept of randomness. And he feels that the idea of Moral Law found around the world is further proof that man is driven by more than some evolutionary consequence.

His awakening to Christianity came about after reading C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity.

Here is an interesting interview of Collins at PBS.

His interviews are interesting and, although I haven't read this book yet, I do plan to in order to see a truly brilliant scientist's perspective on his spirituality.
