Book description
Does science necessarily undermine faith in God? Or could it actually support faith?

Why read it?
2 authors picked The Language Of God as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In my early career, I struggled to connect the scientific pursuits God called me into with my Christian faith. This book shattered that struggle in the best possible way, teaching me that science can help us experience a deeper relationship with the Creator of all things.
This book is considered a classic for good reason. Written by a famed geneticist who has been a leading voice in discourse about faith and science, it does a phenomenal job of explaining genetics, human identity, and modern scientific discovery in light of biblical truth.

From Rachel's list on diving into the Christian faith and science.
Another book that shaped my understanding of science and faith as a young grad student is The Language of God.
It is both a story of a top scientist’s journey to faith as well as an argument for the compatibility of evolution and the Christian faith. In it, Francis Collins makes a passionate yet humble plea for the scientifically minded to reconsider faith, and for the religious-minded to reconsider science.
From Tom's list on why a scientifically-minded person can believe in God.
