The God Delusion

A debate between Richard Dawkins and Francis Collins.
Richard Dawkins - Author of "The God Delusion"attacks faith philosophically and historically as well as scientifically, but leans heavily on Darwinian theory.

Francis Collins - Author of the "The Language of God" . Collins' devotion to genetics is, if possible, greater than Dawkins'. Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute since 1993, he headed a multinational 2,400-scientist team that co-mapped the 3 billion biochemical letters of our genetic blueprint. He is also a forthright Christian who converted from atheism at age 27 and now finds time to advise young evangelical scientists on how to declare their faith in science's largely agnostic upper reaches

The Language of God - Francis S. Collins

The Language of God - Francis S. Collins

I am reading this book now, and will try to post some of the parts that really caught my attention.

In the introduction Bill Clinton said , " Without doubt , this is the most important, most wondruos map ever produced by humankind." But the part of his speech that most attracted public attention jumped from the scientific perspective to the spiritual. "Today", he said, "we are learning the language in which God created life. We are gaining even more awe for the complexity, the beauty, and the wonder of God's devine and sacred gift."

Francis Collin said, "It's a happy day for the world. It is humbling for me, and awe-inspiring, to realize that we have caught the first glimpse of our own instruction book, previously known only to God.
