This book is written by Dr. Francis Collins who was the head of the Human Genome Project and considered to be one of the world's leading scientist.  The first part of the book is rather interesting as it details his journey from being an agnostic to an atheist to believing in God.  His conversion came when he was a medical student.  An elderly patient asked Dr. Collins what he believed about God and proceeded to share what she believed.  From the challenge he eventually became a believer in God as the supreme being.  For me, the book goes downhill from there as Dr. Collins goes on to share his veiw on the Big Bang thieory which he admits could not have happened without suprnatural intervention but never questions that perhaps it never happened at all.  He also goes on to explain his belief in evolution (macroevolution) but still leaves us with those same unanswered questions regarding the fossil record.  In addition, he has a very skeptical veiw of miracles.  In my estimation, he shrinks God down to a nice size in order to fill the gaps for his scientific mind which is ironic in that he points out the flows in a "God in the gaps" philosophy.

I got bogged down in the second part of the book but I had gleaned enough from the first part to see where he was going.  The book was given to me by a dear friend and I always find it helpful to read books that are outside of my view of things.
