Very interesting book. I am enjoying it. I also like shopping on eBay because I am giving an old book a new chance. It's like being an environmentally responsible book worm.

The author is intelligent, sets forth some excellent arguments for the existence of G-d, but my singular problem with the book is simple, he believes man evolved from apes, and continues his argument by saying that the original creation of man was not by the hand and breadth of Adonai, but from the laws established in the earth that allowed for evolution. Is there an argument for the evolution to some degree of animals, plants, yes, but man, no, either he was created in the image and likeness of God, (not physically,) naturally or he was not, the evolution of man destroys that belief completely if you follow his argument on this point.

The author basically believes in God and at the same time he preaches evolution. He discusses and mentions a couple of so called "christian" leaders who believe the same. He also "twists" the scriptures. He is basically being a "politician" with his views. Sorry, if you believe in the bible and the God of the bible and you read the bible accurately, there is no room for evolution. You need to choose.

I highly recommend "The Language of God" by Francis Collins. I enjoyed Dr. Collins personal story and learning more about his work. I also appreciated the way Dr, Collins seeks a faithful understanding of both nature and scripture. His method of integrating his scientific findings with his understanding of the Bible is encouraging and inspiring. I loved it so much that I bought several copies so that I can give them as gifts or lend them to friends.

The writing style is compelling, and the content is presented in a logical progression. Both pro and con arguments are included so material integrity is maintained. The reader is not overwhelmed with difficult words that have to be continually looked up nor do pages have to be frequently reread for understanding. The only problem with the book is the superscript numbers/comments which should be found at the bottom of the page are not there, not at the end of the chapter, nor at the end of the book.
