The Language of God

A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief
Book • 2006
In 'The Language of God,' Francis S. Collins advocates for theistic evolution and describes his conversion to Christianity.

The book addresses the long-held belief that science and faith are mutually exclusive, arguing instead that they can complement each other.

Collins draws on his experiences as a scientist, including his work on the Human Genome Project, and cites influential thinkers like C.S.

Lewis and Augustine of Hippo.

He discusses the concept of Moral Law, the universal human longing for God, and how science and religion can coexist without conflict.

The book also explores the reconciliation of evolutionary theory with Christian beliefs and warns against using God to fill gaps in scientific knowledge.
