Widely respected scientist, Francis Collins, affirms his most recent book, “The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief,” by saying, “I am a scientist and a believer, and I find no conflict between those world views. As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God's language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.”

 

The former atheist came to the conclusion that science did not have the answers to ultimate questions such as “What is the meaning of life?” “Why am I here?” “Why does mathematics work, anyway?” He had come to, a moment of truth.”

 

Collins came to see that the plausibility of the existence of God could be built on purely rational grounds. Of course, He embraced Christ by faith as God opened his heart by way of revelation. He still holds to theistic evolution, but that too will fall away given enough time.

 

Albert Einstein once said the typical Christian’s view of God was too small and that’s what kept him from believing. In Collins’ case, the truth he saw in the human genome had an opposite affect by the working of God’s grace. There is no conflict between faith and science. The issue is whether or not one has eyes to see.

 

The heavens declare the glory of God; can you see it?
