<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Scientists Collins and Giberson show how to embrace both science and faith without compromising either. Their fascinating treatment explains how God cares for and interacts with His creation while science offers a reliable way to understand the world He made.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Christians affirm that everything exists because of God--from subatomic quarks to black holes. Science often claims to explain nature without including God at all. And thinking Christians often feel forced to choose between the two. But the good news is that we don't have to make a choice. Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of <em>The Language of God, </em> along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. Their fascinating treatment explains how God cares for and interacts with his creation while science offers a reliable way to understand the world he made. Together they clearly answer dozens of the most common questions people ask about Darwin, evolution, the age of the earth, the Bible, the existence of God and our finely tuned universe. They also consider how their views stack up against the new atheists as well as against creationists and adherents of intelligent design. The authors disentangle the false conclusions of Christians and atheists alike about science and evolution from the actual results of research in astronomy, physics, geology and genetics. In its place they find a story of the grandeur and beauty of a world made by a supremely creative God.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>After all the shouting in this science/religion conflict, I appreciated the calm, respectful tone that characterizes <em>The Language of Science and Faith</em>.</p>--LeRoy Lawson, Christian Standard, September 2012<br><br><p>In this informative and accessible book, [Giberson and Collins] answer many questions about evolution and its relation to Christian faith.</p>--The Christian Century, May 2, 2012<br><br><p>The authors disentangle the false conclusions of Christians and atheists alike about science and evolution from the actual results of research in astronomy, physics, geology and genetics.

In this context, I heartily recommend <em>The Language of Science and Faith</em>.</p>--Thomas Jay Oord, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuses, 40(4)<br><br><p>This book will illuminate an under-exposed mind to methods of science oftentimes demonized. If nothing else, <em>The Language of Science and Faith</em> makes a great read and an excellence source of insight into a side of the creation-evolution debate not typically explored by evangelicals.</p>--Cody Hamilton Nygard, The Baptist Standard, August 15, 2011<br><br><p>We need more models like this that show us how to interact with the issues so that we will not continue to hypocritically take advantage of the advances of science while rejecting its foundational theories. Collins and Giberson are humble and gentle guides in this regard.</p>--Amos Yong, The Pneuma Review, Summer 2012<br>
