📘 The Language of God by Francis S. Collins

With a distinguished career in genetics and a personal journey from atheism to faith, Dr. Francis Collins presents a compelling case that God’s creative power can coexist with the scientific method. He explains how the evidence for common descent, distilled from the Human Genome Project, supports rather than undermines biblical revelation. Ranging from discussions of Intelligent Design to reflections on the nature of prayer, the book invites readers of all backgrounds to consider how science and religion can together illuminate questions about creation, purpose, and the human experience.

📘 Nature, human nature, and God

by Ian G. Barbour

"Ian Barbour offers analyses of the shape and import of evolutionary theory, indeterminacy, neuroscience, information theory, and artificial intelligence. He also addresses deeper philosophical issues and the idea of nature itself. Then Barbour advances to the interconnected religious questions at the core of contemporary debate: Are humans free? Does religion itself evolve? Are we immortal? Is God omnipotent? How does God act in nature?". "Barbour's work offers hope that newer religious insights and imperatives occasioned by deep interaction with science can address the environmental and global challenges posed by the relentless advance of science."--BOOK JACKET.
