About This Book
Is God a delusion? Are science and Christian faith incompatible? Ten scientists tell their stories.There is a popular myth at large in both modern society and in many churches. According to this myth, science and Christianity have been engaged in a long battle over the centuries. For many secularists this means that we must embrace science and reject religion, whilst for some Christians it means the exact opposite. But are science and Christian faith really in conflict? In this book ten respected scientists share their life stories and their reflections on science and faith. What led them to become scientists? Why did they embrace Christianity? And how do they relate their religious beliefs to the science that they do in the lab? The stories that they tell help us to see that when it comes to answering some of "life's big questions" we do well to listen for the insights from both science and faith.Samples and DVD trailer at www.testofaith.comContributorsDr Francis Collins, Former Director, Human Genome ProjectRevd Dr Alasdair Coles, Cambridge University and St Andrews Church, CambridgeDr Jennifer Wiseman, Astrophysicist, NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterProf. John Bryant, Professor Emeritus of Cell and Molecular Biology, Exeter UniversityProf. Bill Newsome, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of MedicineProf. Rosalind Picard, Professor of Media Arts & Sciences, MITDr Ard Louis, The Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, Oxford UniversityRevd Dr John Polkinghorne, Former President of Queens' College, CambridgeDr Deborah B.
