Things I read recently

Religion and Ethics Newsweekly: Profile of Dr. Francis Collins
"This week's stem cell debate highlighted tensions among science, ethics and religion that seem to be rising on many fronts. Bob Abernethy talked about these tensions with one of the world's leading geneticists -- Dr. Francis Collins, who led the effort to map the human genome. Collins is a research scientist, a medical doctor, and an evangelical Christian. He has written a new book called THE LANGUAGE OF GOD (The Free Press,2006), which he hopes will help bridge some of the gaps between faith and science."
