I just watched a Charlie Rose episode from earlier in the week where 20 minutes was dedicated to an interview with Francis Collins. Francis is a really interesting and eloquent person. He was raised without faith as an agnostic. As a collegiate scientist, he actually moved towards atheism. Later, his scientific beliefs pushed him towards spirituality and he is now a devout Christian who happens to be one of the chief scientists on the Human Genome Project. I liked the language he was using to describe his beliefs on the show and the book certainly seems to have a great premise. It might be an interesting read.

Interesting. I always love a good Kay Graham story. I also like his takes on scorecards and U2.
