I want to recommend reading this article about Francis S. Collins which appeared in the New York Times Sunday Book Review section. I simply thought that the article goes well with the topics on this blog, Arango’s Apologetics Page. In case you may not know him, “Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. is the former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). On August 17, 2009 he was sworn in as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.genome.gov/10000779).”
Collins was asked the following question: what book has had the greatest impact on you? His answer to the question was the following: "As an atheist evolving to agnosticism, and seeking answers to whether or not belief in God is potentially rational, my life was turned upside down 35 years ago by reading C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity.” I recommend reading the entire article, as well as reading up on Francis S. Collins, and some of the projects which he is involved in. The link to the article I mentioned is below, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
