PRAISE THE GOOD LORD x0x0 

I find it ironic to look at the polemic reviews because it reflects the division in opinions which Collins addresses on several occasions. I realize that some people find there to be a lack of evidence pertaining to Religion, but in reality, as Collins addresses multiple times, religion is the evidence of the spiritual world. The Language of God is not an easy read by any means, but for the inquisitive mind it is absolutely fascinating. The novel encourages the reader to not only think for themselves, but also pushes him or her to find a deeper understanding in the two subjects. While one does not have to agree with Collins, he does make some very compelling points that I believe should be at least considered today. Especially since society continues to move in two opposite directions away from moderate secularism towards the polar extremities. 

  First, a comment on Dr. Collins himself:
  Dr. Francis Collins, prestigious scientist and DNA researcher, was appointed to a top medical position. Dr. Collins is the new (2009) Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) appointed by President Barack Obama.[i], and confirmed by unanimity (imagine that in 2009!) by the US Senate. Dr. Collins had been the first director of the program which became the actual new institute, one the daughter institutes, the one devoted to the human genome.
  We, devoted biologists who at the same time believe in God are in very good company, as it is the case with other serious scientists believers in God. Dr. Collins is such a scientist and evangelist, of course. However, and as it is nowadays, his appointment curiously created waves of concern amongst both extreme sides of the issue: both the atheist scientists and fundamentalist zealots, in unison for only once, protested.[ii]
  The team of masterful scientists who believed and believe in God, includes many famous names of God-believers, such as "Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, Pascal, Planck, Kelvin, Maxwell, Pasteur, Mendel, Boyle and Polkinghorne" and maybe even Einstein; and others.[iii]
  Francis Collins (1950 -) titled the book, his literary masterpiece, The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief (Edición original en Inglés) / “Como Habla Dios? / La evidencia científica de la fe (Edición en Español). Dr. Collins considers then that DNA, deoxy-ribonucleic acid, the powerful helicoid molecule and basis of genetics, is an inescapable evidence of the presence of God in biology.

Not a bad read from a brilliant man. I was however bummed I didn't find more scientific information on the Human Genome and how that more related to the overwhelming complexity of life. He touched on a few things but not what I was expecting. He did however take plenty of time to explain why he believed in Theistic Evolution or as he called it Biologos. Though I do not fully agree with the good scientist here I appreciated the depth he went into on his particular views. Worth the read no matter where you stand on the debate for the existence of God 

Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is exploring in The Language of God how he personally came to understand both science and faith as two compatible domains. It is written in a very accessible language and it bodes for a quick read. On the flip side, if it were not for its mass appeal, Collins might have been a little more detailed and exhaustive about his arguments in order to satisfy the more well versed readers about how both science and faith can coexist. It is nevertheless a worthwhile read.

I have read most of this book and it puts science and the bible is a great context. I was wondering "where the dianasors" came from and many other historical things. This puts them in a great light

Collins makes logical arguments in favor of Roman Catholicism in a straightforward fashion, and despite the obvious logical fallacies therein (e.g. false dichotomy), readers can enjoy a narrative of the author's journey and conversion.

This is an awesome book!
I suggest that everyone from all religions reads this book. It's very interesting and addresses issues of conflict between Science and Theism. I gave it a four because I think it focuses on the human genome too much. However, this is probably reasonable because that is the authors area of expertise.
