Summary/Review: This is a complicated book which I didn’t thoroughly comprehend so I may not be able to justice to it in a review. Nevertheless, it tackles an issue near and dear to me that is how to reconcile the theory of evolution with belief in God. I like the approach that puts aside the false dichotomy of science versus religion even if I don’t understand the science and biology behind it. There’s definitely a core idea that faith should be challenged to be deeper by the truth of evolution rather than denying the science or creating something like intelligent design. Definitely a work worth rereading.
Recommended books: Quarks, Chaos & Christianity: Questions to Science And Religion by John Polkinghorne and Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey by Jane Goodall.
