The well-known scientist Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, had
been an atheist since the age of 27.
But in later years, Collins would see the “stupendous information” contained in DNA
and turned into a believer, describing why he believed in his book The Language of
God. The book states that there is a logical basis for the existence of a Creator and
that scientific discoveries “draw man closer to God.”
An article in the 11 June, 2006, edition of the Sunday Times, headed “I’ve Found
God, Says Man Who Cracked the Genome,” read:
One of the great tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that
science and religion have to be at war. I don’t see that as necessary at all and I think
it is deeply disappointing that the shrill voices that occupy the extremes of this spec-
trum have dominated the stage for the past 20 years. When you make a break-
through it is a moment of scientific exhilaration because
you have been on this search and seem to have
found it. But it is also a moment where I at least
feel closeness to the Creator in the sense of hav-
ing now perceived something that no human
knew before but God knew all along. When
you have for the first time in front of
you this 3.1 billion-letter instruction book that
conveys all kinds of information and all
kinds of mystery about humankind, you
can’t survey that going through page
after page without a sense of awe. I
can’t help but look at those pages and
have a vague sense that this is giving
004
me a glimpse of God’s mind.
