Religion: A Bad Prescription for America

Francis Collins is one of the most prominent and influential scientists of our era.

He has done pioneering research in medical genetics and led the Human Genome Project .

What sets him apart from many of his scientific peers, however, is his fervent embrace of religion.

He argues that science and religion are perfectly compatible and even represent complementary ways to discover truths.

The Language of God , by Richard Greene , is published by The New York Reviewer .

Greene argues that religion is a source of truth just as valid as science as science.

He says the book is unconvincing on the fact’ of Jesus ’s resurrection and the “moral truths” that one finds in religion are moral truths’ and falsehoods’.

The author of a new book, The Road to Wisdom , argues that Christianity is true because to him it tells a more appealing story than that proffered by other faiths.

He says religion is not a source of truth and cannot produce reliable facts about nature that can be used to repair a divided populace.
