Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God and scripture. Dr. Collins has resolved the dilemma that haunts everyone who believes in God and respects science. Faith in God and faith in science can be harmonious, not separately but together, combined into one worldview. For Collins, science does not conflict with the Bible, science enhances it.

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

An inspiring new perspective on the science versus religion debate. Can science explain everything? Many people think so. Science, and the technologies it has spawned, has delivered so much to the world: Clean water; more food; better healthcare; longer life. And we live in a time of rapid scientific progress that holds enormous promise for many of the problems we face as humankind. So much so, in fact, that many see no need or use for religion and belief systems that offer us answers to the mysteries of our universe. Science has explained it, they assume. Religion is redundant.

Science definitely gives faith a boost as new findings emerge about the complexity of our universe. Strobel re-examines the theories that once led him away from God. You'll encounter discoveries from cosmology, DNA research, and human consciousness that present evidence in The Case for a Creator.

Militant atheism is on the rise.

These authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community. In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought.

Publisher's Summary
Is your worldview enlightened enough to accommodate both science and God at the same time?
Dr. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award-winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an atheist ― until science changed his mind. Once of the opinion that people of faith are weak, small-minded folks who just don’t understand science, Dr. Guillen ultimately concluded that not only does science itself depend on faith, but faith is actually the mightiest power in the universe.
In Believing Is Seeing, Dr. Guillen recounts the fascinating story of his journey from atheism to Christianity, citing the latest discoveries in neuroscience, physics, astronomy, and mathematics to pull back the curtain on the mystery of faith as no one ever has.
Is it true that “seeing is believing?” Or is it possible that reality can be perceived most clearly with the eyes of faith ― and that truth is bigger than proof? Let Dr. Guillen be your guide as he brilliantly argues for a large and enlightened worldview consistent with both God and modern science.

Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
Out of all the theistic philosophy books I've read, the first several chapters of this book does a good job of covering the major topics. I thoroughly enjoyed the walkthroughs of classical and modern logic to explain the philosophy behind truth and how it applies to theists and atheists alike. Long before I read this book it was the one of the arguments that had the greatest impacts on me and I enjoyed its presentation here as well. The author's personal story was interesting and relatable to the subject and made the book feel more human. I relate greatly to other scientists/engineers who find a deep connection between their work and their spirituality, having gone through a similar transformation myself.
However, the narrative took a nose dive at the beginning of the final chapter in a ramble against transgenderism, tolerance, cancel culture, and "post truthers". I call it a ramble, unlike the other genuine arguments in this book, because it does none of the work to encapsulate the discussion and address the supportive points of view that are in contrast to those of the author. In fact, it completely avoids discussing it by simply describing the climate as "red hot" after spending paragraphs alluding to it as 'delusional' and comparing it to a child in a costume pretending to be superman. It was extremely disappointing to see that the logic and arguments used in the rest of the book were completely dropped at this ideological stumbling point in favor for a dogma that isn't substantiated by the previous arguments and thought experiments. Earlier, the author takes great care to express that he believes the faith of the apostles and martyrs of Christianity because they suffered and died for their beliefs, and that people do not do so for things they know are false. The same can be said for transgender people. They suffer at the hands of the prejudiced, are disowned and evicted by their families, and they have one of the highest rates of suicide in the United States due to how they are treated. Despite this, transgender people will still live according to their beliefs because living any other way would be a lie for them. I wish I could explain why the author's basis for rejecting transgenderism is wrong, but he never actually explains it. If he believes it is a choice, then he fails to support his own arguments based on the inherent suffering of the transgender community that he used to justify Christian martyrs. If he believes it to be a mental illness, he does the ethical and moral malpractice of failing to treat it with compassion and understanding. I would argue that the author's stance against "post truthers" doesn't make him a 'truther', it makes him pre-truth. In his argument against what he portrays as an unsubstantiated extremist view, he has accepted one of his own.
A disappointing end to an otherwise interesting book. I wish it didn't take so much away from the previous chapters, but this subject is used to introduce and outline the author's concluding arguments. The tone of the book changes and it sticks out like a sore thumb, almost antithetical to much of the previous themes. Perhaps it serves as a poignant warning that, in our enthusiasm for things that are good, we can accidentally smuggle in things that are bad due to peripheral blindness and association.

Totally worthwhile
Ever feel like the world is just a ball of confusion? The author details how his quest for truth started with pursuit of 3 doctorate degrees that if nothing else left him with more questions and confusion. Then came the discovery that truth is not limited to a scientific worldview. The implications are truly profound individually and collectively. He discovers what many before have discovered about the reality of God, but with his deeply scientific background comes to the conclusion that "believing is seeing". Also explains how everything involves faith, not just religious beliefs. Written concisely and narrated clearly; part historical, biographical, analytical, and contemporary. Provocative.The book ends with an invitation to seek truth not just by study but also by faith.

Simply Amazing
Just finished Amazing Truths for the first time a week ago. PERFECT follow up is Believing is Seeing. Be ready with your dictionary; collegiate level. Don't let that stop you. Dr. Guillen has the unique gift and hard experience as a journalist. Big words always follow easy understanding. Science is followed with biblical reference.
Clearly the big win here is that Dr. Guillen is on Audible and is the reader. Offers huge benefits to the listener. Again, this man is a journalist. His award winning career across the globe is keenly supported by research - research that is easy to understand.
I just ordered (pre-release) the hard copy book. It will be my challenge to take the next listen with the book in hand along with my study notebook.
YUP. Must have in the library AND on your phone.

I appreciate Michael's honesty and vulnerability throughout this book. I'd recommend this to those looking into Christianity, for whatever reason, and current Christians at any point in their walk. He talks a great deal on science, religion and atheism, contrasting them with his life experience.

I’m a loyal listener of Dr. G’s podcast. I love his unpretentious manner, and his way of explaining complex scientific concepts, in a way that us non-scientists can understand. I was hoping the book would be more of the same, and I was not disappointed. I’m going to go back and read (listen to) it again and again.
