The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief is a 2006 book by Francis Collins in which he advocates theistic evolution and describes his conversion to Christianity.

[1][2] Collins is an American physician-geneticist, noted for his discoveries of disease genes, and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP).

He cites many famous thinkers, most prevalently C. S. Lewis, as well as Augustine of Hippo, Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Theodosius Dobzhansky and others.

Moral Law is an argument for the existence of God; Collins quotes C. S. Lewis to describe it: "The denunciation of oppression, murder, treachery, falsehood and the injunction of kindness to the aged, the young, and the weak, almsgiving, impartiality, and honesty."

Furthermore, in some Christian thinking, the eternal and divine Logos merged and synthesized with a human nature to become Jesus Christ in the Incarnation.

[9] Publishers Weekly writes: "This marvelous book combines a personal account of Collins's faith and experiences as a genetics researcher with discussions of more general topics of science and spirituality, especially centering around evolution.

[13] In contrast to Harris' criticisms, physicist Stephen M. Barr writes for First Things that Collins' book is meant to be "the story of how and why he came to believe in God...

Barr concludes that while "so many people on both sides are trying to foment a conflict between science and religion, Collins is a sorely needed voice of reason.
