Francis Collins led the Human Genome Project — the reading of the entire human DNA sequence — and later directed America's National Institutes of Health. As a young doctor and atheist he was unsettled by a dying patient's quiet faith and by reading C. S. Lewis, and became a Christian. He founded BioLogos to argue that rigorous science and Christian faith can sit together, and told his story in The Language of God.
