Surprisingly fair treatment of creation vs. evolution issues

As both a scientist and a Christian, I found this treatment of the much-heated debate on creation vs. evolution very fair-minded and enlightening. It is written for the layperson in mind and is very clear in defining the scope for both the realms of science and religion. As a person who has grown weary of the "mud slinging" from both sides of the controversy, I am glad to recommend this book to anyone who is honest with himself and open-minded (believers and non-believers alike!). One criticism, however, is their rather lengthy examples using geology. Since I am trained in molecular biology, this section did not hold my interests as greatly as the other sections. This book helped give me new insights to strengthen both my scientific stand on objective facts and my religious stand on a personal, loving God who created this wondrously complex universe.
