Summary: An excellent review..
Comment: As someone who's interested both in Science and Religion, I have enjoyed this book tremenodously. It is a purley scientific and unbiased review of many leading scientist's views on the subject of God, the origin of life, and the origin of the universe.
24 of these scientists are Nobel Prize winners. I found it interesting that many of these reputable scientists, by their views, challenge the widely acceptable notion, that Creation is a religeous myth, and the Big Bang/Evolution is the only scientific answer...definetley worth reading.

Summary: one (sort of) agnostic's take on this book
Comment: This book is a thought-provoking collection of essays exploring issues relating to science and theology. Or, in other words, life, the universe, and ... never mind. This book is probably not going to appeal to those with set, rigid, doctrinaire views on either science or religion. Nor is there an effort to convert you to anything, really. The essays are varied, interesting, and you can probably take a lot of different thoughts away from this book. I didn't take it as an attempt to prove that science can or should point to a god. Certainly, a number of the writers recognize that science does not (and cannot) rule out a god. That, in my opinion, is true agnosticism (as applied to both religion and science!). Just as some religions have properly abandoned views inconsistent with provable scientific facts (darn that Galileo!), scientists ought to be willing to discuss and acknowledge the limits of science. Perhaps some scientists critical of this book don't like the same skepticism and desire for proof that they would place on religion being applied to their own domain. Oh well. For those intimidated by any critic's intimations regarding their degrees, for the most part, the essays, while sophisticated, don't require a Ph.D. in physics. I enjoyed this book, it made me think, and that's not bad.

Summary: Excellent Book about the opinions of scientists
Comment: Unlike the other reviewer who missed the point of the book, the authors were only reflecting the views of the scientists questioned. There is no attempt to prove the existence of God. The book is well written, with high ranking scientists from several fields providing valuable insight into their beliefs.
