THE scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome is to publish a book explaining why he now believes in the existence of God and is convinced that miracles are real.
Francis Collins, the director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute, claims there is a rational basis for a creator and that scientific discoveries bring man ?closer to God?.
?When you make a breakthrough it is a moment of scientific exhilaration because you have been on this search and seem to have found it,? he said. ?But it is also a moment where I at least feel closeness to the creator in the sense of having now perceived something that no human knew before but God knew all along."
During a debate with Richard Dawkins, Collins stated that God is the object of the unanswered questions about the universe that science does not ask, and that God himself does not need an explanation since he is beyond the universe. Dawkins called this "the mother and father of all cop-outs" and "an incredible evasion of the responsibility to explain."
