"Collins was an atheist until the age of 27....He decided to visit a Methodist minister and was given a copy of C S Lewis’s Mere Christianity, which argues that God is a rational possibility. The book transformed his life"

Collins is in his late 50's. So the Genome project had nothing to do with his religious conversion as is hinted at in the article. That is important, many people including scientists are believers, so what. The headline of this makes people think that research on the Genome had some special import for him.

that God is a rational possibility. The book transformed his life"


Transformed it ONLY to an extent - God is a possibility and faith may not be emotional. He's got much more 'transforming' to go. He may believe there is a God but not in the WORDS of God, The Creator.
