I would have loved to have seen this lecture. I've read his book Finding Darwin's God -- it's very clear, convincing and helpful (to me as a Christian).

Me too. I hope he comes and lectures in the Boston area soon. I'd love to go see him.

BTW, he's really nice. I emailed him with a quesiton and he responded the same day. And I'm not a Brown, or even a biology a student!

I also recommend Robert A Millikan's autobiography, as well as his book Science and the New Civilization. Besides being one of the top five or so experimental physicists of the century (I place him third, right below Rutherford and Fermi), Millikan was a staunch conservative Republican and a religious modernist who tried to reconcile his Christian beliefs with modern society, and try to find a role for tradition in the scientific era. Although his writings didn't lead me to a religious awakening, they did help solidify my conservatism.
