Description: Taking Johannes Kepler as his guide, Gingerich argues that an individual can be both a creative scientist and a believer in divine design--that indeed the very motivation for scientific research can derive from a desire to trace God's handiwork.
Brief description: Owen Gingerich was Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and of the History of Science at Harvard University and a senior astronomer emeritus at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
Review Quotes: This little book--intelligent, provocative, and respectful of a range of views--shows how a modern scientist can support both evolution and intelligent design and, more generally, offers a meeting place for science and religion.--Alan Lightman
