Very well-structured and approachable, rich in relevant examples。This is author's own experience with faith and science so often it reads a bit memoir-ish, But overall, it's a collection of insights that he considers valuable。 Although I found a lot to agree in this book, I also had points of disagreement。 That, of course, doesn't really take away from the book as I found both valuable, the latter perhaps even more so as it helped me figure out where I stand on some issues。 Most passages were di Very well-structured and approachable, rich in relevant examples。This is author's own experience with faith and science so often it reads a bit memoir-ish, But overall, it's a collection of insights that he considers valuable。 Although I found a lot to agree in this book, I also had points of disagreement。 That, of course, doesn't really take away from the book as I found both valuable, the latter perhaps even more so as it helped me figure out where I stand on some issues。 Most passages were discussion-worthy and ignited me to ponder on the subject matter which I always appreciate。Similarly, as truth is bigger than proof, I think faith is bigger than God or religion。 Therefore, I don't think atheism and faith are mutually exclusive。 With the risk of sounding nit-picky, I don't think faith and religion are interchangeable words, and although I didn't necessarily get the impression that the author thinks that I would have appreciated less ambiguity with the use of these two。I'm not sure I’m the right audience for this book。 Personally, I’m not an atheist, and I’m pursuing science, so I don't exactly need evidence for faith and religion and science co-existing。 I think this book would be more beneficial for people who see science and religion as the opposite sides of a spectrum, no matter which side they favour。 From that point of view, I think this book would provide much more food for thought。So, is believing seeing? Even if I did start with favourable notions towards the title, this book convinced me thoroughly。 。。。more
