Salon has a great piece on Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, and the role that his Evangelical Christianity plays in his science [hat tip Ezra].

Collins is a well respected scientist and a perfect example of how faith and science do not have to be in conflict:

Collins hopes to stake out the middle ground between Darwinian atheists and religious fundamentalists. "Both of these extremes don't stand up to logic, and yet they have occupied the stage," he told me. "We cannot let either side win." Unlike so many of those players most invested in this culture war, Collins sees no inherent conflict between science and religion.

Go read the article...it is worth it.
