What we learn from experience de-pends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience. Pg. 40

These lines from chapter 2 and the writer explains that experience is dependent on the belief system of the individual, for example a car accident survivor with belief in God might say that it was God who saved him. Whereas an atheist might say that it was the braking system or his luck that saved him.

Collins book name is Language of God which has a very clear description about God and the book has debate between the Atheistic and agnostic evolution's and mostly it tells about the creationist of Americans.

Chapter 1 is about his whole story which tells that he had no proper schooling and how he himself became a Christian believer by studying different books.

Chapter 2 is about the four different objections to the Hypothesis of God which are:

What is all of the harm which has been done on the name of God?

Idea of God is just a wish fulfillment?

Why God who is so loving would allow people to suffer in the world

How a person who have rational beliefs can believe in the miracles of God?

Chapter 3 is about the origin of this whole world that how it was created. The origin of the world has been discussed in the theory of Big Bang and what things came after this theory. This chapter is good about the issue on “Fine Tuning” for example may different kind of physical constants which includes the force of gravity and the speed of light, all these need to have specific values in order for a stable universe which can sustain complex lives in it.

Chapter 4 have different arguments in it which are about the elegance behind the complexity of life. Writer himself is the one making different arguments about this and how he don’t support the argument.

Chapter 5 tells about the history of the very famous project which is called as human genome project. Writer in this chapter describes that viewing and then denying the evolutionary theory is considered to be a very untenable position in the field of genetic science.

Chapter 6 is all about the debate related to evolutionist and creationism in the USA. Writer endorses Augustine’s remarks in the light of science. Augustine is a writer who states that Genesis is a process which didn’t have to be literally interpreted and then he thought for the Christians that it is totally unwise to adopt themselves to a rigid stand which can undermine the progress in the knowledge.

Chapter 7 describes about the historical rise of all the militant atheism. They suggests that science is a field which demands atheism. Writer himself outlines three main contentions of the Dawkins and then rebuts them.

And so I gradually shifted from agnosticism to atheism. Pg. 16

These lines lay the foundation of the basis of the book in which Collin describes his journey from what he refers, darkness to the light. The sentence of this chapter 1 tells that how he completed his journey from agnosticism to belief in God. He had no proper schooling and had no clear concept of God but then after studying he started to belief in the God.
