User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Dr. Clayton is a phenomenal speaker. When in his presence, you cannot help but become inspired and intrigued with life itself. In this book, he offers his true self… as if sitting with him in the lecture hall. In addition, this – in my opinion- offers a great midway, a meeting place, for those who are completely convicted of their religious beliefs… and those equally as certain of their scientific, fact-based exploration. If you love this book, check him out at Claremont School of Theology or on Homebrewed Christianity.

⭐The author’s unbiased elucidation of both science and religion reinforced my belief not only in the compatibility of science and religion, but of their intertwined growth.

⭐bad read

⭐Gives fair statements of different attitudes, and encourages readers to decide for themselves how to respond.
