 Rating:  - Hey Mr. Wilson!!Thanks for writing this book. It was truly inspiration for me. I don't write many reviews so I'm going to make this short and sweet. I'm about to start my last semester of college and will soon be receiving my B.A. in Psychology. However, I had no idea what I wanted to do with it afterwards. Typically students try to go to grad school, but I didn't know what field interested me enough to devote two more years too. Then I read this book and heard of Environmental Psychology. I've ...

This book should be required reading for all high school and college students. Rating:  - A good, quick read.I like Wilson's view that science and faith can and should try to meet on common ground.

If you change the words science and reason for phisicalism then you can really understand what he is saying to the (imaginary?) Pastor, which, in a few ... Read More Rating: - Creation:Saving Planet EarthA very readable book written by a leading scientist. Wilson makes an effort to appeal to the conservative religious community by identifying his past association with it. He presents compelling reasons for his thesis that we need to work together to save the planet. He may well lose his religious audience when he declares his views about how the earth was created. Excellent book.
