Last week, the Templeton Foundation announced that Francis Collins was the 2020 winner of their annual prize recognizing contributions to the dialogue between science and the deep questions our world and ourselves. Collins has made substantial contributions to biomedical science, helping to identify genes for conditions like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease before going on to lead the Human Genome Project. He is also a notable participant in the dialogue between science and Christian religion, most prominently via his book The Language of God and the BioLogos Foundation that grew out of responses to the book.
