The author had been a skeptic of organized religion in general, and Christianity in particular, in his younger years. Then he was challenged to examine if Christianity had any real evidence in its favor. This book chronicles that examination of the Christian faith, which led to his journey from skepticism to Christ. The evidences for God, Christ, and the divine authority of the Bible are addressed, always in the context of how they compare to atheism, pantheism, and deism, which are the other dominant worldviews today.The relationship between faith and reason, and the problem of suffering, are included as well. For the benefit of the reader, the example of Paul sharing his faith with the Athenian philosophers of his time (Acts 17:16-34) is covered in detail. This was truly "Worldviews in Collision."

Some recent writings of the new atheist movement and those of a neo-empiricist mindset have shown, not just Christians, but the whole of the scientific community that there is a need for scientists to communicate their conclusions more accurately than before. Much of what we read may be tainted with some editorializing that pretends to be science. Some Christian apologists have written around the subject but this work attempts to tackle it directly. Likewise some recent philosophers of science have also addressed some specific material for its weaknesses. The assumptions and the prejudices of the researcher may become a part of the process itself. Some discernment is important for both the scientist and the lay person reading this material to understand the difference. This work intends to help the Christian do science without that burden. It should also be helpful to scientists in general for improving their communication.
