One of the best responses I have seen is here. Interestingly it is written by another prominent scientist.

Video Library

Below is a link to a video library with many full length videos, including Unlocking the Mystery of Life, The Privileged Planet, and Icons of Evolution. It also has numerous lectures, particularly from proponents in the Intelligent Design community, which have been useful and influential in shaping my thinking. There's literally hours and hours of material here, so on those insomniatic nights, this is a great website to visit!

Science and religion intersection

Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.

The Meaning of Creation

Science and religion are not irrelevant to each other. That would be intolerably schizophrenic. They can mutually enrich and stimulate each other. Religion can caution science about the limitations of its naturalistic bias and remind it that it does not represent the sum total of all significant games that can be played. Science, on the other hand, can awaken religion from its dogmatic slumbers and jar it loose from its easy compromises with earlier world views. In such a give-and-take, evolution is not a threat to religion but a stimulus for theological reexamination and for the discovery of a richer and profounder faith.
- Conrad Hyers, The Meaning of Creation, p. 34
