A good popular summary of the science, but a lot of straw in the religious "debates." The tv show "The Big Bang Theory" covers the topic better. Excellent, if now dated, bibliography.
Advances in the field of science known as the new physics could bring within our grasp a unified description of all creation. This would demand a radical reformulation of the most fundamental aspects of reality and a way of thinking that is closer in accord with mysticism than materialism.
A poor attempt to link God & physics/cosmology.

This is one of the very best books about religion and science.
