Perhaps you can clarify a point: are you saying that your book is oriented towards people who come from a science-denier background (i.e., taught to accept the Bible as literal truth) and/or subscribers to the Ben Stein perspective that Science=Nazism? That is, torwards people who think that religion trumps science? Is this what you mean by how science can inform faith? >An overview and some of the content is available at >http://davidmyers.org/Brix?pageID=139.

For balance, people on the west coast might consider attending the October 3-4, 2008 Skeptics Society Conference in Pasadena, CA: it includes a session on "Origins", "Does Science Make Belief in God Obsolete?" (panel and debate), and entertainment provided by Mr. Deity.
