In The Language of God, physician-geneticist Francis S. Collins, who headed the Human Genome Project after Francis Crick left, puts forth his case that accepting the findings of science and being a Christian are not incompatible. Well worth reading, for both believers and non-believers. Those who don't like the theology will still find themselves fascinated by the science and challenged by the moral issues raised by it.
Now it's on to Decoding the Language of God by geneticist George Cunningham, who, in arguing that being a scientist and a Christian are incompatible, takes Dr. Collins to task for his claims.

For more good books on this subject, try
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and
God is Not Great by Christian Hitchens. The former takes a scientific look at religion and the latter a more philosophical approach.
