The Explanation For Everything examines the age-old question of intelligent design vs. evolution. Andy Waite, an avowed atheist with a doctorate from Princeton, teaches biology at a small college in New Jersey. Following the death of his wife by a drunk driver, he is raising his two young daughters while coming to terms with his loneliness. When he agrees to mentor an undergraduate student, he finds himself searching for solace from his grief through religion and an inappropriate relationship. As a scientist, he is intrigued and frustrated by the inability to quantify faith. Not unexpectedly, this book has no answers. Ultimately, I found it touched neither my mind nor my heart.
