He seemed like he converted to evangelical Christianity out of despair, in particular, being exposed to suffering, death and anguish in patients of his, young children, who were dying of cancer. After that, he had an "experience" while walking in the woods (seeing three frozen streams of water) which lead him to a belief in the Trinity.
While we can all sympathize with the loss of young children, what does the board think of Dr. Francis Collins and his alleged "conversion" from atheism (assuming, of course, he was ever a true atheist to begin with, having been raised, by his own admission, by liberal Christian parents)? It seems to me that his "justification" for his new theistic beliefs came ex post facto after his religious conversion.
