Among the five Nobel Laureates who have endorsed the book, "Thank God for Evolution," Craig Mello, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine. Mello, offers, "The science vs. religion debate is over! Michael Dowd masterfully unites rationality and spirituality in a worldview that celebrates the mysteries of existence and inspires each human being to achieve a higher purpose in life. A must read all, including scientists."
February 1988, in a course taught by Albert LaChance, a cultural therapist, Michael Dowd heard the story of the Universe as a sacred epic and began to weep. "I knew I would spend the rest of my life sharing this perspective as great news," says Michael. |

by Cara Palone  For the past six years, the Rev. Michael Dowd, 49, and his wife Connie Barlow, 56 have made a home out of their white Dodge Sprinter, traveling the United States and spreading the message that evolution and Christianity can peacefully co-exist.
The evangelist will spread his gospel of evolution in Roseburg Wednesday when he gives a presentation based on his book, “Thank God for Evolution!: How the Marriage of Science and Religion will Transform Your Life and Our World.”
Dowd, an ordained Christian minister and former anti-evolution fundamentalist, and his scientist wife are often stopped by people at restaurants and gas stations during their travels, who want an explanation for the two fish imprinted on their van.
Red hearts float above the image of one fish with the word, “Jesus” imprinted in the hollow of its body kissing the other fish labeled, “Darwin.”
Dowd said one man interpreted the fish as a great way to make everyone angry.
In two sentences, Dowd said he explains to those wondering about the logo on his van that, “Science and religion are spurring each other to greatness. They’re in a love affair!”

Do you believe the biblical story of creation is literally true, symbolically true, a little of both, or none of the above?
by Rob Cullivan No matter what you believe, the Rev. Michael Dowd wants you to consider that there may be another story behind the creation story – and that’s the story of evolution. He’s presented his belief in “sacred evolution” to Christians, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics and other groups, and has earned kudos from scientists and religious thinkers alike for his work.
Raised a devout Roman Catholic, Dowd became a born-again Christian while serving in the U.S. Army in Berlin and came to believe evolution was the devil’s lie. Now he believes it’s the honest-to-God truth. |

SAN MATEO — The Rev. Michael Dowd and his wife, Connie Barlow, have criss-crossed the country in their Dodge Sprinter, teaching and preaching the Great Story, for the last six years.
Their road trip adventure has led them to hundreds of congregations, retreat centers and monasteries open to learning about a movement that binds science and religion.
"A lot of people are hungering for a message that bridges the divide," Dowd said recently. "Sacred evolution bridges the head and heart, science and the religious, faith and reason with a deeply spiritual or soul-nourishing message that inspires people to great integrity, to greater love."
