“Sometimes a book is more than a book. In this case it’s also a virtual, transpartisan table—an invitation to dialogue, with open seating, for those across a variety of divides: believers, semi-believers and non-believers of all stripes and lineages, aetheists, agnostics, a range of spiritual devotees and activists, and those in the worlds of science and other ways of knowing. Thank God for Evolution offer an historic opportunity for many Americans who rarely if ever talk to each other to do so. One can imagine Meet Ups of a whole range of folks having a new basis to exchange ideas, beliefs, passions, meanings of life in a way that has never happened before. I see this book making it possible to find new steps to fulfill America’s promise. ”
