Rev Michael Dowd: Marrying Science and Religion to Transform Your Life

This week, the Reverend Michael Dowd, America’s evolutionary evangelist, will be our guest. Michael is the author of the best-selling book, Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World (Plume: 2009). His book has been endorsed by 6 Nobel laureates and other science luminaries, including noted skeptics, as well as by religious leaders across the spectrum. Michael is a "religious naturalist" whose personal religion is about living in integrity. His philosophy is a marriage of science and religion and reveals that the purpose of humanity is simply to glorify God and enjoy God forever. Reverend Dowd interviews the top evolutionary Christian thought leaders on his own radio show. Check out the impressive lineup here: http://evolutionarychristianity.co/blog/speaker-bios/ Michael challenges us by pointing out that most human beings are primarily consumers, rather than servants and stewards of our world and the universe. He talks about the omnipresence of God as pervading the very atoms and molecules of our bodies and explores the relationship between beliefs and knowledge. He asserts that no longer is our experience of reality to be just handed down to us by our elders but rather that the experience and evidence of our age of science and truth are equally valid interpretations of God's nature. He also teaches that, if we are going to be happy or live joyous lives, we have to realize that we are made to serve each other and the world, i.e., where our joy and the world’s needs intersect.... there is our calling. Michael loves to quote from, It takes a Universe: by Father Thomas Barry: “The Child awakens to the universe…It takes a universe to fulfill a child and the universe is fulfilled in the child…” Michael Dowd truly believes that this is a glorious time to be alive. We hope you will join us for this insightful interview to learn why.
