Rev. Michael Dowd is author of the bold new book Thank GOD for EVOLUTION published by Viking/Plume and praised by celebrated scientists (including 6 Nobel laureates), noted skeptics, and a long list of religious leaders.
Michael is an ordained Christian minister with a Master of Divinity degree. He was raised Roman Catholic, served in the military, graduated from an evangelical college at the top of his class, pastored three churches, and at one time was a Bible-thumping fundamentalist who would argue with anyone who believed that the world was more than 6,000 years old.
Today, Rev. Dowd is America's evolutionary evangelist and preaches a gospel billions of years old. He integrates science and spirituality in what is being called Religion 2.0, or Evolution Theology. Dowd's message give voice to the millions in the middle who see no conflict between religion and reason.
Secular and religious audiences alike are embracing his call to accept evolution and live in integrity, which he says means coming into right relationship with Reality, or getting right with God.

Michael and his wife Connie Barlow, acclaimed author of several noted science books on evolution, have lived entirely on the road since 2002 evangelizing evolution as theology, not just theory. Their unorthodox perspective offers faith based on facts, which Dowd preaches are “God’s native tongue.”
Speaking to audiences ranging from Baptists to Buddhists, Michael shares a God's-eye view of everything from microbes to supernovas. He shows how the 13.7 billion year Epic of Evolution is infinitely more awe inspiring and personally transforming than any one culture's creation story, or all of them combined.
Awestruck audiences across America are wowed by Dowd's mind-blowing, heart-opening, and often life-changing presentations that show how only accepting and celebrating evolution can assure humanity's salvation.
