Rev. Michael Dowd has written a book entitled Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion will Transform Your Life and Our World (Viking / Plume, 2009). He and his wife travel the US under the guise of "evolutionary evangelists", delivering a message how how our religions must be transformed to reflect the maturation of our scientific worldview, which now provides the most accurate and "spiritually" gratifying experience of the real world.
There are some very good sermons and podcasts in the "Media" section, as well as at their blog: http://evolutionaryevangelists.libsyn.com/
More later. Enjoy this for now. |
While in my youth, I favored intelligent design focused reconciliation between evolution and faith but I can't say that I believe that any longer. I totally understand why reconciling the two opposing viewpoints can erase a lot of cognitive dissonance in someone's mind however. This movement is yet another way by which faith adapts and changes rapidly to the forces and momentum of the society around it as it always has for millenia.
