Michael Dowd Thanks God for Evolution: Homebrewed Christianity 45
By Chad Crawford • Feb 25th, 2009 • Category: podcast
Tripp talks to Michael Dowd this week to round out our series on evolution. Michael’s book Thank God for Evolution has been endorsed by five Nobel Laureates. He is an “evolutionary Christian” exploring how current science shows evolution is not meaningless blind chance. His work transcends debate to give us a new way to think about science in light of faith.
You can download the first 50 pages of the book on the website.
Michael’s blog is definitely worth reading: thankgodforevolution.com/category/blog
The post we translate into piratespeak in the introduction is “God is NOT a Supernatural Terrorist.”
San Antonio is well-represented this week with calls from Paul Soupiset and Pete Zimmerman. Great to hear from you two.
Next week we’ll be back without the pirate and flu voices.

“the world”: all the sinful people and culture. think that is what the bible means.
the bible is “conformed” to the worldview of it’s many authors.
real live g-d damned academics and science are not “The world” nor are the a comprehensive world view or value system it is just data. and MD has a grand theory or worldview about that data.
I am sorry but the earth is not 6000 years old. noah did not have the ability to feed carnivores, there was no world wide flood. get over it. I did at baylor at the tender age of 19. I was scared and confused and worried but me and Jesus got through the terrors of “modern critical thinking” just fine.
