Thank God for Evolution
Rev. Michael Dowd
Tuesday, May 1 from 7-9pm
| |

The Rev. Michael Dowd will offer a free, 2-hour
presentation "Thank God for Evolution" on Tuesday May 1 from 7 to 9pm at Allegheny UU Church, 1110 Resaca Place,
Pittsburgh, PA 15212 .
In this richly
illustrated talk, he will explore the most common "evolutionary epiphanies" or "religious awakenings"
that people experience when the discoveries of
mainstream science are presented in ways that
integrate all the threads into a meaningful, sacred,
inspiring, and thoroughly up-to-date creation story.
The talk will also explore these questions:
-
Is it
possible to use "God-language" in a way that theists,
atheists, and pantheists can all truly celebrate?
-
What
exciting new light can this perspective offer on
age-old questions about human nature and human
destiny?
-
How can an understanding of evolutionary
brain science and evolutionary psychology assist us in
living happier, healthier, more on-purpose lives and
having more satisfying, fulfilling relationships?
-
Finally, How does "The Great Story" open the future to
hope and inspired action, and how can it energize and
support our efforts to further the work of peace,
justice, and environmental sustainability?
Rev. Dowd and his wife, science writer Connie
Barlow, are UUs who, during the past 5 years, have
delivered sermons and other presentations at more than
200 UU churches and many other venues, as well. Their
itinerant ministry is featured as the cover story in
the Spring 2006 issue of UU World.
