About Michael Dowd
Michael Dowd has been called “America’s Evolutionary Evangelist.” His mission is to convey an inspiring “deep-time” understanding of our place in the universe, based entirely on the evidential resources of mainstream science. Since 2001 he has been living on the road with his science writer wife, Connie Barlow, bringing this message to religious and secular audiences across the spectrum.
