"Michael Dowd has produced a thoughtful, timely, challenging — and readable — synthesis of science and spirituality in the spirit of Thomas Berry and Teilhard de Chardin. There is much here for all of us to ponder as we look for solid reasons for ethical aspiration in the 21st Century."
— John F. Haught, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Georgetown University

How wonderful that a pastor shows how religious inspiration can be drawn from contemplating evolution and the beauty and diversity of the living world." — Francisco Ayala, past president, American Association for the Advancement of Science, author of Darwin's Gift to Science and Religion
"Like orphans reunited, spirituality and evolution come face to face in this daring book."

"The universe took 13.7 billion years to produce this amazing book. I heartily recommend it. I am often asked how science and religion can co-exist. This is a wonderful answer."
—John Mather, NASA Senior Astrophysicist, 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics
"Honest students of God should welcome the revelations of science as insights, not fear them as threats. Here is a book in that spirit by Christian minister who takes evolution to heart, and celebrates it."
— Frank Wilczek, 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics
"If anyone can persuade a monotheist that the science of evolution—biological, geological, or cosmological—can enrich his or her faith, I'm betting on Michael Dowd."
— Thomas C. Schelling, 2005 Nobel Prize in Economics
"The science vs. religion debate is over. Michael Dowd masterfully unites rationality and spirituality in a world view that celebrates the mysteries of existence and inspires each human being to achieve a higher purpose in life. A must read for all, including scientists."
— Craig Mello, 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine
