This summer, I popped into Thunder Bay for a day (on Rebecca’s “All-You-Can-Fly Ontario” adventure) to visit him while he was there with family. His father gifted me with a book upon my departure – Thank God for Evolution. Save for my initial excitement over a new book, I set it aside and didn’t think much of it until recently when I felt compelled to pick it up and leaf through it. Written by Michael Dowd, a pastor who believes that understanding and accepting evolution can deepen one’s relationship to God, it is the first time I’ve really seen (read) a digestible synthesis of Creation and Evolution. Whether a person is an atheist, Buddhist, pagan, Christian Fundamentalist (etc. etc), this book is non-partisan and inspirational. Whether or not a person is adamant about their beliefs (or lack thereof), I believe this wonderful book has something to offer! A big thank you to Peter V. in Thunder Bay for gifting it to me this past August!
