... I can't believe this - a book on religion that most scientists would probably not disagree with. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

"Dowd proposes an approach to religion that absolutely accepts evolution." Well, so does Francis Collins and Owen Gingerich and John Polkinghorne and lots and lots of other people, myself included - at least if by evolution one means an biological explanation regarding the origin of species and not a metaphysical explanation of everything. The notion that most religious people do not accept Darwin is one of those myths that demonstrates how parochial secularism can be.
