I'm curious about the reactions of people in this forum to the evangelistic approach of Michael Dowd. Dowd is the author of Thank God for Evolution: How the Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World. He used to be a YEC but saw the error of his ways and now says evolutionary theory affirms God's role as creator.
A representative sample from his web site:

Today, thanks to Charles Darwin and the countless evolutionary scientists and writers he inspired”in fields as diverse as astrophysics, geology, genetics, primatology, sociobiology, and brain science”I interpret my Christian faith in far broader and more this-world realistic ways than ever before. It is obvious to me now that God didn't stop revealing truth vital to human wellbeing back when people believed the world was flat and religious insights were recorded on animal skins. God is still communicating faithfully today, publicly, through the worldwide, self-correcting scientific enterprise. I now see science as revelatory and facts as God's native tongue.
