<DIV>I think he needs to put Connie up front more. She is a solid scientist and
a good foil for his energy.</DIV>

<DIV>I saw him speak several years ago and took an online course. More recently
I've enjoyed Andrew Cohen and Craig Hamilton's online work, and of course
Andrew's book <EM><U>Evolutionary Enlightenment.</U></EM></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Dowd came to speak at our church (Covenant Church in Houston). He
is an amazingly high energy speaker, very interesting. He strides back and
forth over about 30 feet on the stage with every possible gesture. But the
high energy wears thin very quickly. Kind of like sticking the audience's
heads in a fire hydrant stream. Too bad, because few people can do what he
does. If he could alternate his high energy mode with a slow, quietly dramatic
mode he would be a blockbuster speaker. Strange that someone who is on the
road speaking continuously hasn't gotten (or maybe hasn't listened to) a
little coaching on public speaking. Wouldn't take much to improve, assuming he
is capable of standing still and lowering his voice for a few seconds. :-)

<DIV>I remember his style more than his message. We bought his book "Thank God
for Evolution" which I will read and give him a chance.<BR>
