| BAKER, JOE. I am now 24 years old (2006) and have spent the last year of my life touring the country (USA), speaking to high school students on worldview issues including the Creation versus evolution debate. I have spoken in 30 states and driven through almost every one of the 50. |
 |
The Lord has taught me some amazing lessons since high school, and now I am beginning my first book that may take a few years to write. Right now most of my life is consumed with personal discovery and preparing for the next section of my journey. At present (2004) I am working and training in Alaska under the leadership of John Eldridge of Ransomed Heart Ministries. |

the Creation versus evolution issue. Joe has contributed to parts of

BONNETTE, PROFESSOR DENNIS. Author of the
Ape language
page of this site. At the end of 2003, Dr. He received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in 1970, and taught philosophy at the college level for more than 40 years. Dr. Bonnette was a faculty member of the San Diego College for Women, Loyola University in New Orleans, and the University of Dayton, before coming to Niagara University. He has participated in many radio and television programs on social, ethical, and theological topics in the course of his career, and written a number of scholarly articles as well as two books, Aquinas' Proofs for God’s Existence and Origin of the Human Species. This last work has just been published in a second edition (Sapientia Press: 2003) with a new foreword by Dr. Michael J. Behe, Full Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University and author of Darwin's Black Box. Dr. Bonnette and his wife, Lois, live in Youngstown, NY. They have seven adult children and fifteen grandchildren To top.

DeYoungEAGER,
DIANE. I
am a medical graduate, but have spent most of my time in medical
education and doing some research. I became interested in the
Creation and evolution issue because I was never happy with the idea
that Genesis and evolution were describing the same events. As I
looked at the evidence and discussed it with other people I found
more and more evidence that fitted the Bible but not evolution.
I now spend most of my time doing research, writing and presentation preparation in Creation topics. I also give slide presentations, mainly on biology and design and some Biblical topics. I currently work full time for Creation Research in Australia. Diane Eager has contributed to this site by writing most of the Complexity page and writing some parts of the FAQ page.

GASCOIGNE, MIKE. B.Sc., M.S.,
C.Eng., M.I.Chem.E.,
M.I.S.T.C.,
City & Guilds Stage 1 Certificate in Teaching Adult Learners. Author of the History page of this site. My name is Mike Gascoigne and I am the author of two books:
I started off as a chemical engineer and then went freelance and wrote manuals on all sorts of subjects that are described on my technical writing page. Sometimes people ask why someone with a scientific background should be writing historical and theological books, and the answer is that everything fits together, and you can't understand anything in isolation. In particular, if you try to write about the very early history of the world, during the first few centuries after the Flood, people always ask science questions. Send me a message if you want to talk about any of these subjects. To top.

HAMPTON, CRAIG. I live in the USA and am married with two children. For several years I have been interested in the Creation versus evolution debate and have contributed to this site by responding to many past comments posted to this site and by writing a part of the Anti Creation page. I grew up in a Christian home and have
essentially been a Christian all my life. Although I grew up in the
Methodist church, I transitioned with my family to a church in the
Nazarene denomination when I was in high school and have stayed
there ever since. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in
Electrical Engineering and should have my Masters of Business
Administration degree completed by May 2005 if all goes as planned
Mc INTOSH, PROFESSOR ANDY. DSc, FIMA, C.Math, FEI, C.Eng, FInstP, MIGEM, FRAeS. Dr Andy C. McIntosh is a Professor (the highest teaching/research rank in U.K. university hierarchy) in Combustion Theory at Leeds University, U.K. His Ph.D. was in aerodynamics. A number of his students later worked for Rolls Royce, designing aircraft engines. Dr Andy C. McIntosh wrote the "six days" page of the site, which also appeared in an edited format in the Evangelical Alliance IDEA magazine of August 2005.

RANDALL,
DR LUKE.
C. Biol, M.I.Biol, M.Sc. PhD. I have worked in science for about 30 years and have
an Honours equivalent in applied biology specialising in medical
microbiology, a Masters degree in Immunology and a PhD in the area of
antibiotic resistance in the bacteria Salmonella. Whilst studying I
found that there were aspects of the theory
of evolution that were hard to accept, where the science seemed
very flimsy and the assumptions huge.
After being a Christian for some years I came across books and videos that questioned the science behind the theory of evolution, and the arguments seemed sound. I thought I would try my hand at putting together the main arguments on a web site, and this is the result! The aim of the site is not to put down those that believe in evolution, but to try and present in a fair way some of the weaknesses of the theory of evolution, so that those who choose to believe we were created by a loving God, do not have to feel they are throwing their brains out. Like all of us I am learning, so feel free contact us if you disagree with any information on this site. Click here if you want to see some papers I have written or been involved with. You can look some of these up on the PubMed web site. To top.
Andrew has worked as a weather forecaster for a number of years, including presentation of forecasts on BBC local radio. He completed an MSc in Environmental Decision Making in 2003 with the Open University, and as a Christian he has developed a keen interest in environmental and social ethics. He is also a Council Member of the Creation Science Movement based in Portsmouth, which was founded in 1932 to challenge the ethical, theological and scientific implications that belief in evolution presents to society. Andrew has recently (2005) written a book Restoring the ethics of Creation To top. TAYLOR, PAUL. Paul lives in Auckland, NZ and is married and has two adult daughters and one grandson. Paul is active in caring for the whole family as his main focus but likes to spend time on the computer, sending and receiving emails and browsing the Internet. His main interests there include following the discussions around Creation and evolution and learning about Linux and computer security issues.
One of his main achievements was building the family home during a short leave from this office job. His interest in Creation Science began as a teenager when he was confronted by the challenge of evolution but flowered when he was unable to work following an illness and became acquainted with Creation Research founder, John Mackay, at a Creation workshop. Paul has contributed immensely to this site by careful proof reading of many pages with editorial suggestions. Paul has also suggested many of the useful links in the Links page and has responded to many of the comments posted to this site in the past. To top
TOLEMAN, DR MARK B.Sc. M.Sc (Distinction) Ph.D. I am happily married with six children and
became a Christian at University ~ 20 years ago after being
confronted Despite almost constant text book bashing and evolutionary brain-washing throughout my education the general theory of evolution has always appeared to me as no more than a fashionable belief. In the last few years I have become more interested in looking at the details of the evidence for and against evolution and the impact of evolutionary belief on society. I am amazed at the wild dogmatic statements of the text books based on such flimsy and incomplete evidence and the awful fruit that this theory has produced in our Western society. I am currently employed by the Mark had kindly contributed the evolution of evolution article to this site.

In an earlier stage of his life, Paul worked as an Accountant,
with a major segment as Cost Accountant for a factory producing
fibreglass insulation. It was in this role that he began his
interest in computing, initially programming the costing functions
on a programmable calculator, then overseeing the programming for
one of the first commercial desktop computers
with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ together
with the fact that I had fallen far short of His standards.
