Carl Baugh
Carl Edward Baugh is the founder and Director of Creation Evidence Museum, Glen Rose, Texas. He has also made more that 70 guest appearances representing scientific creation on Trinity Broadcasting Network, and was formerly the host of a weekly television program on TBN called - “Creation in the 21st Century.”
Research
Dr. Baugh is Co-Director of a research team (along with Dr. Don Shockey) searching for Noah’s Ark on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. He personally negotiated a 49-year lease of Mt. Ararat with the Turkish government during the administration of President Uzal. He led three scientific expeditions into the rainforests of Papua New Guinea in search of living pterodactyls; along with missionary Jim Blume, he is recognized by current living-pterosaur investigators as a pioneer in this research (see Ropen).[1] He was the excavation director of fourteen dinosaurs, including Acrocanthosaurus in Texas and Diplodocus in Colorado.
His independent research involves the application of technology he has pioneered in biospheric science. This independent research includes hyperbaric pharmaceutical potentials in living plants and animals, energized water systems, energized systems for enhanced production of plants as food sources, energized systems for enhanced production of fishes, energized systems for enhanced production of livestock, and energized water recovery systems. Dr. Baugh has been invited as a guest lecturer at NASA headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland as a result of his independent research on the world’s first hyperbaric biosphere.[2]
Currently Carl Baugh oversees the Creation Evidence Museum's hyperbaric biosphere’s physical facility. This biosphere is a simulation of the original ecospheric conditions of Planet Earth. Preliminary results show extended life spans (and enhanced size) of fruit flies, enhanced growth in fish, and structural alteration of snake venom. In his pioneering role as independent researcher in this field, he is President and CEO of Creation Research Systems, Inc. More than thirty years of his life have been spent researching the atmospheric conditions before the Biblical Flood. From this research he has synthesized the Creation in Symphony Model.

Contributions to Canopy Theory
- See also Canopy Theory
Canopy Theory proposes that Earth's atmosphere was thicker in the past, and the Earth was once covered in lush rainforest with higher oxygen levels producing a greenhouse environment perfectly suited for sustaining life. During the Flood, this canopy collapsed as the "windows of Heaven were opened." (Genesis 6:11)
That such a canopy existed is evident from the geologic record. We now know that Earth once had a thicker atmosphere with oxygen levels 50% higher than today's levels (30-35% as opposed to today's level of 21%), resulting in insect gigantism such as dragonflies with 2-foot wingspans.[3] The discovery was made over a decade after Creationist Carl Baugh patented his hyperbaric biosphere in 2001 and claimed the atmospheric changes led to gigantism.[1][2] Fossilized raindrop impressions in ancient volcanic ash likewise show that ancient Earth's atmosphere was thicker than today's.[4]
| “ | "For the giant insects that roamed Earth 300 million years ago, there was something special in the air. A higher concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere let dragonflies sometimes grow to the size of hawks, and some millipede-like bugs reached some six feet (two meters) in length, a new study suggests... During the late Carboniferous period (354 to 290 million years ago), however, oxygen levels were much higher than they are now, partly because coal swamps that leaked the gas into the air were very common. 'Back then, there was 31 to 35 percent oxygen in the air,' study lead author Kaiser said. 'Now we have about 21 percent.' That meant insects needed smaller quantities of air to meet their oxygen demands, allowing the creatures to grow much larger."

Research
- Scientific Research Director for world’s first Hyperbaric Biosphere
- Scientific Research Director for water reclamation and energized plant systems
- Discoverer and Excavation Director of fourteen dinosaurs, including Acrocanthosaurus in Texas and Diplodocus in Colorado. Several NASA scientists have recognized the scientific nature of the Colorado dinosaur excavation under Baugh’s direction and have participated in four such excavations under his auspices.
