Kurt Wise
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Kurt Patrick Wise is a American young earth creationist with a background in paleontology.
Kurt got his education mainly from Harvard University, where he studied under the famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould. From Harvard he received an M.A and Ph.D. in Geology. In addition to his education at Harvard he also earned a B.A. Geophysical Sciences degree. Currently Wise is teaching at Bryan College, located in Dayton, Tennessee, which was named after William Jennings Bryan of the Scopes Trial. In May 2006 it was announced that he would be replacing intelligent design proponent William Dembski as director of the Center for Theology and Science at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.[1]
Kurt is perhaps best known for advancing the creation science discipline known as baraminology, which is identification and study of the baramin or the created kinds.
Noted Atheist Richard Dawkins has referred to Wise (somewhat derisively) as an "Honest Creationist".[2]
