Raised in Salt Lake City as a Unitarian, I was a committed evolutionist and big dino-fan, when in my mid-twenties, questions about descent and fossil organization, as well as contradictory information, and frankly bad attitudes of University professors in geology and paleontology started me thinking that there must be a better explanation than old-earth and evolutionary theories. Not a creationist at the time, I searched for viable concepts and information that did not require blind faith in what I perceived to be flawed ideas that seemed as much based on self-preservation and prestige as on actual science. (I call this the "rice bowl" pseudo-science approach, as researchers seemed to be more concerned with their current grant application than with adhering to the scientific method) As I searched for answers, I found two things: the more plausible explanations, which were based on observation, prediction, and empirical science, were creation-based explanations, and the mainstream science community more often resorted to ridicule, personal attacks, and claimed ignorance of a given debate subject than did their supposed opponents in the debate on origins, processes, and visual evidence. I frankly wondered where the actual science went in the fields of paleo-anything. Most disturbing and discouraging for one who believes in the primacy of scientific methods. Two particular creationist websites, found while looking for answers on line, have helped me define my approach and evidence that have helped solidify my views - scienceagainstevolution.org and creationscience.com. Of late I have been concerntrating on subjects that interest me particularly, those being sustainability of populations and its ongoing expansion, astronomy (a personal favorite), and purpose in light of Christian discipleship. I do not often engage in debate online, but am developing a ministry on critical scientific approach to the questions of origins and evidence of creation, or rather against the pseudo-science of evolution.
