Donald Chittick

Dr. Donald E. Chittick has been active in creation apologetics missions for more than forty years. He has written several books including his recently revised book, The Puzzle of Ancient Man, his highly acclaimed, The Controversy: Roots of the Creation-Evolution Conflict, and The World and Time: Age and History of the Earth. He, along with his wife Donna, run a creation ministry called Creation Compass. The purpose of Creation Compass Ministry is to provide information to help Christians better understand the Creation standpoint. Donald Chittick travels around the country lecturing on the truth of the Bible. Read descriptions of his available seminars below, or visit his website to signup for his email newsletter.

Donald received a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, and a Bachelor of Science from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. His resume includes the following: Chairman of the Division of Natural Sciences at George Fox University in Oregon, adjunct professor of chemistry at the Institute for Creation Research in Dallas, and Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Puget Sound in Washington. Chittick is also an active inventor and has received several patents for alternative fuels and "programmed instruction," i.e. homeschooling. He has a member of the American Chemical Society, and the Creation Research Society.

One of the things I ask these people who challenge us is—'Have you ever seen one single example, any example, of where information spontaneously arises?' In fact, I was at a conference one weekend and a graduate student in science came up and challenged me. He said, 'Well, there are examples where inflow of energy causes increase in information'. He said, 'There has to be'. And so my response to him was, 'Show me one!' He said, 'All right, I'll go find one'. That was on a Thursday afternoon, and he disappeared, and he was gone for about 24 hours. The next day he came back with red eyes and very tired looking. He said, 'I have been to the library studying, and you're right, there are no cases'.
