Ronald Samec
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Ronald George Samec Received his initial education from the University of South Florida. He first worked to receive his B.A. in Astronomy and then followed up with more schooling to receive his M.S. in science education. The final step he took in order to finalize his education years was to work diligently on receiving his Ph.D. in physics at Clemson university. He is currently employed at Bob Jones University as he has been since 1996.

Work History
Over the years, he has spent time studying variations of stars. Photoelectric, and CCD photometry and spectroscopy and analysis of light and radial velocity curves of neglected eclipsing binary systems. Synthetic light curve techniques. Star spot modeling in close binary systems, Studying Contact and Near Contact Solar-type Eclipsing Binaries and Eclipsing Binary Stars as tests of Relativistic Gravity. Mr. Samec has gone on to teach on a variety of subjects in his interest spectrum. He spent time working in schools teaching physics, astronomy 1 and 2, as well as mechanics. Before that, he was the public observatory director in a planetarium at Butler University in Indianapolis.[1]
Creation Missions
He is a strong proponent for creationism. His numerous observations of the stars in his astronomy courses and studies has led him to trust and believe in God's creation of it all. He has spent alot of time working with the Institute for Creation Research, creating a large number of discoveries as well as arguments for his theories in planetary and astrological fields. he currently spends time with a children's church outreach missionary (for Easley Area children and teens), in Faith Baptist Church, Easley, SC. He is also on the board for the Creation Research Society.[2]
