Kevin W. Anderson – Kevin enlisted 6 years in the
US Navy in the electronics / electro mechanics field and then graduated
from DeVry Institute with an associates degree in electronics and computer
technology. He has been working in electronics for over 25 years. Kevin,
his wife Paula and his son Nate attend Hope Lutheran Church.
Growing
up in rural Kansas he studied geology in 4-H programs. Seeing a creation
science presentation as an adult, rekindled his passion for geology and
sparked a new interest in creation science. Now he is studying again
and sharing his passion with others. He is currently studying geo-catastrophism
and the nature of information in nature. His years in electronics has
shown him that programs and the mechanisms that run them, do not benefit
from any random errors and that random errors could not account for the
massive amount of information found in DNA.
Kenneth (Ken) Carlson - Ken holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc.
in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois. He is a Fuels
Consulting Engineer, specializing in Electric Power Utilities, particularly

the Genesis Flood, and Mount St. Helens as an illustration of the mechanisms
leading to the formation of many parts of the geologic column and other
striking geologic features.
Doug Dexheimer - Even growing up, Doug often participated
competitively in Chicago Science Fairs in Grammar and High Schools. While
a co-op student with the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago,
he gained experience in sludge and methane burning technology, and went
on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Illinois
Institute of Technology. He learned marine boiler and multiple fuel burner
technology during a five year stint at a large Shipbuilding firm, then
specialized in Instrumentation of Large Utility Power Plant Control Systems.
During nearly thirty years as a Consulting Engineer he participated in
the design of Coal, Oil, Gas, Nuclear, and Multi-fueled Power plants serving
domestic and international plants.

Cell Biology, Cell Chemistry, Molecular Biology and Horticulture. His
hobbies include raising orchids, photography, classical music, and steam
engines. He has participated in a number of convocations behind the "iron
curtain" for hundreds of public school teachers in Albania, Bulgaria

Lynn Lemons - Lynn went to Olivet Nazarene University where he graduated
magnum cum laude in 1973 with a B.A. in religious education and a minor
in history. After a short time working as a youth director at a Nazarene
church in Michigan and as a carpenter in Ohio, he moved to Kansas City
in 1975 and attended one semester at the Nazarene Theological Seminary.
Finding a real love for church history he decided to transfer to the
University of Kansas and work on a masters in Medieval history. He finish
all his course work for the masters, and while writing his thesis, continued
course work toward a doctorate in the same field. The impact of affirmative
action convinced him, as well as several of his fellow graduate students,
that the demand for white male history teachers teaching European history
was waning. That fact, along with his recent marriage, persuaded him
to make a drastic change of course in his vocation in 1980. In that year
he decided to enter the construction field as a finish carpenter. In
1991, he moved into residential remodeling and has remained in that endeavor
up to the present. He is the owner of Lynn Lemons Construction.
Lynn is married to Myra Jean Lemons and they have three children: Brendan,
Maeret and Landan. His interest in history has moved
from European studies to American frontier history, including such topics
as frontier soldiers, native Americans, and Custer. His passion for the
creation movement began in 1988 when he attended a seminar on the subject.
For the first time in his life, he realized there was a substantive and
logical rebuttal to evolution.
Mark Matthews - Mark holds a BS in Nuclear
Engineering and serves as an environmental compliance specialist.
He lives with his wife and three daughters, whom they homeschool. Mark
has done some fascinating original research on the implications of the
"natural nuclear reactor" at African uranium mine near Oklo. He has also
done fascinating research on the true age of Bristlecone Pines claimed
to be thousands of years old and on the claims of "Dendrochronology" that
specialists have built a "Master Chronology" back 8,000+ years.

Currently Cal is a Medical Physics Consultant and Owner of Nuclear
Health Training Corporation.
With his wife Judy, Cal began homeschooling their daughters Amy and Sarah
before it became fashionable, graduating Amy in 1989. Cal's Creation Science
and his professional research specialty is mechanisms of damage and repair
leading to mutation and transformation in mammalian cells. Cal has sought
in vain for evidence for so-called macro-evolution, in a profession where
millions of test animals have been deliberately subjected to enormous
carcinogenic dosages.

himself for more time in Creation work. Tom and his wife Penny homeschool
their children, David, Joshua, and Grace. At this writing, David and Josh
are in college.
Tom researches in and speaks on The Nature and Philosophy of Science,
the Origin of Life, Kinds and Man, Geology, Dinosaurs, the Ice Age, the
Genesis Flood, purported Human Evolution, Radiometric Dating and the Age
of the Earth.. Because of his background, he also does work in methods
of age dating, the velocity of light, physics, and related topics. Tom
was a leader in the notorious "Kansas Science Standards War"
as well as being a long term leader in Creation Science in the Midwest.
As such, Tom has been featured in interviews and articles by many international
media outlets including Reuters, BBC, New Scientist, Geo (the "European

to debate any evolutionist (or evolutionists) in the world on subjects
like "Creation or Evolution - Which is Science, Which is Myth?" |
