Hello Samual, Jonathan and others,
I opened this message because it was from Johnathan and I always open his
messages, regardless of the topic, because I enjoy his opinions and
questions; but this time iot was the information from Samuel that got my
interest. In my 20+ years of being in and around the oil buisness and
geologic education, and with one exception, the only young earth geologists
I know or know of are those affiliated with the various young earth
institutes such as ICR or who teach at a college affiliated with a religious
denomination. The one exception was a geologist I briefly corresponded with
a couple of years ago who worked for Mobile in Dallas. Therefore I am very
curious about where these two people went to school, what their degrees were
in, what level of education the attained, what their areas of specialization
are and whether they were young earth creationists before they went to
school, became converted to this view in school, or after they graduated and
started working. Perhaps someone could provide this information.
There are a couple of reasons I want the information I requested in the
previous paragraph. The first is that I try to keep a list of active young
earth creationists and YEC organizations so I can provide this information
to my students in my historical geology classes and the second is that I am
interested in the data and the logic upon which such beliefs rest.
Darryl
