Hi Gary. As a founding member of TruthTalk, you really should know better. My educational background has been mentioned several times, and it is mentioned on our website (www.InnGlory.org) by clicking on my name in the library section. I studied biology in the university system for 9 years, from fall of 1978 to fall of 1987. I received a bachelor's degree in 1982 from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master's degree in 1985 from the University of South Florida. I began studies toward a Ph.D. in biology, but I dropped out after 2 years. I have five years experience in teaching biology at the university level. Izzy is correct about my research background. I've published in scientific journals a few times, as well as in other magazines and print media. I've also presented my research findings several times at scientific conventions, and I have participated in the review process of considering the publishing worthiness of the works of other scientists. In my opinion, credentials are over-rated. In upper scientific endeavors, the degrees are more political and sociological than you can possibly imagine. It is basically a good ol' boys club. Being a creationist among evolutionists, I basically found it a waste of my time by the beginning of my 10th year at the university and so I felt it was time to move on. I had enough college credits for a Ph.D., but I did not consider it worthwhile to finish the required research dissertation. Let's just say that I was tired of trying to please 5 professors who didn't seem to agree on anything, and I had a growing family who needed me to make a better income. If you want credentials, I suspect that newcomer Peter might blow us all away if he shared his curriculum vitae with us. Feel free to tell us more about yourself Peter. Maybe you can succeed where I have failed in gaining Gary's respect. :-) Peace be with you.
