From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of all the places to store and access information, Wikipedia is one of the best. It's not the easiest to work with but it's so popular that I think the effort to learn how to contribute is worth it.

My interests include evolution, geology, paleontology, biology, and the so called evolution/creation controversy. I was a YEC in the late 80's until I took a geology course in university. For a few months I was an ID advocate but as of late 1997 I fully accept the standard theory of evolution.

I have a theology degree (B.Th. - 1985) from a conservative bible college and an engineering degree (B.A.Sc. - mechanical engineering - 1995) from the University of Toronto. Since the early 1990's I have been reading evolution/creation literature - still a long way from an expert however. I'm not a trained scientist (engineering is applied science - big difference from theoretical science) but I try to think like one.

Although I have a theology degree, much of what I was taught I no longer accept as true. The process of getting that theology degree does help however in an ongoing search for truth.
