Dedication page
I can think of many people who have been
influential in the production of this book.
Miss Kim Van Gundy spent countless hours typing,
correcting and retyping the manuscript.
My Mom

and Dad 6upplled

the computer for this work

There have been many times they financially

to be done on.

supported my ministry.
My wife has put up with me reading well into the
night many,

many times.

She has also patiently let me

spend hundreds of hours on the phone gathering information

and scheduling meetings.

In those hundreds of moments when

I thought of not completing this work,

she encouraged me to

go on.
My three children;

Kent Andrew,

Eric and Marlissa

have often traveled with me as I preach on the subject of

dinosaurs and the Bible.
as we set up
books,

bones,

They have been a great help to me

(and later pack up)

tapes,

thre tables full of

maps and graphs for each meeting.

Patriot University inspired me the continue my

education by making it possible for me to study at my own
pace and complete this thesis as I could.
Hundreds of pastors and laymen have encouraged me
to continue on in this unusual and unique ministry.
Many science teachers and writers have left their
mark

In my life.

Some of these have been evolutionists and

some have been creationists.

Most of all I must thank my Lord Jesus Christ for

patiently working with me and equipping me for the work of
the ministry.

I marvel that He has counted me faithful,

putting me into the ministry.
