    Dedication page

    I can think f many people who have been

    influential in the prduction of this book.

    Miss Kim Van Gundy spent countless hurs typing

    ad reyping the manuscript

    M M d Dd 6uppld mputer fr this work

    to be done on There have been may times they financially

    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 hurs 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, ric and Marlissa

    have oten traveled with me as I preach n the subject of

    dinosaurs and the Bible They have been a great help t me

    as e set up (and later pack up) thre tables full of

    books, bones, tapes, maps and gaphs for each meeting

    Patriot University inspired me the continue my

    education by making it pssible for me t study at my own

    pace and cmplete this thesis as I could.

    undreds of pastors and laymen have encouraged me

    to cntinue on in this nusual and unique ministry

    Many cience teachers and writers have left their

    mark n m life Sme f these have been evolutionists and

    some have been creatonists
