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
