London: R. Wilkin. THE AUTHORS Kathryn McGuire has her BS in Geology from Cedarville University, and has begun work on her Master’s of Geographic Information Science program at Kent State University. Since her time at Cedarville she has worked in GIS and data management for Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District and Washington College, where she has learned several programming languages and many GIS tools. Sophie Southerden is a senior at The Master’s University studying Geoscience. Since being a student at Master’s she has written for the online journal e-Origins and has reviewed articles for The New Creation Blog. Her interest areas are orogeny and plate tectonics. Katherine Beebe is a junior at The Master’s University, where she is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Biology with an emphasis in Paleontology. She has been conducting paleontological research as an undergraduate student. Neal Doran is Professor of Biology and Director of the Center of Creation Research at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. He has a BS in Geology (University of Florida) and a PhD in Geology (Florida State University). Matthew McLain is Associate Professor of Biology and Geology at The Master’s University in Santa Clarita, CA, where he teaches courses on paleontology, biology, and geology. He has a BS in Geology (Cedarville University) and a PhD in Earth Sciences (Loma Linda University). He is president of the Creation Biology Society and has published paleontology papers in both the conventional and creationist literature. Todd Charles Wood is a researcher, teacher, and lecturer with twenty years’ experience working in young-age creationism. He is especially known for his studies of created kinds and fossil hominins. He is currently president of Core Academy of Science and resides in Dayton, Tennessee, home of the Scopes Trial. Paul A. Garner is a Researcher and Lecturer for Biblical Creation Trust in the UK. He has an MSc in Geoscience from University College London, where he specialised in palaeobiology. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of London and a member of several other scientific societies. Between 2007 and 2011 he was part of a team studying the Coconino Sandstone of northern and central Arizona. He is the author of two books, The New Creationism: Building Scientific Theories on a Biblical Foundation (Evangelical Press, 2009) and Fossils and the Flood: Exploring Lost Worlds with Science and Scripture (New Creation, 2021).
