Dr. Austin is a field research geologist who has done research on six of the seven continents of the world. His research has taken him by helicopter into the crater on Mount St. Helens, by bush plane onto glaciers in Alaska, by raft through the Grand Canyon, on horseback into the high Sierra, by elevator into the world’s deepest coal mines, by SCUBA onto the Great Barrier Reef, by rail into Korean backcountry, by foot onto barren plateaus of southern Argentina, and by four-wheel drive into remote desert areas of Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Austin received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in sedimentary geology.
Dr. Wise earned his BA in geology from the University of Chicago, and his MA and PhD degrees in paleontology from Harvard University. He founded and directed the Center for Origins Research at Bryan College and taught biology there for 17 years. He then led the Center for Theology and Science at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for 3 years, before founding and directing the Center for Creation Research and teaching biology at Truett McConnell University for the last 7 years. His fieldwork has included research in early Flood rocks in the Death Valley region, late Flood rocks in Wyoming, and post-Flood caves in Tennessee.

As a four-year-old, Dr. Ross first discovered dinosaurs listening to a read-along recording about prehistoric animals. He then went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Earth Science from the Pennsylvania State University. Continuing his studies, he earned a Master of Science degree in Vertebrate Paleontology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and finally earned a PhD in Environmental Science (Geoscience) from the University of Rhode Island. He currently serves as Associate Professor of Geology and Director of the Center for Creation Studies at Liberty University.
Paul Garner is a full-time researcher and lecturer for Biblical Creation Trust. He has a master’s degree in geoscience from University College London, where he specialized in paleobiology.
