Wayne R. Spencer
I have been a Christian
since 1979. I grew up in a home in which my Mother was
a strong Christian and my father (deceased since 1986) was an atheist.
I grew
up
thinking
as an agnostic; I concluded it was impossible to know if there was a
God.
While an
undergraduate student at Kansas State University, I had personal
problems that
prompted
me to get a lot of psychological counseling. In spite of some changes it
produced,
I couldn't
find permanent healing without Christ. Counseling that doesn't
acknowledge
God or
the reality of sin and its affects on us cannot be very effective.
People
can help people
but God changes people. In Christ people find the truth that's
true
for all people,
forgiveness of sins, God's perfect love, and power to change. I've
experienced
the
reality of God's care and have seen him change my life dramatically.
I graduated from Kansas
State
University in Physics in 1982 and completed
my Masters degree in Physics, graduating from Wichita State University
in
July 1994.
I also studied education for two years at Emporia State University,
also
in Kansas.
During my time as a college student I was involved with Inter-Varsity
Christian
Fellowship at three different universities, including being chapter
president
one year.
As a teacher, I taught middle school and high school level math and
science
for four
years at a Christian School in the Wichita, Kansas area. I've taught
some
college level
classes and have taught high school math in an all black Christian
School
in in South
Dallas.
As Vice-Chairman
of
the Mid-Kansas Branch chapter of the Bible-
Science Association, I was very active speaking on creationism and
organizing
conferences in the Wichita, Kansas area. I produced the video, "Wonders
of
the
Solar System," a creationist program emphasizing worship and have
appeared on
television on the "Origins" TV program as well as the "Revolution Against Evolution"
Christian TV programs. I have preached in churches, spoke at youth conferences,
spoke to home
school groups, and spoke in secular settings as well. I presented technical
papers at the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth International Conferences on
Creationism in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1994, 98, 2003, and 2008. These papers have related
to the
origin of the solar system, impacts from
space and Noah's Flood, and heat generation in
Jupiter's moon Io. I have published articles in the Bible Science
News, the Creation
Research Society Quarterly, Creation magazine, and in Journal of Creation (formerly TJ)
the technical journal
from Creation Ministries International. I also provided
some graphics
for technical illustrations in the book "Voyage to the Planets" published
by
the Institute for
Creation Research, authored by Dr. Richard Bliss. I have occassionally written web
articles for Answers in Genesis and CreationMinistries International.
I also have approximately
10 years experience in
the PC software industry, in technical
support and software testing. I do library research on the solar system,
astronomy,
Earth
impacts, intelligent design, creationist geology, and other issues. I occassionally teach various
groups on creation topics.
I enjoy personally responding to questions from individuals who
have seen my
web
site or my newsletter. I publish a free e-mail newsletter on a quarterly
basis called Creation
Answers. It has short
articles
on creation/evolution issues written at a
basic level. To request to be added to the
newsletter
