From evolution, to the flood, to little-known facts we often can't figure out, you will be amazed and impressed! Here is William T. Pelletier, Ph. D.  in his own words:

"I’m a mathematician who has spent over 50 years researching Bible-Science topics.  I have taught many classes on these issues, and have repeatedly debated evolutionist professors in university forums.  I specialize in explaining scientific issues from a Biblical base. I wrote a monthly newspaper column on Bible-Science topics for the The Woodside News for seven years from July 2005 through July 2012.

I have a Ph.D. in mathematics. Major career positions include
• University mathematics professor teaching undergraduate and graduate math courses at several universities.
• Software developer and analyst for a Fortune 100 company. Responsibilities included analyzing computer systems and developing CAD/CAM software to mathematically model automotive parts and design dies.
