John R. Baumgardner is a geophysicist, young earth creationist, intelligent design supporter and Christian.〔〕 ==Biography== He became a Christian at 26 and achieved notoriety for efforts to prove scientifically the Noachian flood. He created a computer simulation called ''Terra'' to model the flood.〔 In 1985, Baumgardner joined the controversial amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt and salvage expert David Fasold to Durupınar, Turkey for an expedition recounted in Fasold's ''The Ark of Noah'' to locate the biblical ship's remains. Baumgardner did not support Wyatt and Fasold claims to have found a boat-shaped 'object' which was the Ark. He argued that the object was a natural formation.〔〕 In 1997, ''US News and World Report'' described him as "the world's pre-eminent expert in the design of computer models for geophysical convection".〔 In 2005, Baumgardner began to work with John Sanford to develop a numerical simulation program called Mendel's Accountant, which seeks to accurately model the accumulation of mutations in a genome. This research was then used to test the validity of the neo-Darwinian theory, exposing as he says the "un-reality of the primary axiom". Baumgardner has a B.S. from Texas Tech University, an M.S. from Princeton University, and a Ph.D. in geophysics and space physics from the University of California at Los Angeles.〔 He worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and in 2002 joined the staff of the Institute for Creation Research.〔 He is a member of the Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Baumgardner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
