James received his bachelor’s degree in geology from the University of Texas in Arlington. He is passionate about revealing God’s power and majesty through the tools of astronomy. James uses telescopes and the night sky to help build up the faith of the Church. Originally a theistic evolutionist, he discovered his faith in secular opinion and old ages was inconsistent with a biblical worldview. He has since become a biblical creationist and believes there is a great falling away within the church due to professing Christians supporting atheistic evolutionary ideas. James’s hobbies include, hiking, backpacking, and studying ancient civilizations and their historical context to the Bible. James has been married to his wife Rebekah for over 30 years and has three children.
