The dean of science programs is neuroscientist Dr. David DeWitt who has over 25 years of experience including nine years as a department chair of Biology and Chemistry.

DeWitt gives glory to God as Creator and is passionate about discussing origins. 

“I am so excited to be able to talk about the evidence for (God’s) design in the human body, and the wisdom of God that is revealed in what He has made, right down to the cellular and molecular level,” DeWitt said.

DeWitt has taught at the Institute for Creation Research and written articles for Answers in Genesis. He is the author of the book, “Unraveling the Origins Controversy: Science and the Bible Confirm Creation.”
