Skip Tilton served in the US Navy for six
years as a sonar technician on board a nuclear submarine. He graduated from Bob Jones University with a B.A. in Bible and a minor in Pulpit Speech, and later earned a Master of
Ministry degree. As you see, his credentials as a master of evolutionary
biology are impeccable. They should be, for Tilton travels around giving
speeches on how Darwin was wrong (such as introducing this one).
Tilton is a prominent member of Answers in
Genesis (AiG) and Creation Ministries International,
and he played a pivotal role in the construction of the AiG Creation Museum.
You can download or listen to a talk about the creation of the “museum” here.
I don’t necessarily recommend it, though.
Diagnosis: A minor cogwheel in the big,
bizarre engine of denialism, Tilton seems to be dutifully doing his part
without a hint of rationality, knowledge or connection to reality behind it.
His personal impact is probably modest, but the organization he represents is a
threat.
