Credentials

I don’t make a big deal about my credentials for this reason:

Your decision on where to spend eternity should not be based on my credentials, you’re accountable for your own outcome.

However, I am making bold claims that the commonly accepted building blocks of modern science are, in fact, merely assumptions. Most people react by assuming that I am ignorant, uneducated and basically, an idiot. Also, the fact is that my qualifications and publications are a matter of public record.

Books I have written or contributed to:
