I have no formal training or education in either biology or theology. I spent three years studying physics and math, then changed my major to engineering, and enjoyed a career in that field. Since I don’t have credentials in the areas I read and write about, it seems fair to tell you which books and authors have had the biggest effects in shaping my views.
