Mr. Snake,
my name is Brad McFall and my Grandfather was from South Dakota who was the first person to find the western hognose snake and the rainbow snake in Illionis who studied genetics and later taught in western NY from whom I got a very good education about snakes as a teen-ager. I started a 4-H Herpetology Club to continue my interest before I went on to Cornell when I ran into a lot of 'will' about creation and evolution that use "kids" had already discussed in the club.
As for some information about creation and evolution or young and old earth for instance, my grandfather left the farm and "simple faith" of his family for the east and a belief in evolution that my mother did not continue though she likes to think so. I have been studying it for years not just getting it taught to me and I would like to let you know that it was in the 30s when my grandfather's first wife died in child birth that while Stan wanted to 'return' "to the simple faith of (my) family" he could not being in that muddle and so reached to evolution and toxic nature of kidneys to explain the death. He later re-married and the tension of children from two blood lines continued to be perceptible to me a generation later which I used to discriminate herpetology from ornithology no matter the ichthyology but because much of c/e or e/c is so personal with me many people still do not understand the criticism experience I bring . Hope this helps and welcome aboard.
