Houston, We Have a Problem !

Kentucky Education Commissioner finalist Dennis W. Cheek was shortchanged in the public comments department the other day when KSN&C searched the nations news outlets.

But today, we're checking scholarship. It is in the academic realm where Cheek lives. After all, he's got more degrees than a thermometer (one of them a Ph D in Theology) and works for a foundation. It's the very stuff of influence.

Most of the scholarly listings are interesting tech 3.0 geek stuff as befits a wonk of his calibur.

But then there's a big blinking red light shining on at least one of his titles. (See if you can guess which ones.)

Unless there are two different authors named Dennis W. Cheek, we've got a problem.

I think I know the first two questions the board will ask him in tomorrows interviews:

1st Question: Good morning, Dr. Cheek. Did you sleep well?

2nd Question: Are you the author of "THE CREATIONIST AND NEO-DARWINIAN VIEWS CONCERNING THE ORIGIN OF THE ORDER PRIMATES...?"

"THE CREATIONIST AND NEO-DARWINIAN VIEWS CONCERNING THE ORIGIN OF THE ORDER PRIMATES COMPARED AND CONTRASTED: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS
DENNIS W. CHEEK
"After some consideration of the philosophical cautions which should be observed in any scientific discussion, the fossil evidence having to do with primates is reviewed. It is concluded that there is no real evidence to show either that the primates evolved from anything else, or that man evolved among them. The Scriptural view, that man and these other creatures were created separately, is fully as much in accord with the evidence, and is more credible on other grounds."

NOTE: The Creation Research Society is a professional organization of trained scientists and interested laypersons who are firmly committed to scientific special creation. The Society was organized in 1963 by a committee of ten like-minded scientists, and has grown into an organization with worldwide membership. One of the Society's primary functions is the Publication of a quarterly "peer-reviewed" journal.
All members of the Creation Research Society must subscribe to the following statement of belief:
1. The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths.
2. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have accomplished only changes within the original created kinds.
3. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect.
4. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Search for "Darwin Doubters"+"Dennis W. Cheek" and find report on 2007 Ph.D Dissertation on "Thinking Theologically about Technology: A Framework for Analysis and Decision Making with Special Reference to intelligent Transportation Systems" along with preaching career.

Also see www.asa3.org for book reviews on multiple faith+science topics by Cheek.

This candidate is a complex guy!

Thanks for the tip.

I have written to Cheek for verification but this will all probably have to wait until tomorrow morning. I'll soon be off to the Legends game.
