Dr David Catchpoole
David received his B.Ag.Sc. (Hons) from the University of Adelaide and a
Ph.D. from the University of New England (New South Wales). His Ph.D.
investigated nitrogen transfer between tree legumes, associated grass and ruminant
animals (goats). This was undertaken in Indonesia as part of a joint Australia-Indonesia
project in forage research, aimed at improving the quality and availability of animal
feed.
David subsequently worked for the Queensland Department of Primary Industries as
a plant physiologist. He focused primarily on plant nutrition of tropical
fruit trees (especially mango), and varietal selection. He has also worked as a
science educator at James Cook University, which included lecturing in tropical
horticulture.
David was once an ardent atheistic evolutionist, before being challenged to
look critically at the problems of evolution, and the scientific evidence for creation
and the Bible. He now works full-time for Creation Ministries International
(CMI) in Brisbane, Australia and is a
popular speaker having lectured all over Australia and
across the world. He has spoken widely on the issues of creation, in particular
their importance to evangelism. He is co-author of The Creation Answers Book, and contributed
to the book, The Big Argument. David is a co-editor and writer
for Creation magazine, and also contributes articles for CMI's popular
website, creation.com.
