Dr Carter was converted to Christ at an early age, but did not know what to do with
the theory of evolution. He always knew what he wanted to believe, but had no way
to express what he was thinking and no evidence to support his views. In his freshman
year of college, he was exposed to the information for creation for the first time
and soon after adopted it as his modus operandi. He says he felt a tremendous
joy when he realized his science and his religion were no longer at odds. This joy
(and, he says, Creation magazine and the Journal of Creation)
enabled him to get through the in-depth evolutionary training of his undergraduate
and graduate programs with his faith intact.
He obtained a BS in Applied Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in
1992. He then spent four years teaching high school biology, chemistry, physics
and electronics before going to the University of Miami to obtain his PhD in Marine
Biology. He successfully completed this program in 2003 with a dissertation on “Cnidarian
Fluorescent Proteins.” While in Miami, he studied the genetics of pigmentation
in corals and other invertebrates, designed and built an aquaculture facility for
Caribbean corals, performed well over 500 SCUBA dives, many of them at night, and
licensed a spin-off product of his research (a patented fluorescent protein)
to a biotech company.
He is currently a senior scientist and speaker for CMI-USA
in Atlanta, Georgia, where he lives with his wife, Leanne, and children and is currently
researching human genetics and other issues related to biblical creation.
