Johan Smit is a qualified geologist and consulting hydrogeologist. Growing up in a Christian home, he faced a challenge to his faith when he began his studies in Earth Science, which contradicted the clear Biblical teaching of Creation in Genesis. It was only after graduating that he encountered creationist material, sparking a journey of self-study, discovery, and a profound revelation about the vital role of worldviews in science.

Dr Emile du Plessis, a retired veterinary surgeon, first completed a BSc degree with majors in Zoology and Physiology before earning his BVSc at Onderstepoort. His veterinary career spanned four decades, including 20 years dedicated primarily to farm animals and another 20 years focused on companion animals in the Western Cape. Initially, his academic studies led him toward an evolutionary worldview. However, following his conversion to Christianity, he began to recognize the rationality of God's Creation. He came to see how science, coupled with plain common sense, aligns with and supports divine Creation and a Biblical worldview. Emile has been actively engaged in apologetics ministry for 18 years. He also leads tour groups to the West Coast Fossil Park, where he provides insightful explanations and demonstrations of the compelling evidence for Creation and Noah's flood, with a particular emphasis on fossils and dinosaurs.
