Dr Skipper is active with the Creation Study Group 2 in Greenville SC. James Kennedy (Coral Ridge Ministries) on a DVD, where he showed the link between abortion and other social issues and evolutionary dogma. Skip became particularly interested in the creation-evolution debate in the early 1990s after hearing Dr D. Dr Skipper sees no conflict between believing the Bible and his scientific research and knowledge.
He says, “There is no way I can work hard enough or be good enough to merit eternal life.” He totally accepts the Bible’s teaching on Jesus’ supernatural conception, resurrection, ascension, as well as creation in six days, the global Flood of Noah’s day, etc. He recognizes that he could not earn this salvation it is undeserved. Skip got saved at the age of 30 when he turned away from his sins and recognized that Jesus died on his behalf to take the punishment he deserved. Dr Skipper’s research includes the role of beneficial soil organisms in plant growth and also the degradation of pollutants and pesticides. I met Dr Skipper when I spoke at the Creation Study Group meeting in Greenville SC last year. He was also honoured to be elected President of Clemson University’s Faculty Senate. His main field of research and teaching concerns microbes that benefit plant growth. from North Carolina State University, M.S.
