Jeremy Michel
Jeremy was astounded to learn scientific truths that support the accounts in scripture such as a Universal flood, Noah’s ark, and the Book of Mormon history. He loves truth and was shocked to learn that propaganda for Macro-evolution were taught in school with little to no supportive evidence. He strongly believes these lies are undermining faith and contributing to societal turmoil and destruction of the family.
He loves his wife and 4 children under 11 years old and hopes to teach them of their divine identity as Children of God. In addition dragon and dinosaur research have been a fun way to support validity in scripture and explore the world around with his family.
He is also the author of the book DInosaurs in Scripture. this book is available on his website, dinosaursinscripture.com

Nathan Richardson
Nate is a 2019 BYU graduate. Nate grew up with a love for the gospel, and a fascination in science. Eventually he became a professional science teacher. Nate’s studies lead him to conclude that the theological implications of the gospel and evolution theory are not compatible. He also learned that the scientific evidence for evolution is built on a shaky foundation. Nate enjoys sharing research and books he has authored from his website, RichardsonStudies.com, which features research on the science/religion topic as one of it’s foundational elements.

Vince Newmeyer
Vincent Newmeyer was a curious child from the start, and has been a science buff his entire life. He attended BYU to study Engineering. Vince ran his own computer consulting company, designed and built solar power installations, and engaged in electronic technical work.
Vince took an intense interest in evolutionary thought and the challenges to it in 1998 and has studied it deeply since that time. As a result of his research, and the disconnect with the facts as he saw them, he started “The Catalyst Group” to bring to light the science that has been ignored and all too often eschewed. Vince sat on the Utah State science standard’s review committee and voiced his opposition to the 6-8 grade standards as they pushed a biased view of certain evolutionary paradigms. The standard were unfortunately adopted by our State Board of Education. He also sat on the K-5 & 9-12 standard’s review committee and is now leading the opposition to the materialist dogma they push.
Vince started the ScienceFreedom.org website to help that effort as it relates to public schools, the lds.ScienceElevated.com, ScienceElevated.com websites, and the YouTube Channels “LDS Science Elevated” and “Science Elevated.” These site are designed to help parents with children in the home, home schools, private schools, and for others curious about this topic.
As an amateur geologist and science enthusiast, he has done extensive reading and researching on topics in geology, biology, physics, astronomy, and earth sciences.

Dr. Daniel Burdette
As a dentist, Dr. Burdett spends his days working with the human body at a microscopic level. His teachings often stem from a sense of wonder at biological complexity. He invites audiences to look at the “fine-tuning” of human systems—like how the jaw, teeth, and nerves work together in perfect harmony—as evidence that life is the result of intentional, purposeful design rather than accidental processes.
