Commentary on the Endless Dispute Between Evolution and Creationism
Jason Rosenhouse received
his PhD in mathematics
from Dartmouth College in 2000.
He subsequently spent three years as a post-doc at
Kansas State University.

led to his unhealthy obsession with issues related
to evolution and creationism.
Currently he is an Associate Professor of
Mathematics at James Madison University,
in Harrisonburg, VA.
