Dr David Menton

Dr David Menton

Creationist Anatomist (USA)

“Dr. Menton presented at Mt. Hood Community College (Oregon), and two evolution profs were firing questions after each of David’s 40-minute presentations. When most of the audience had left, one of the students came up and said, referring to the profs, ‘Those guys were playing T-ball against the Yankees (Dr. Menton).’

“I love that comment.”

—Craig H., Portland, Oregon

NOTE: For those unfamiliar with T-ball, it is a children’s version of baseball where there is no pitcher; instead, the batter simply hits the ball off a 2-foot high tee—like a long golf tee—so that it is very easy to hit.
