Abstract
Schopf is an internationally renowned paleobiologist/geologist whose work has been recognized by medals from the National Science Board, National Academy of Sciences, International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life, Alexander von Humboldt Senior Research Prize, and two Guggenheim fellowships. He is generally regarded as the "father" of modern paleobiology. He has also achieved notoriety for his outspoken criticisms of both young earth creationism and NASA claims for life on Mars. Readers of this book will better understand why all of the above statements are true.
