Mennonite Computer Scientist

The Mennonite branch of the protestant reformation sought a return to the beliefs of the early church as recorded in the New Testament. They taught non-violence, baptism upon belief, and direct access to God or "the priesthood of the believer". I was raised Mennonite and then acquired a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a PhD in Computer Science from Caltech. These two beautiful threads of science and religion have blended in some unusual ways. During 2006 I wrote the novel "Darwin's Dove" to present this fusion. Darwinian evolution turns out to explain Christianity far better than it explains atheism.
