Ryan Thompson

Ryan Thompson is an independent creation scientist in the fields of structural geology and geo-eschatology. As a student he was involved in surveying fossil fish in the Green River Basin with Loma Linda University and worked for three summers with Dr. Art Chadwick at Southwestern Adventist University’s dinosaur dig. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2007 and a Master of Science degree in geoscience from Colorado State University in 2010. His thesis topic was the structural history of the Wind River Basin in Wyoming. Over the following decade he worked for the petroleum industry in both the Rocky Mountain basins and the Permian of West Texas. During this time he compiled and published data from the western United States supporting the concept of a single mountain-building event and its subsequent collapse. Single catastrophic events such as this, spanning much of the geologic record, are consistent with a global flood and catastrophic plate tectonic models.

He is now an online science teacher and the author of Revelation’s Geology: A Believing Geoscientist’s Investigation of Prophesied Catastrophe & Rescue which is an in-depth look at impacts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods described in the scriptures as occurring at the time of the end.
