John Corrigan Wells	Brief Biography Born John Corrigan Wells; now uses the legal name of Jonathan. Master of Religious Education (1978), Unification Theological Seminary. Chosen by his church to receive advanced academic religious education. Ph.D. (1986), Religious Studies, Yale with David Kelsey. Although Dr. Kelsey is a Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School, the Ph.D. was awarded by the Department of Religious Studies in Yale College (the equivalent of a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). Ph.D.(ca. 1994), California (Berkeley) with John Gerhardt. Although from 1995 to 1999 Wells repeated called himself, and let himself be billed as, a "developmental biology post-doc at UC-Berkeley", in reality he never performed post-doctoral research at Berkeley or anywhere else. Instead, he was a staff member of the Discovery Institute, and his "appointment" at Berkeley was an unpaid title arranged with the help of Phillip Johnson.

The sole purpose of this section is to demonstrate that Wells has misrepresented his motivations for seeking advanced degrees, and he has misrepresented his opposition to evolutionary biology as being intellectually-based, whereas in fact it is not.
