About the author
Born in Havelock, New Brunswick, George McCready Price was a Seventh-day Adventist teacher and prolific author who spent much of his career writing about science and religion. He studied at Battle Creek College, later earned degrees from Loma Linda College and Pacific Union College, and taught in Adventist schools in Canada, England, and the United States.
Price is best known for arguing against evolution and for promoting what came to be called flood geology—the idea that much of the earth's rock record was formed rapidly during Noah's Flood. Although his views were widely rejected by mainstream geologists, his writing had a lasting influence on later creationist movements.
He published many books and articles over several decades, combining religious conviction with a strong interest in natural history. Today he is remembered mainly as an important early voice in twentieth-century creationism and Adventist intellectual life.
