Wayne Frair, PhD (1926-fl. 1946-29 Jan 2015) became a Christian while serving in the US Navy during World War II. From that date forward, he always suspected life did not come from the "primordial soup" as his secular professors insisted. He served as President of the Creation Research Society from 1986 through 1993, and sat on its Board of Directors until 2004. His most significant contribution to creation science was the development of baraminology, the study of created kinds. He testified in the trial of McLean v. Arkansas (1981) He left his testimony about getting a higher education in secular institutions at the sites of Answers in Genesis and Creation Ministries International.

In one university, my freshman zoology professor presented as virtual fact what was Darwin’s main proof for evolution—embryology! Years later I returned, and this professor then was an anti-evolutionist. At another university I effectively was jettisoned by a professor strongly antagonistic toward religion. In Rutgers University my major (Ph.D.) professor encouraged students who effectively could challenge even widely-held interpretations—including macroevolution! Nowadays, even though there is huge opposition to the concept of divine creation, the best understanding of current data is still that variation has occurred only within (not between) the created types (or ‘kinds’).

On 29 January 2015 Dr. Frair suffered a heart attack. He went home to the Lord at 9:30 p.m. that day, in Morristown, New Jersey, USA.
