Leonard Brand is an American biologist, paleontologist, and Seventh-day Adventist creationist.[1] He is a professor and past chair of Loma Linda University Department of Earth and Biological Sciences.[2] Brand's most widely debated research was regarding fossil tracks at the Grand Canyon.[3]
As a Creationist, he teaches interventionism, a view of history that holds that there is intelligent intervention in history.[4] [5] His desire for respectful dialogue has been welcomed by advocates on both sides of the creation–evolution controversy. He challenges his fellow creationists to use caution when making scientific claims.
