With an education in physics (B.S. physics, University of Alabama and M.S. physics, Texas Christian University) he was an Air Force officer and worked on nuclear weapon development at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Later in industry he worked on nuclear reactor development and nuclear energy research projects.
Attacks on science education by states (Alabama’s infamous insert into biology textbooks) and the government (Bush Administration rejection of Darwinian evolution) led to a series of lectures on the conflicts of religion, science and government delivered at the University of California San Diego. These lectures were collected into a textbook, Jefferson’s Scissors, Solving the Conflicts of Religion with Science and Democracy. His latest book, Thank Evolution for God, Nature and God’s Creations and Designs, addresses the Christian dilemma how to accept Darwinian evolution and retain their religion.
Lou Perry is presently an Emeritus at the University of California San Diego where he continues to lecture. He lives in La Jolla, California where he enjoys tennis and traveling with his family.view less
