    Wendee,
    WOW! My reaction is that you should have included sociology, for which
    Moberg is the source I think of. History of science is also tops, IMO, to
    what you say. Indiana U. has a strong program. There are probably others.
    Contact Sara Miles and Ted Davis. I don't see work in religion, biology
    or psychology being that central to your project.

    Anyone have any insight as to what universities might have a PhD program
    that would fit what I'm looking for? Anyone have names of professors in
    related lines of study? Also, anyone familiar with Princeton which is
    where I'm very interested in going?

    What I want to study: I'd like to study, and eventually become a
    Professor in, the study of evolution-creation, essentially. I'd like to
    explore the history of creation-evolution conflicts, how and why
    religious people believe what they do, how people change beliefs, how
    people get lure dinto believing some very odd things and how these things
    can take over very large segments of society, and dangers of not being
    open to new thought. Obviously these are many things. I'm sure much is
    done on them previously, and I'm interested in breaking new ground.

    I'm not sure if this would fall into a PhD in Religion, Psychology (of
    Learning), History of Science, Evolutionary Biology, or some odd
    combination.

    Thanks for any insight, Wendee
