Dr. Butterworth has an earned master’s degree in education and a master’s and doctorate in Biblical Studies. He has served as curator of Springfield’s Biblical Archaeology Museum. For many years he has given meetings and seminars on the subject of creation from a Biblical perspective and shows that true science and the evidence available is in harmony with the historical record of the Bible.

Recently (2009) Rod has had the privilege of marrying a lovely Christian lady by the name of Linda. In 2004, Joanna, his first wife of many years went to be with the Lord. He feels greatly blessed that God has allowed him another companion with whom to share life and ministry.
