| Introduction | Lowell is a happily married father of four girls, ages 9, 7, 3 and <1. He grew up mostly in the Midwest, but he, his wife and children have settled down in a friendly neighborhood on the side of a mountain in Northern Utah, where they usually get enough snow to keep him shoveling through the Winters. He graduated with a degree in German, but now works as a software engineer for LexisNexis, where he has been with the same team of great people for most of the last 12 years. I suppose you could say he doesn't like changing jobs much. He's a political independent with fairly centrist views and some libertarian leanings. He's also a life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loves his family and the great outdoors, but often struggles to reconcile those loves and other interests with the inordinate amount of time he tends to spend glued to a computer screen. |

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
Of course not! That would be absurd. They were obviously created by an intelligent designer who personally formed them to fulfill a specific purpose. My views on human evolution, however, may be a bit more nuanced...
