(Bob) Schadewald (February 19, 1943 in Rogers, MN – March 12, 2000)[1][2] was an author, researcher, and former president of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE).
He attended at least a dozen national creationism conferences, interviewed Immanuel Velikovsky, investigated perpetual motion machines, and got thrown out of the International Flat Earth Research Society for his "spherical" tendencies.
The interview can be accessed in the original article in FATE magazine,[4] or in the collection of Schadewald's writings Worlds of Their Own (Xlibris, Philadelphia, 2008).
It consisted of about a thousand volumes advocating various unorthodox ideas: hollow-earth, geocentricity, creationism, Velikovskyism, perpetual motion, racism, antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, flying saucers, bizarre religions, and so forth, as well as the world's most extensive collection of 19th and 20th century flat-earth literature.
Schadewald contended, they concur on a number of issues, including the authority of the scriptures as a scientific guide to the natural world, the limitations of a theory-led approach, the duplicity of conventional scientists, and the impossibility of reconciling orthodox science with the Bible.
