The following is a list of the "experts" which appeared on "The Incredible
Discovery of Noah's Ark," which aired on CBS on February 20, 1993.
I'd appreciate assistance in identifying these people and their credentials.

Also, if anybody in Utah would like to look into the ownership and finances
of Sun International Pictures for me, please contact me via email.

(BTW, for those interested in this subject--David Balsiger's other
projects in the past have included putting out the "Biblical Scorecard"
on political candidates and ghostwriting Mike Warnke's fraudulent
"autobiography," _The Satan Seller_.  Balsiger was the "Chief Researcher"
for "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark.")
