Donald Wesley Patten was born on 1929 in Conrad, Montana. He attended the University of Montana (1947-1950) and the University of Washington (1950-1952, 1960-1961.) In addition to having a minor in History, he has two degrees in Geography, the B.A. and the M.A., both from the University of Washington.
He is a veteran of the Korean War. Married, he is the father of one daughter and six sons, and the proud grandfather of 13. He is the founder of both Microfilm Service Company (Seattle and Portland), and Patten Corporation (Seattle). Recently retired, he serves as Chairman of the Board of both firms. His hobbies include basketball, chess and gardening.
His two major publications include:
- The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch (1966)
- The Long Day ofJoshua and Six other Catastrophes (1973)
This last work was co-authored with Ronald Hatch and Loren Steinhauer. He has also served as editor of the six-volume series entitled Symposium on Creation. (1968-1977.)
He is a regular contributor to the periodical Catastrophism and Ancient History, and he has been an occasional contributor to The Creation Research Society Quarterly, Kronos and
Aeon. Among his essays are the following:
- (Catastrophism and Ancient History)
- "The Scars of Mars, Parts I and II"
- "The Origin and Decay of the Earth's geomagnetic Field"
- "The Flood of Mars" (The Scars of Mars Part II)
- (Creation Research Society Quarterly)
- "A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Gigantism and Longevity"
- (Creation Research Society Quarterly)
- "Symposium on the Origin of Mountain Systems"
- (Kronos and Aeon)
- "The Organization of the Solar System, Parts I and II"
The last issue published by Aeon is co-authored with Samuel R., Windsor, an engineer. It proposes a catastrophic model of capture of the planets by the Sun and also a theory as to how the planets acquired spin rates, by pairs as it so happens. It also addresses the themes of the shrinking Sun and the Sun's acquisition of spin. Part I of this two-part essay is a refutation of the widely-taught nebular hypothesis.
