Notable faculty
John Heffner is a Young Earth Creationist and many-time co-host to Carl Baugh television program Creation in the 21st Century who currently teaches Pre-calculus at Kilgore and chairs its math department. He has risen to notoriety recently as some popular skeptics have criticized his understanding of mathematical application to the real world as lacking, flawed, and overly cavalier, in particular his use of the Malthusian growth model, which he uses to teach creationism to his audience.
