      Charles B. Thaxton (born 1939) is a proponent of special creation who went on to become one of the first intelligent design authors.

      Biography


      Thaxton earned a doctorate in physical chemistry from Iowa State University. He went on to complete post-doctorate programs in the history of science at Harvard University and the molecular biology laboratories of Brandeis University.
      Thaxton has co-authored several books, including The Mystery of Life's Origin and The Soul of Science. In The Mystery of Life's Origin, Thaxton argues for "Special Creation by a creator beyond the cosmos", and asserts that Special Creation holds "that the source that produced life was intelligent".
      He was the editor of the first edition of the intelligent design textbook, Of Pandas and People. The book was featured prominently in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District and the sequence of drafts that show the transition between the terms "creation" and "creator" to "design", "designer", and "intelligent design", proved important in the judge's decision.
      Thaxton stated that he preferred intelligent design to creationism because he "wasn’t comfortable with the typical vocabulary that for the most part creationists were using because it didn’t express what I was trying to do. They were wanting to bring God into the discussion, and I was wanting to stay within the empirical domain and do what you can do legitimately there".
      Thaxton and his wife, Carole Thaxton, founded the "KONOS Academy," which is a private Christian school in Tyrone, Georgia, United States. Konos celebrated its 20-year anniversary in December 2021. He also teaches at Charles University in Prague.
