For over fifty years, Floyd Glidewell has been fascinated by how the universe came into existence and how life evolved, and has been gathering scientific data to support his ideas and contentions. He believes many people would like to know how evolution works but have given up hope of ever being able to understand because most of the available information on the subject is disconnected, highly technical and complex. Settled Science is his attempt to simplify these complex topics so non-scientific readers can understand.

Glidewell earned a B.S. in chemistry from Virginia Commonwealth University and has spent his life studying the formation of the universe and related disciplines. He owned and operated a chemical supply business until his retirement in 2005. He has four children, four grandchildren and makes his home in Chesterfield, Virginia.
