Kenneth Deaton grew up in Columbus, Georgia, in a sea of conservative religion. Six days after his high school graduation, he began Marine Boot Camp at Parris Island, S.C. and proudly achieved the rank of Corporal. Thereafter, Kenneth graduated from the University of Georgia and, then, the Medical College of Georgia. After a residency in internal medicine, he spent four years in the USAF MC and then took a fellowship in hematology and oncology at Boston University Hospital. Kenneth practiced his specialties until his retirement in 2013. Kenneth realized his non-belief in the supernatural in 1972, but thereafter he searched for evidence of this fantastic belief. His search failed and he remains a contented agnostic atheist.
