Just like the Demonrats.
John J Grebe

| Made important contributions to the plastics industry, including the development of polystyrene, Styrofoam, and Saran plastics. Grebe personally held 64 patents at Dow Chemical Co. in electro-chemistry, power generation, synthesis of organic compounds, and air conditioning. He was honored with the Hyatt Award for his work on the production of pure styrene and its polymerization. For the federal government, Grebe designed atomic reactors for submarines. Grebe joined Dow in 1921 -- immediately after receiving his BS degree in physics from the Case School of Applied Science -- and remained with the company for 41 years. In addition to his work as the founder and director of the Dow Physical Research Laboratory, he was a pioneer scientist in the field of nuclear and chemical research. He also made major contributions in the simplification of plastics processing and automatic control equipment. |

Following in Dr. Dow's footsteps was another key scientist, John Grebe. He focused on converting batch processes to continuous processes – a major breakthrough leading to low-cost production – making possible the broad use of chemicals and plastics.
Grebe also hired Dow's first woman chemist, Sylvia Stoesser. The inhibitor she helped develop led to the successful commercialization of high-quality styrene and polystyrene.
One of Grebe's associates was Ralph Wiley, who in the 1930s made a chance discovery that led to the development of the SARAN family of plastic resins.
People like Dow, Grebe, Stoesser, Wiley, and their counterparts essentially made Dow Chemical.
Grebe was a creationist.
What does plastic wrap have to do with evolution?
That is what you guys don't get. Being a "scientist" is not the same thing as understanding evolution. You have to be an expert in the field, to have a valid opinion or at least understand something about the field.
Not all opinions are valid. Only informed opinions are valid. Thinking that a misinterpretation of the Bible informs opinion on biology is the mistake.
But...but...he didn't understand *evolution*. :)
Just another Luddite, charalatan feeding at the government trough.
