Biography
Spann traces his interest in cosmology and catastrophism to 1975, when at the age of 16 his family moved to Decatur, Georgia, a few miles from the Fernbank Science Center. He spent a great deal of time at the center's planetarium events and among its science museum exhibits. Having become acquainted with the museum's curator, Spann asked for advice on a single topic that might serve for the History, Science, and Sociology term papers he had due that semester. The curator gave him a worn, yellowed paperback on the condition that he never reveal its source. Spann read the book within a few days; it was Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, which he credited with shaping his subsequent interest in catastrophist cosmology.
