The evidence for creation featured strongly in her conversion. If there is still a need for contributors she might be willing to submit something for this title :).

Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as informed as yourself; however, one of our authors, Dr. Carl Werner, has researched the fossil record extensively and provides this answer to item 3 about there being no flowering plants in the Cambrian layer. "Modern animals are found in all fossil layers from the oldest layer by evolution standards called the Ediacaran to the youngest layer. A fossil from the Ediacaran is on page 93 of my first book (Evolution: The Grand Experiment). Ediacaran is considered older than and is found below Cambrian. "Cambrian layers contain only salt water creatures. Don't be confused by all this because I will show in Vol. 4 that these layers are problematic and this system does not work. For example, there are areas in the world where the lowest layers of rocks have trees 10 feet in diameter, but evolution scientists conveniently do not consider them the oldest layers, even though at this location they lay on top of the basement granite rocks." Regarding "Your Guide to the Grand Canyon," if you'll provide a mailing address (here or via email) I'll gladly send you a free copy. My pleasure. LH3:

It's titled "Your Guide to the Grand Canyon (True North Series) and details the multiple lava layers, canyons within canyons, layers of different rocks and how those were, in fact, created by the global flood. There are sample pages on the Look Inside file at either http://amazon.com or our website, http://nlpg.com.

The Grand Canyon is an excellent example of why a global flood is impossible. What with its multiple lava layers, canyons buried within the canyon, the layers of different rocks, the meanders, the angular uncomformities, they ALL point to there being no flood. There is ZERO empirical evidence there was a global flood, and mountainous amounts of evidence there could not have been. Stop believing everything you read in a book and examine the evidence for yourself! What you're doing is becoming victim to confirmation bias by finding books that confirm your worldview and going "Ah-ha! I knew I was right!". This kind of fooling yourself and perpetuating willful ignorance is no way to go through life, and certainly not something we should be teaching our kids! best, Leonard Robert, there’s NOTHING excellent about a book that promotes complete nonsense and ignores evidence.

A recent article in Time magazine by Lev Grossman says publishers are increasingly using the web to monitor the buzz and interest of unknown authors and books, then offering contracts to those that generate widespread comments.

Its just about accomplished that. The system of agents, major houses, and (YES) mega-bookstores have condemmed it to death by ruling against new ideas and new authors. May it RIP.
