Lights before the Sun: Reason, Rocks & Religion

While I was searching for trilobites, my daughter Holly stumbled upon a vivid red stain on a piece of discarded shale. This six-inch-long fossil, with its Venus flytrap-like head and segmented body, was unlike anything we'd seen before. It was a swimming, predatory creature. Terry sent it to Professor Dick Robison at the University of Kansas, and later, Dr. Sue Halgedahl from the University of Utah helped us identify it by finding its fishlike tail. We named it Skeemella Clavula (Latin for "clubhead"). This creature's unique characteristics sparked my curiosity about its purpose in creation and set me on a path to reconcile my faith with the findings of science.

I love science, and the Hebrew language. This book is a marriage of science and religion, showing how both prove the existence of a light before the sun in the days of creation.
