Thanks, Robert! I'm so glad you like my art! I'm very into cosmology and studying anthropology. I studied anthropology in collage and--if I'd finished--I'm sure I would have leaned towards the cultural but the physiological is very intriguing. I read this interesting book by a Jewish theologian and scientist (I believe it was called: "The Fingerprint of God" or "Finding the Face of God"--I read, like, three at the same time, I can't remember). It was amazing watching him work through the Hebrew text of the Torah as he spoke about the varying theories of creation. He has this cool theory about the expanding universe. And another very stunning theory about the creation of man--one I'd never heard before and of course made me want to write a book with characters in that world.  The truth is we'll never know how all the pieces fit. That's part of the fun, trying to figure it all out. We're like kids playing with Legos, building the theories and then tearing them down again when they aren't fitting right. But God's way bigger than anything we could ever imagine. I totally know that Dinosaurs lived at the same time as man. Where else did the stories of Dragons come from?  I really hope you find one! Wouldn't that be totally awesome!

Fingerprint of God was written by Hugh Ross. There's also The Signature of God which was written by Grant Jeffrey. I've read the second, but not the first.

Ah, yes, it was "The Hidden Face of God" by Gerald L. Schroeder. He wrote another good one called, "The Science of God." Cool stuff.
