Notes**It needs to be discussed that the author of this book is a “Young Earther” – following the belief that the bible is historically accurate and that a day in the bible = a day on earth. This makes the earth relatively young, as opposed to being millions of years old such as an “Old Earther” would believe. This will come out throughout his books.
