One would think that healers who use more than medicine along with their medical training, could practice without fear of exposure. Such is not the case. The book Cowgirls and Dragons explores the lives of people who do these things and who are forced into hiding because of it.

Evolution and creation are in a spiritual battle. Evolution scientists ignore, dismiss, and unequivocally reject creation out of hand - "It is not science or fact as evolution is," they say. However, Nullifying God shows that random Darwinian evolution does not have the direct evidence required to support the claim. Not only that, but it provides contrary evidence that evolution is biologically impossible.
