Having recently been through the mill trying to find a publisher for a
theistic evolutionary manuscript, I can assure you that the conservative
Christian publishers will not publish anything that does not follow the YEC
line. This is not just an idiological problem. It is a marketing problem.
Nationwide, how many Christian parents (or really what percentage) do you
think want to buy a book which tells their children they are a reptiles
great-great-........great-grandson?
