Episode 149: Introducing Paul & Todd's BIG BOOK!

So what is this big breakthrough plateau achievement that we have done here, Paul? I think we've hinted in various places, hinted on the show and so forth, that we have been working on a book.

Yeah, we have indeed.

We have indeed.

It feels like we've been working on it forever.

You're telling me.

It's gone on far too long, yes.

We originally had this thing targeted to release at the 9th International Conference on Creationism, which was held in July of 2023.

We're a little late.

Yeah, we're literally now getting ready for the next ICC.

And based on the progress that we made, I don't think we're going to make it for that ICC either.

We're going to be closer to that one than the last one.

But we have sort of reached an end point to all the composition of the work.

We have finished fiddling around with the manuscript.

I know you haven't gotten all of your last edits in, but...

there's light at the end of the tunnel there is yeah I notice how hesitant you are to say that we've finished yeah but we're definitely there aren't we at the end of the process so yeah I've got to read a few of your edits particularly to one sort of chapter and I've got to make some final corrections but I think all of the big stuff is done so all of the chapters are now written uh some of them have been rewritten and then rewritten again yes um but i think um even sort of all the big editing tasks have been done at least at least well enough to kind of sign it off at this stage so Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

Big editing task.

You know, we're going to talk in a minute about reviewers and things like that.

And there may be some things to do after that, I'm sure.

And you just added another chapter, another whole chapter to the book in August.

So the book has expanded.

Yeah, I did that.

But we're getting there.

Yeah, we're getting there.

So I added a bunch of chapters earlier in the year.

And then one of those chapters...
