AUTHOR'S NOTE

For me, the foundation for Hell Creek began years ago at the University of Houston, where I earned a master's degree with a thesis that compared creationist and evolutionist interpretations over the fossil evidence for the origin of man. I therefore did not write this project with an over-caffeinated imagination – not that my morning espressos did not play their part – but from an academic perspective with which I am familiar. However, creation-evolution debates can be degenerate into "he said/she said" kind of arguments, with neither side being able to prove their positions scientifically. This is why I built my storyline around the geological age of the Earth. In that regard, there is some fascinating evidence that will surprise audiences.
