Todd Elder has a deep desire to understand Creation. It is motivated by the desire to find truth, experience reality, and live life to the fullest. For him, one of the best ways to pursue this has been to see the incredible variety and beauty found in creation and also the destruction that sin brings with it. Over time, it has become obvious that life is precious and these lessons have contributed to building a relationship with the Creator of life. Along with the general concepts of Young Earth Creationism, this book brings forth innovative ideas. First is the Katagenos Species Concept which defines how species fit within a Kind including the concepts of Environmental Acclimation and Heritage Mating. Second, is the Linnaean based Natanzera Classification System which focuses on listing the distinct created kinds separately from one another. Third is the work in developing the Floral Formula as a method of determining flowering plant kinds. All of these concepts work together to more accurately depict the Creation Orchard free from the assumptions of the evolutionary Tree of Life.
