The books are Born with a Bang, From Lava to Life, and Mammals Who Morph. The illustrations are beautiful and the timelines and bibliography are great too.

It takes very little effort to believe in creationism, but it takes a bit of work and study to fully appreciate and understand evolutionary theory. This is why I think that most people believe in creationism - it's just that so much easier to accept. This is a good site. Keep it up.
