one book that a pterodactyl was excavated alive from solid rock in a French

"On day number four, when the sun was created, the energy of the sun upon
this hydrogen would have caused a gentle pink glow. . . .
"The statement is made that this light 'ruled the day.' Scientists
and
researchers are finding that the most important color in the entire spectrum
is pink. This is the color that is produced by energized hydrogen. They
find that plants grow better under pink light and that individuals respond
in mood to pink light. Researchers have found that when a person is
affected by the right spectrum of pink light, the brain secrets
norepinephren. Norepinephren is a natural tranquilizer and
neurotransmitter. Before the flood, man was dominated by various spectra of
pink light. The tranquility of his environment offered him the ability to
have his brain work at maximum effieciency." ~ Carl Baugh, Panorama of
Creation, (Oklahoma City: Southwest Radio Church, 1989), p. 50-51
Although I am in neuroscience I have never read anything about individuals
responding to pink light, but I can tell you that norepinephrine (also
called noradrenalin) is hardly a tranquilizer. It is structurally nearly
identical to adrenalin and affects the body and brain in an almost identical
manner.
