Miracle: The Creation of the Earth

Planetary science was born as an opposition to Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds in Collision," a number one best-seller in 1950 based on ancient texts from cultures around the world. Based on ancient texts of a number of cultures, Velikovsky claimed that Venus was born out of Jupiter and would therefore be hot and Jupiter would be radiating electromagnetic radiation. When the first observations of these planets proved this claim true, a prominent Astronomer Harold Shapely assigned a young PhD Carl Sagan to oppose Velikovsky arguing that Venus is hot because of a "runaway greenhouse effect" and Jupiter is a gas planet, in public debates. Due to support from the astronomical community, Sagan's simplistic claims were adopted as the "standard model" which advocates that the solar system has been in its current state for billions of years despite the great differences in the planets. However, this model remains unproven to this day despite many probes sent to these planets. The enormous ages of the planets suggested by this model support the notion that all life including mankind evolved from lower forms over millions of years.

The the author of Miracle: The Creation of the Earth" compares the Rigveda, Egyptian, Greek and Roman texts, space probe data, close-up images of these planets and correlates these with biblical passages which suggest that the surface of the Earth was formed in biblical times by the intervention of a supremely wise and powerful intelligence whose complex manipulation of the planets seems beyond the bounds of theology. It suggests a complete destruction of ancient life on Earth, the K-T extinction, about 4000 BC followed by a 3,000-year creation period during which a new crust and the complete fully developed modern day life forms were transferred from an ancient living planet captured and released in a geostationary orbit of the Earth during one hundred 30-year cycles, while mankind, newly created (Genesis 1:26-28) watched and wrote the ancient myths.

There were multiple purposes of the 30-year cycles. The smaller ancient planet became distorted by the tidal force of the more massive Earth during each capture period, described in terms of well known features mentioned in ancient texts of many cultures, resulting in its release. The 15.6-year releases into an orbit of the Sun allowed it to regain its spherical shape and regrow vegetation. These same periods on Earth made possible the formation of granite, unique to the Earth and allowed the momentum of the continents induced by the tidal effects of the captures to continue. This leads to new interpretations e.g. of Genesis 1:1 where "the "heaven and earth" refer to the two planets orbiting one another and the real time announcement that the creation is complete in 687 BC (Isaiah 65:17). The obvious conclusion being that a superior culture with more wisdom and power than ever imagined, far beyond that currently being sought by the SETI project, planned and executed the transfer of life to the Earth.

Geologists (Paleontologists) today have no idea that this terraforming of the Earth's surface took place recently because the soil and sedimentary rock that covers the K-T extinction contains zircon crystals, the ratios of uranium to lead in which are currently imagined to give Earth ages. However, these crystals were blasted from volcanic vents on the ancient planet therefore the U/Pb ages are indicative of the ancient planet, not the Earth. As a result, the creation period on Earth, the Cenozoic, is thought to be 66 million years before the present instead of 6,000 years, therefore scientists cannot imagine the ancient myths contain any valuable information. All fossils are dated based on the zircon crystals in the nearby soil or rock not by radiocarbon14 of the fossil tissue because of the assumption that they are ancient.
