PARADISE TO DOOMSDAY (The Bible Is Right & Wrong; So Is Mainstream Science)

(My plan is to upload this ebook onto Amazon before it's finished and then to keep adding to it periodically, like maybe weekly, which is like what I've been doing on the Thunderbolts.info forum.)

ORIGIN OF SCIENCE
_Wikipedia says the roots of Science began in Egypt and Mesopotamia ca. 3,000 BC, i.e. with math, astronomy and medicine. Lyndon LaRouche had said that modern Science began with Cardinal Nicolas of Cusa in Italy in the 1400s AD, based on Biblical admonition.
_Early geologists were Christians who accepted Biblical accounts of a former Great Flood as a major early geological event.

FLOOD VS. GLACIATION
_Later geologists couldn't see how a Flood would have caused some geological features, but they thought glaciers could have caused them, so they mostly gradually abandoned the theory of a short-lived Great Flood in favor of long-term glaciation.
_What they hadn't thought about was that major impacts could have accounted for many of the features that the Flood alone could not account for. The Bible used the word matar which apparently referred to meteors, but was possibly mistranslated as hail.

RADIOMETRIC DATING
_In the early 20th century with the discovery of radioactivity, geologists developed radiometric dating, which indicated that most igneous rock is millions of years old.

METEOR IMPACTS
_Around 1980, Alvarez et al concluded that major impacts were responsible for ending the age of dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
_More recently, Firestone et al found that the Younger Dryas glaciation was caused by comet or asteroid impacts, which killed off most giant mammals ca. 13,000 years ago.

CATASTROPHISM
_In the 1950s a Psychiatrist/Historian, Velikovsky, found evidence in mythology and in geology that astronomical bodies caused devastation on Earth ca. 3,000 and more years ago. He published a popular book on the subject, called Worlds in Collision.
_In the 1970s Steve and David Talbott published a magazine, Pensee', devoted to scientific studies of Velikovsky's theory. Several other periodicals followed into the early 2000s. David Talbott and Dwardu Cardona were the most influential researchers who followed Velikovsky.

FORMER SATURN SYSTEM
_They concluded independently of each other that mythology points to the planets Saturn, Venus and Mars, as well as Jupiter later, as the identities of the major gods of antiquity, which were close companions of the Earth originally and all four or five were more distant from the Sun than now.
_They also concluded that Velikovsky's datings of the Earth's encounters with Venus and Mars in the second millennium BC were in error, and should have been dated to the third millennium BC.
_Cardona showed that the Saturn system was scientifically possible and mythologically moreso.

ACCURACY OF DATING METHODS
_Some dating methods are better than others. Radiometric dating is most inaccurate. Radiocarbon dating, tree ring dating, etc are more accurate. Ice core dating is fairly accurate down to a few thousand years ago, but is very inaccurate beyond that, because the climate was much different during major cataclysms.
_Radiometric dating is based on wrong assumptions. Normal radioactive decay can take millions of years, but ionization can speed up radioactive decay tremendously. Major impacts etc can cause severe ionization in various locations (and thus can cause rapid radioactive decay) esp. as meteors move at high velocity through the atmosphere.

FLOODS DEPOSITED SEDIMENTARY STRATA
_Virtually all sedimentary rock strata were deposited between 6,000 and 4,000 years ago, mostly by Tsunami Flooding. Tsunamis were caused by tidal forces from one or more close astonomical bodies, and by ocean impacts, earthquakes and volcanism. There were at least two global floods about 500 years apart.

FIRST FLOOD
_The first Great Flood could have covered all of the land, because there were not yet any mountains or highlands. The supercontinent Pangaea was all lowland and shallow seas.
_The Great Flood deposited most of the sediment strata that gradually hardened into sedimentary rock. An elliptically orbiting astronomical body, similar to the present Moon, likely caused tidal waves that moved ocean sediments onto Pangaea on a weekly or monthly basis for several months about 5,000 years ago. Many meteors hit Pangaea at the same time, causing many craters in the sediments.

____(Note to self: See if craters formed in damp sediment differ much from those formed in hardened sedimentary rock in order to help determine which strata were deposited during which Flood.)

FOSSILS
_Dinosaurs were the dominant animals before the Great Flood and were mostly buried by that Flood. Giant mammals became dominant after the Great Flood, but only survived a few centuries until the next global cataclysm occurred.

ICE SHEET & WARM ARCTIC
_Central and southern Canada and the northern U.S. were covered by an ice sheet after the Great Flood, because impacts put a lot of water vapor and dust into the air and volcanoes added more debris, which shaded the land and caused extreme snowfall for several centuries. But the Arctic remained warm because the Saturn system was above the north pole giving off warmth and sunlight.

PANGAEA BREAKUP & OROGENESIS
_The Pangaea supercontinent was struck by a large asteroid, which broke the supercontinent up into the present continents and islands. The impact caused the pieces of Pangaea to move rapidly apart, with the exception of Africa. Eurasia moved counterclockwise, but didn't move as far as other continents, because it's more massive and received less momentum, i.e. from that of India when it collided with China and raised up the Himalaya Mountains. The asteroid impact caused other mountain ranges to form on each of the continents. Continental Drift was rapid and recent, not slow and extremely ancient. Likewise regarding orogenesis.

SECOND GREAT FLOOD
_The asteroid impact and other impacts, as well as close encounters, caused extreme tidal waves, possibly greater than those of the first Great Flood, but they weren't high enough to cover all of the newly formed highlands and mountains. Some impacts hit the ice sheet and melted much of it, adding to the flooding. Large parts of the remaining ice sheet floated away on Flood waters to the oceans.

ARCTIC PERMAFROST
_Some depressions or craters in Siberia and Alaska nearly a mile deep were filled by Flood waters and hurricanes carrying dirt, debris and dead plant and animal parts. Ammonia from a Saturn nova was possibly also involved, as well as cold air from the upper atmosphere which flash froze the water and debris into mostly solid ice, called permafrost, meaning permanently frozen. Hail or rock ice also fell, mixed with dust, and buried some of the giant mammals largely intact as they suffocated from the dust.
