Science and the SIGN: Lesson 2

“Several astrophysicists, working independently, have proposed that our sun once had a twin that either fell apart or was flung out of the solar system into the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy. The twin star wouldn’t be unusual. Most stars have at least one, and often two or three companions.”

“The scientists from Lawrence Livermore Labs, Lawrence Berkeley Labs, Princeton University and the University of Chicago propose that the twin star passed through a breeding ground for comets near Pluto every 26 million years. The pass caused a shower of comets to hit the earth and wipe out large numbers of prehistoric animals. The star, according to the latest theory, no longer poses a threat to earth.” (1984)

Article: Death Star; Astronomer traces Earth’s nemesis

14

“A possible location of Nemesis, the star blamed by scientists for mass extinctions on the earth every 26 million years, has been calculated to be in the constellation Draco, not far from the Little Dipper.”

15

“The calculation has been made by Dr. Armand H. Delsemme, a Belgian-born astronomer at the University of Toledo in Ohio. He studied the orbits of comets that seem to have been disrupted from normal orbits.”

16

“Delsemme has assumed that the orbits of the 126 comets least altered by close passage of planets would still show the effects of disruption by passage of a small star or a very large planet through the outer reaches of the solar system.”

Cover story: Did comets kill the dinosaurs?

A new theory of extinctions tries to explain what killed the dinosaurs

20

“Every 26 million years or so, some scientists think, comet barrages hit the earth and spew debris into the air. Sunlight is blocked, temperatures plummet, plants and animals die. Comets may have killed the dinosaurs, and could strike again – in 13 million years. What sends comets earthward? It could be the still undiscovered tenth planet or Nemesis, the

death star.

Planet X Theory

25

It was so similar to what I had seen: A 45 degree angle, except the little planet was orbiting the sun's twin

Since it’s center of gravity is NOT the sun, it crosses the orbits of the sun’s planets at irregular intervals

Article: Findings Back The Idea That A Pall Over Earth Killed The Dinosaurs

by: John Noble Wilford

27

“Scientists say they have discovered the first direct evidence, 65 million year old soot, that fire once swept the world and contributed to the mass extinction of dinosaurs and many other forms of life.”

28

“In a report in the journal Science, published today, chemists of the University of Chicago said the “surprisingly large amount” of soot appeared to be worldwide, could have been produced only in flames or hot gases and represented fallout from a dense smoke cloud that must have brought a killing darkness and chill to the world.”

29

“From the soot residue, found in ancient sediments, the Chicago chemists theorized that the fire storm was ignited by the impact of a huge asteroid or comet.”

IV. Is our sun a binary star?

A. The Hubble Telescope has shown that every star, near enough to earth to check positively, does have at least one companion star circling it

40

B. Does our sun have a dark twin circling it?

1. Is it a dwarf star that has burned out and become black?

2. Or a companion star that imploded and became a black hole?

41

Dwarf Stars

42

C. We know that something is out there

1. An object with enough mass, to cause our sun to move up and down a bit from its galactic plane, as it orbits through the Milky Way Galaxy

43

C. We know that something is out there

44

D. Since it causes our sun to move up and down in the galactic plane, then it must circle the sun at an angle to the plane of the elliptic.

45

1. Also its path would have to be an elongated elliptic, rather than circular because the up and down movement is not uniform

46

E. Also, we can extrapolate that its distance from the sun is far enough to keep it invisible to earth yet with a mass/distance enough to make the sun bobble up and down

47

F. Answer: Yes, our sun has a companion star

48

V. The geological record shows that there were various events in the past that caused the death of whole species.

49

A. Do these destructions come on a regular basis every 26 million years?

B. Only if you use erroneous Darwinian time

50

C. Geologists using Darwinian time say that the Grand Canyon was carved out over millions of years

1. In fact, it probably took about two or three weeks

51

52

D. Darwinian Geologists point out the various layers in the rock in the Grand Canyon walls and give names to ‘periods’ lasting thousands and millions of years.

53

1. That this whole concept is in error is shown by a petrified tree near the bottom of the canyon

54

a. The trunk, limbs and even the twigs are plainly seen, imbedded in the stone

55

b. The tree is upright and there are four layers of rock, of different colors, between the roots and the top

56

c. Remember, these layers are supposed to indicate thousands or millions of years,

57

d. In order for this to be true, that tree stood for a million years as the stone built up to the trunk, then stood another million years or so while rock built up to its lower branches; then stood another million years while the stone built up to its top twigs.

58

e. And all through these millions of years, the twigs didn’t break off, decay or get eaten by anything, so that at last, after another million years or so, they too were embedded in rock

59

60

Please Mr. Darwin, give me a break!

61

2. If you go to Mount St Helens and look at the channel that Spirit Lake cut through the mud and debris when it broke free, you will see trees embedded in the mud in the sides of the channel that look just like the trees imbedded in the rock in the sides of the Grand Canyon

62

Thousands of layers formed in a few minutes

as the mud flowed down from Mt. St. Helens.

This little river did not make this canyon either!

66

3. How long does it take a tree to petrify and turn to stone?

67

4. When I was a kid in Oregon we found a piece of petrified wood, about 4 inches in diameter and about 6 inches long that had a square nail, used by pioneers, imbedded in it up to the head – about 100 years old

68

E. More about the Grand Canyon formation in another lesson

69

F. So what killed the dinosaurs?

1. Something cataclysmic and sudden

70

2. Their bodies did not lie around until they petrified

3. Predators would have torn the carcasses to bits – not like the articulated skeletal bones that are found

71

G. Oil pools are the aftermath of carbon based life, animals and plants, being covered over suddenly with tons of earth

72

1. If there is enough compression, the plants and animals become soft bituminous coal; a bit more compression and you get anthracite, hard coal, even more compression and you get diamonds.

73

VI. Lets talk about coal and oil

A. There are many places in the world where there are literally mountains of coal

74

Coal Deposits in the USA

75

B. Those vast deposits represent billions of tons of what were once living plants and animals

C. Ancient life was far more prolific and rich than life on earth today.

76

Coal Reserves in the USA

77

VII. How were plants and animals swept into mountain sized heaps, covered and sealed with earth, to become oil or coal?

78

A. It didn’t happen gradually, and slowly as theorized by the Darwinians

B. Dead plants and animals, left out on the surface, rot and turn into humus NOT oil or coal

79

C. Some extraterrestrial object(s) caused these cataclysmic upheavals and deaths more than once in earth’s history

80

D. Present theories propose that these cycles of destruction occur about every 26 million (Darwinian) years

81

Dying Line Graph

82

E. They know that the cause of these destructions had to be from space and so propose comets, meteors, sun’s twin, Planet X or asteroids as the mechanisms

83

F. I believe that their theories are wrong on four points

84

1. The destructions are NOT cyclic: they do NOT occur on a regular timed basis

2. There is one object, NOT multiple objects, that is the cause of these destructions

3. The time periods between destructions are NOT 26 million years apart

4. The events are NOT happenstance, but planned by GOD

85

G. Whenever sin will reach a certain point and there will be a change in GOD’s order of dealing with creation, GOD has preprogrammed the “Sign of the Son of Man” to visit the earth

86

1. Jesus is that part of the GOD-HEAD that deals with sin

2. Therefore this planetoid that comes by the earth, when sin reaches a certain point and a change in GOD’s order is mandated, is called His Sign

87

H. There have been five visits of the Sign of the Son of Man in the past- they coincide with when GOD changes His way of dealing with sin

88

1. When Satan and other spirit beings rebelled against GOD – sin brought chaos into the universe and the earth BECAME without form and void

2. When Adam and Eve sinned – and the earth was cursed

3. When sin peaked in Noah’s day- and GOD destroyed the earth in the Flood 4. When sin needed an eternal remedy, Jesus was born.

5. When Jesus died on the Cross and opened the way to Heaven.

89

J. There will be two more visits by the Sign

1. When Redemption takes place - at the Rapture

2. When the Day of GOD’s Wrath comes - at Armageddon
