Petersen's New Insights

Fri, 28 Aug 1998 22:38:22 -0700I am a newcomer; an emeritus professor from CSU Long Beach with an
interest in the creation-evolution discussion.
I have just finished reading Petersen's book, New Insights to
Antiquity, and found it captivating. In particular, his interpretation
of the loess and its nodules in terms of another dimension of space
seems unassailable.
His four-dimensional model of comets is more obscure, but seems
corroborated in unexpected places. For example, it gives an easy
accounting for the rings of Saturn, and it also explains how ancient
mariners were able to determine longitudes in the western hemisphere
--as they are displayed on the Piri Re'is map. But most significantly,
the model defines an unexpected earth-shaping mechanism that renders
most of prevailing historical geology obsolete. Probably few
uniformitarians will welcome these findings, but I anticipate that those
who are persuaded by the Scriptures will have no difficulty with them.
I am anxious to hear from anyone who has read his evidence.
