Final Thoughts

As with the 24 other major features listed on page 104, we have examined the origin of asteroids and meteoroids from two directions: “cause-to-effect” and “effect-to-cause.”

Cause-to-Effect. We saw that given the assumption listed on page 113, consequences naturally followed: the fountains of the great deep erupted; large rocks, muddy water, and water vapor were launched into space; gas and gravity assembled asteroids; and gas pressure powered by the Sun’s energy (the radiometer effect) herded asteroids into the asteroid belt. Isolated rocks still moving in the solar system are meteoroids.

Effect-to-Cause. We considered seventeen effects (pages 296–300), each incompatible with other current theories on the origin of asteroids and meteoroids. Each effect was evidence that many rocks and large volumes of water vapor were launched from Earth.

Portions of Part III will examine this global flood from a third direction: historical records from claimed eyewitnesses. All three perspectives reinforce each other, illuminating in different ways this catastrophic event.
