In other words, heat released by meteoritic bombardment would melt the Earth many times over, even if the bombardment period were millions of years. [See Endnote 45a on page 82.] Had this happened, we would not find heavy, nonreactive chemical elements, such as gold, at the Earth’s surface, nor would granite exist. [See “Molten Earth?” on page 82 and Endnote 25 on page 163.]
