Excerpt from Physical Facts and Scriptural Record: Or, Eighteen Propositions for Geologists
According to Professor Encke, the point in plane tary space from which the meteors on former visits issued, and particularly as observed in 1834, was the goal of the earth's motion at the time 3; and in sub sequent displays also it has been observed that they came from that point in space towards which the earth was then moving.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the idea that the Earth's axis of rotation may have changed dramatically since its formation. The author presents evidence that the Earth's secondary planets, or moons, all revolve about their axes in the same time that they revolve around their primary planets. With this in mind, the author examines the orbits of the secondary planets in our own solar system, particularly the moon's orbit around the earth. They believe the angle of the moon's orbit in relation to the Earth has changed dramatically since its formation. They also believe that this change of axis caused a shift in the Earth's leading lines of strata and mountain chains, and that the evidence for this can be seen in the position of the Earth's major mountain ranges. The author concludes that the change of the Earth's axis caused a great and sudden change in climate, resulting in the sudden extinction of the mammoth and other animals. These ideas offer a fresh perspective on the history of the Earth and its solar system, and challenge some widely held beliefs about the Earth's formation.
