BTW, in the book I mentioned. the author makes the argument that the earth had a close encounter with another planet (say mars or Venus or some other)...

"Worlds in Collision" by Immanuel Velikovsky presents evidence of such an encounter, and is an interesting read.

Yes, I have that one too. :-)

And you are right. The main difference between the two is one takes an overtly Christian perspective.

BTW, on a side note, It cracks me up that evolutionists were, regarding the earth, the universe, biology, etc., were uniformitarianists while Christians were catastrophists.

Now everyone is a catastrophist. Which side had to change their viewpoint? :-P
