Conspiracy of Science: Earth is in fact growing

Well, it seems there is more to add to this very interesting pot.

This Urantia Book brought up on PA recently here, [and other places] has this to say on Page 658, in Section III titled "The History of Urantia," and Chapter 57 titled The Origin of Urantia" :

"3,000,000,000 years ago the solar system was functioning much as it does today. Its members continued to grow in size as space meteors continued to pour in upon the planets and their satellites at a prodigious rate."

"2,500,000,000 years ago the planets had grown immensely in size. Urantia was a well-developed sphere about one tenth its present mass and was still growing rapidly by meteoric accretion."

The publisher's site is down at times, and their search function isn't always up and running.

I had to acquire a few extra other books to assist with the vetting process of this book. It appears that the content was compiled from 1915 to 1947/48-ish, was pretty much ready to print around 1950-ish, yet with-held from final printing until 1955.

Some chat boards and web-sites say it was channeled, yet "A history of the Urantia Papers" by Larry Mullins & Meredith Justin Sprunger indicate a far more interesting process.

Martin Gardiner, a well known skeptic, took on the Urantia Book, yet offers one of the weakest arguments I've ever discovered in any of his issues of skepticism. This publication of Martin Gardiner is so uncharacteristic of his high standard of discourse.

The material in this book constantly side-swipes me with it's dense content, and the margins are full of my unanswered questions, so I urge caution to be sure.

In respect of the idea of the size of Earth changing over time, seems to go so much further back than seems to be implied, and I am humbled by the continued finding of yet more that I "didn't even know that I didn't know."

I also own the "Urantia Book" i will have to look up the page you sited...if my memory serves me correctly, it is stated that the books contents origin is of an unknown nature, although some suspect channeled and others extraterrestrial.


I will also add that this would confirm the Universal Theory of the Universe expanding and then contracting. If the Earth indeed had expanded in the past then it certainly has contracted, this could explain the geological evidence of magnetic pole shifts and could also account for the formation of mountain ranges due to subduction.

Hi 13th Warrior:

Of all the books I've vetted, this one is turning out to be the biggest challenge ever. I'm taking the wearing of a "fire suit," with my own oxygen pack, for this one.

It seems like everyone, their dogs, cats & chickens are struck by something from this book, and through the Internet offers everyone their slice of pizza to the buffet of beliefs. With this much heat, there's at least some smoke coming from this fire.

The Larry Mullins "History" seems to be much more precise on the origin, as an investigative journalist would be with details, while other prefer repeating "Chinese Whispers." Personally, I explored channeling through experience, and find fault with that process.

The addition of ideas that heretics to science are only now revealing, and make good sound & solid sense, having been put into final print 55 years ago in this book, only adds to the curiosity.

I've come across years ago someone who offered the idea that The Universe is far older than 16 Billion years, 'pulses' and isn't just expanding from a recent event, would also help to explain the current form we see through telescopes. Again, another idea that would have been difficult to imagine being explored 55 years ago. This book is further out than the Twilight Zone.

It may take years to pull apart this mystery and gain some degree of comfort with some agreeable reassembly of it.

The concepts at the beginning are without any doubt the most dense, yet coherent comprehension I could ever imagine of a First Source and Universe design.
