ACCREATION OF THE EARTH AND SOLAR SYSTEM: A new cosmology Copyright 1999, Lawrence S. Myers

New evidence that the Earth is rapidly increasing in size and mass contradicts Laplace's Nebular Hypothesis of Earth's creation, now 200 years old. Accreation (creation by accretion) is presented here as a new concept of planetary creation to replace it.

Accreation (creation by accretion) is a byproduct of 35 years of research and study that proved Earth's diameter has expanded rapidly in the past ~200 Ma. In that relatively short period of geologic time all of today's oceans, and most of the water that now fills them, have been created by melting and expansion of Earth's core. (See http://www.expanding-earth.org)
The Earth is increasing in size and mass by daily accretion of extraterrestrial meteorites and meteor dust--additional weight that is gravitationally focused on the planet's exact center, thereby generating compressive heat and thermal expansion of the core. (See diagram below)
Core expansion is the mechanism causing the Earth to expand, and the rate of expansion accelerates over time as the planet increases in mass by daily bombardment of THOUSANDS OF TONS of meteorites and meteor dust that also adds a thin layer of dust on the surface--with a 75% chance of falling on some body of water. This is the primary source for the oceans' deep sediment layers that have accumulated over the past ~200 Ma as new ocean seafloors have been generated by volcanic magma extruded via the midocean ridges that now encircle the Earth.

The current philosophy of creation of the Earth and Solar System is based on two ancient but closely-related historical documents: (1) The story in Genesis that God created the heavens and earth in six days; and (2) Laplace's Nebular Hypothesis of creation of Earth and other planets of the Solar System that was published in 1796, a period in history when philosophical notions of Nature's wonders had to agree generally with the Bible's teachings.

The Nebular Hypothesis postulates that the Earth, and eight other planets of our solar system, were formed by rapid gravitational collapse (amalgamation) from an immense cloud (nebula) of gas and dust surrounding the Sun. Formation of the nine planets supposedly occurred simultaneously in a relatively short period of time 4.5-4.6 billion years ago (Ga) in a process that generated an enormous amount of heat and resulted in proto-planets that were initially molten.
After slowly cooling, according to the Nebular Hypothesis, the planets assumed spherical shapes and ever since have retained their same sizes, chemical composition, and physical mass even though their sizes and appearances are markedly different. Logic would predict that all should be nearly identical if all nine planets had been formed at the same time and from the same nebula of source material. These differences should have been a warning signal that the Nebular Hypothesis might be wrong.
The scientific advances achieved in this 20th century are truly mind-boggling, so it is surprising that so few scientists in the past 200 years have questioned the validity of this fundamental theorem. Not only is it obvious that a daily influx of extraterrestrial meteorites and dust amounting to ~275-50,000 TONS PER DAY (NASA) must increase the total mass of the Earth, but also its size and chemical makeup.
It is time to rethink the entire philosophy of creation of the Earth and Solar System--the old hypothesis does not meet the test of common sense (and never did.)
