Dinosaurs, maps, travel, geology, history and climate change. Pangaea Sister Sites, the book, has it all. Pangaea gave birth to 7 modern continents and numerous islands. When it broke up, locations along those fault lines moved farther and farther apart. Pangaea Sister Sites give us a look at 71 sets of locations that were divided as much as 180 million years ago, moving from single digit miles to thousands of miles apart. Filled with more than 1,200 illustrations, including Paleomaps by professional geologist, Dr. Christopher Scotese. This book covers not only at the modern cities, towns, scientific research stations and other sites as they exist today, but also gives us a glimpse at what these sites might have been like back in the Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods-when dinosaurs ruled the world. Some of the Pangaea Sister Site pairs include, - New York City, NY, USA-Dakhla, Western Sahara, - Boston, MA, USA-Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, - Vancouver, BC, Canada-Cabo San Lucas, BC, Mexico, - Miami, FL, USA-Conakry, Guinea, - Cape Canaveral, FL, USA-Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, - Virginia Beach, VA, USA-Nouadhibou, Mauritania, - Fortaleza, Brazil-Lagos, Nigeria, - S o Paulo, Brazil-Lucira, Angola, - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil-Lobito, Angola, - Recife, Brazil-Douala, Cameroon, - Salvador, Brazil-Port-Gentil, Gabon, - Buenos Aires, Argentina-Bogenfels, Namibia, - Antalaha, Madagascar-Mumbai, India, - Kolkata, India-Davis Station, Antarctica, - Perth, Australia-Mirny Station, Antarctica. Pangaea Sister Sites, the book, exposes very real connections between these modern locations, rekindling forgotten kinships-links to our Jurassic past.

Don't believe Noah's Flood happened? We now have evidence. What was wicked enough for a worldwide deluge? No garden variety evil led to Noah's Flood. We now have God's reason, plus the surprising target, and why that target needed to be eliminated. If you like ancient legends, puzzles and secrets revealed, you will love this detective story. This is all about uncovering the reason behind the biggest disaster ever to strike humanity. Today's countdown to Armageddon is underway. We need to understand what is going to happen and why God is allowing it. To do this, we need to know more about the first worldwide tragedy-Noah's Flood. This book answers an ancient puzzle. All the old theories are shown to be flawed. No garden variety wickedness, violence and corruption of flesh could have led to the Flood. The crime which provoked God's anger was entirely solved by the Flood. We need to ask, "What was that crime?" Finally some answers.

Nearly four decades ago, Rod Martin experienced several miracles in one incident. Each miracle changed his life. Perhaps the most profound of those miracles was the gift of forgiveness and an understanding of what forgiveness is all about. The purpose of this book includes three goals: 1. To inspire 2. To clarify, and 3. To guide. First of all, the Age of Miracles never ended. Martin discovered what it takes to reach that spiritual state where the door to creation is opened. Second, most people have misconceptions about forgiveness and these make it difficult or impossible to heal. Martin makes it clear what forgiveness is and what it is not. Third, Martin gives exercises which help prepare your mind and attitudes for forgiveness. The inspiration, clarity and guidance in this book remain both powerful and unique. This book could very well change your life

Science vs. Religion? Why does there need to be any opposition? Science studies the products of creation, while spirituality studies the sources of creation. The two complement each other. Between them, they cover the whole of reality. Spirit is Digital, Science is Analog explores both sides of this controversy, digging deeply into the darker side of each and ferreting out the real heart and soul of both. Shining a Light on Corruption in Both Science and Religion Both science and religion have a dark side. Scientists have egos. So do many of the religious. And ego can make people do some very crazy things, like put dogma ahead of evidence in science. Or put biased interpretation ahead of God's will in religion. Table of Contents - Introduction: Truth as a Direction - Chapter 1: The Church of Scientific Dogma - Chapter 2: Constantine's Corruption of Christianity - Chapter 3: Science Shackled with the Wrong Paradigm - Chapter 4: Discovery Begins with Humility - Chapter 5: Why Science Fails When Studying Spirit - Chapter 6: Proof of God - Chapter 7: The Nature of God's Children - Chapter 8: How Science is Analog - Chapter 9: How Spirit is Digital - Chapter 10: Spirit Working With Science Spirit is Digital, Science is Analog is all about the critical differences between heaven and physical reality: discontinuity and continuity. Knowing the critical differences makes studying the two halves of reality far easier. Will these distinctions yield powerful results? Perhaps they already have. The author covers some of those in his other books on spirituality and science. But this book discusses the nexus between the two halves of reality, reaching to live up to its subtitle: Discovering where miracles and logic intersect.

Grounded in Science and Scripture Fifth century BC Greek philosopher, Empedocles (c. 494-434 BC), gave us the four elements of physical reality. Though modern scientists might dismiss these elements of air, water, fire and earth as ancient, pseudo-science dogma, the character of these elements seem to be that of the very ones used by modern science as the four key dimensions, space, time, energy and mass. From these, we can derive other units of measure, like area, volume, density, velocity, acceleration, power and more. In 1977, Rod Martin experienced three miracles on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, that forever changed his life. From that incident, and many other miracles on which he applied scientific method, Martin was able to derive the four elements of God that make miracles possible: - Unconditional Love, - Perfect Responsibility, - Utter Humility, and - Fearless Confidence. From these four spiritual elements, we can derive other traits, like faith, compassion, gratitude, generosity, competence and more. Essays About the Heart and Soul of Man Four Elements of God gives us a deep look at love, humility, confidence and responsibility that is rich with scriptural references. This small book provides a glimpse at what it is like to be at-one with the Heavenly Father, and to have a deeper appreciation of the physical universe He created.

Did you know that there are at least 489 new conspiracies per second starting somewhere in the world, day-in and day-out, all year long, every year? This is a conservative estimate based on known facts. The actual figure could be far higher, because conspirators don't usually like to be discovered. If anyone ever insinuates that conspiracies never happen or are too rare to be taken seriously, tell them that they're suffering from conspiracy blindness-a malady that seems to strike Americans and West Europeans with alarming regularity. This book may well be the cure for conspiracy blindness.

Did you know that Global Warming made civilization possible 12,000 years ago?... that strong tornadoes (EF3-EF5) are on a 60-year downtrend?... that hurricanes and typhoons are on a similar downtrend? (Dr. Ryan Maue) Life prefers the warmth. We only need look at population gradients to see this. Planta and animals like it warm, too. Life needs 4 key ingredients: - Warmth, - Water, - Nutrients, and - Plenty of the right gas: oxygen for animals, carbon dioxide for plants. This book tackles the lies and half-truths about climate with facts and a deep understanding of science. It backs up its assertions with decades of scientific evidence. It delves into the corruption of language and how terms like "climate change" and "global warming" have been kidnapped and forced to wear false definitions. It should be obvious that all changes come with some difficulty. That's a part of life. But fearing global warming is like a hungry man fearing food. Lies include, - CO2 is a pollutant (it's not and never has been); - Warming causes more and stronger storms (wind does not come from heat alone; Venus has frightening heat, but very little surface wind); - Warming causes droughts (land never gets any water without warmth; if you want more droughts, try global cooling); - Oceans are soaking up CO2 and becoming acidic (actually, oceans are emitting CO2 from the warmth and they have never been acidic throughout the history of life on land); and - Recent years have been the warmest on record (NASA scientists admitted that they were only 38% certain of this claim in January 2015). Thermophobia is a cautionary tale of international deception and powerful intrigue. At stake is the very life of civilization itself. If people are not prepared for the eventual glacial climate of the current Ice Age, or do not take action to end the current Ice Age, then billions could die from the cold directly, from the scarcity of rain, from failed crops, and from the eventual food wars. No one knows when the next glacial period will begin, but the average interglacial is 11,000 years long, and our Holocene is already as much as 17,000 years old. When the Holocene does end, we could see another 90,000 years without summers, rain, crops, food and civilization. Thermophobia may very well be the most dangerous disease ever to strike humanity. The cure is knowledge.

"With a certainty that startled even me, I knew that I had tapped into the source code of the physical universe itself."-The Science of Miracles, ch.3 What is a miracle? It is an action that either bends or breaks the laws of physical reality. Using scientific method, researcher Rod Martin, Jr. discovered a method for creating miracles at-will. Over the course of several decades, he studied and refined this method, polishing it into what he calls "Creational Mechanics." He also discovered that the same method had been available all along in ancient religious texts like the Bible. All it took was the proper interpretation-being about to see the words with spiritual eyes. This book tells how science can be improved so that it can study spiritual phenomena. It also details the journey of discovery that led Martin from childhood dreams of flight to the startling triple miracle on Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles that changed his life forever. Within this book, you learn the key ingredients and mindset required to perform miracles. Warning: This is not for the selfish or greedy. As the founder of Christianity informed us, we need to give up such childish ways. Replication is a key element in science and it is also a key part of The Science of Miracles. Martin teaches by example and also leads you through a series of personal experiences which helped him to understand what he was looking at. He also details many of the problems people face with things like prayer and the Law of Attraction. And he offers solid solutions based on experience.

For nearly 3,000 years, the Judeo-Christian account of creation has remained a puzzling story of seemingly conflicting details. After a lifetime of comparative religious study and scientific research into the structure of miracles, bestselling author, Rod Martin, Jr. has tackled the story of our beginnings in the context of the whole Bible, his experience with spiritual action, and the purpose for this entire physical universe. Instead of attempting to finalize the meanings of scripture, Martin has long realized that God needs us to be perpetually humble-meek and vigilant. The author bases this idea on the fact that no one is omniscient, and, thus, every one of us will always have more to learn; and humility is the only way we can learn. Too many come to a subject with preconceived notions that block learning. Accordingly, Martin offers these essays on the creation story as alternate interpretations which aim to provoke us to reduce ego to zero so that we can view scripture as spirit. Meaning and Context: Creation offers a brief discussion of each verse, and then separate essays to look at the overall story from different, thematic viewpoints, including, - Blueprint and Construction-Comparing God's handiwork to earthly construction projects. - Dual Nature of Man-Analyzing God's two creations of "man," both the spiritual and physical sides. - Mirror of God-A look at how the traits of God are reflected darkly in the structure of physical reality. - Perfecting-The purpose of everything that God has created. - The Arrow of Heaven-Truth is spiritual in nature, so physical words can do little more than point in the general direction of that Truth. This is part of the humility we need to maintain.

Why would scientists ignore evidence? Some scientists occasionally ignore evidence-and sometimes violently. Why would they do this? American journalist and bestselling author, James Gleick explained it this way: "Shallow ideas can be assimilated; ideas that require people to reorganize their picture of the world provoke hostility." When scientists refuse to look because they "know better," others can swoop in to make the big discoveries. That happened when English amateur, Frank Calvert, discovered Troy at Hisarlik, Turkey (Schliemann came later). Ironically, the same arrogance that had blinded the experts still persists today. But Atlantis? Yes, we have evidence. Lots of it. Not yet enough to prove Plato's lost island empire existed, but some compelling-even startling-evidence, including 3bits of scientific fact that tell us something truly earth shattering happened right when Plato said Atlantis was destroyed. - Dramatic change in climate worldwide, 33x as fast as the UN IPCC's feared warming of the 21st century. - A massive volcanic eruption. - A sudden drop in sea level worldwide of between 2 and 7.4 meters. - All happening 9620 BC-a virtual bullseye for the tectonic collapse of Atlantis. For decades, "Clovis First" was sacred dogma in North American anthropology. Experts warned scientists not to dig below the Clovis horizon. If a scientist dared betray Clovis, they could lose funding or even their careers. But this isn't science. This is politics and egoism. And how can dogma in science be overturned if no one looks for evidence? Sadly, this behavior is all too common in science. Stray too far from what is popular and you could be scrambling to learn a new career. Proof of Atlantis? Even first-year geology students know that mountains frequently form at tectonic plate boundaries from subduction and magmatic arcs, or from convergent compression when there are impediments to subduction, as with the continental "bone" of India colliding with the Eurasia. When such mountains form in the ocean, they sometimes become islands. And the region Plato picked for Atlantis is along a tectonic plate boundary. Mission: Atlantis may well be a true monument to scholarship, but more importantly, it remains a wake-up call to scientists everywhere to snap out of their self-imposed blindness when it comes to unpopular ideas. Both science and human civilization deserve far better.
