The truth shall set you free.,
By Benjamin St. Clair (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
I wish so-called critics of this book would stop trying to promote their own business by cutting someone else down. The Ark of Millions of Years is the best book I have ever read. I believe the Bible. I know the story of Noah's ark. But, this book answered all my questions. Not only is the research these authors have done superb, but the writing style is so beautiful. Don't listen to these hard-hearted critics who refuse to open their eyes to the truth. Read this book. I know what I am going to do. I'm going to tell everyone I can find that they need to read this book as soon as possible.

For the intellectually intrepid...,
By Frances McKenzie (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
The authors go far beyond Z. Sitchin's research. They quote from recently discovered ancient texts which I am not familiar with and reference native prophecies as well. They also frequently quote from the Zohar (kabbalistic work) and manuscripts found by Joseph Smith (founder of the Mormons). Certainly makes for a lively mental upheaval, depending on how wedded you are to your current mind set!
In essence, they propose that there were TWO EARTHS. Both experienced a great flood/destruction. The more celestial globe was the home of the primordial Adam and descendents down to Noah who prepared his ark on the celestial Earth. Meanwhile on the terrestrial Earth, nearly all people perished (most likely due to a cometary/planet fly by and its disruptions). The two earths and human cultures merged. The first part of the book explains how Noah's earth could have traveled through a higher dimension into this one, based on black holes, time warps, etc. They plan another book (volume two) early in 2006. Possibly the process of Earth changes we are currently experiencing are symbolized by the two Earths coming out of synch and eventually splitting apart. Sounds to me like Lynn Grabhorn's Planet Two. (This is based on their radio interviews, probably to be included in Volume 2.) Best wishes, Frances McKenzie Minneapolis MN

Rubbish,

This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
The hoaxmeister of Arc of a Million Years, Brooks A. Agnew, has the following bio on his web site:
"Brooks A. Agnew, PhD grew up in Pasadena, California around JPL [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory] and Cal Tech. He entered the Air Force in 1973, where he graduated top in his class in electronics engineering. As a physicist, he is the most accomplished pioneers (sic) of ground probing radar technology in the world. This technology is currently utilized in the Mars Express program. An author of thousands of technical papers, booklets, or video documentaries Dr. Agnew has joined with veteran archaeologist EJ Clark to produce the most comprehensive book ever written on Intelligent Design and the creation of the Earth. Thousands of readers call it the greatest story on the universe. Their self-published non-fiction work became a national best seller in less than 60 days. His philosophy is, "Everything we do will eventually affect the universe. Do it on purpose." Wow! What a smart guy. Yet when I do an internet search for my dad, who is a real PhD in plant physiology, I get dozens of entries despite the fact that he has been retired for ten years. When I search for Brooks A. Agnew (or variations) I only get the one entry; his book Arc of a Million years. Kind of strange for a guy who invented a cool radar technology and published "thousands" of scientific papers, etc. But the fact that he is lying about his bio should come as no surprise. Why else would someone mention they were raised "near" the Jet Propulsion Laboratory? His credentials are as bogus as his book and his book is only for the gullible.

The mystery of the Nephilim is finally revealed.,
By Alex (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
When I was a boy I read about the Nephilim in the bible. Then there was nothing. Who were they? How did they interact with man? Well, the answers are in this book. Don't settle for any imitation. This book has all the details, their lineage, their purpose, their wars, and their destruction. If you ever wanted to know how giants figure into the story of the earth, you need to read this book. Besides that, the creation of the earth, its purpose, and its destiny are laid out in beautiful style in such clarity. Don't bother to ask for a used copy. Nobody will part with it once they read it. This one is a keeper.

The Ark Of Millions Of Years: New Discoveries And Light On T,
By
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
Mr. Burton of Colorado, who gave a one star rating to THE ARK OF MILLIONS OF YEARS, was apparently careless in his reading.
On page 333 of The Ark of Millions of Years, it reads: "The Nephilim were the fallen angels, cast out of heaven after rebelling against God. The word Nephal means, "to fall" and means "the fallen one." Their leader was also a fallen Son of God, Lucifer (Satan). The Nephilim came from a class of angels called "the watchers", and not all watchers fell. The souls derived from the union of the Nephilim and mortal women were called the "mixed multitude" and consisted of five categories: Nephilim, Gibborim, Anakim, Rephaim and Amalekites. All giant tribes were of one of these categories or of one of a branch of these categories, which were of different names. When these angels were cast out of heaven, they came to both the spiritual and temporal creations." This all seems pretty clear to me. I gave the book a five star rating and ordered two more!! Great stuff! I highly recommend it to others. E. Secrist Richmond, KY.

This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
As this world gets crazyier, this book is starting to make more sense. No matter what your religion is, this book has something for you. It fills in a lot of blanks in mainstream religious books. It is a big book that reads quickly. This info is very controversial but needs to be given a chance.

The Story of Man - Very Creditable Account of History,
By Dennis K Reeves (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
This was a great book and excellent presentation of historical accounts from around the world about the creation of man. I'm thankful that I read this book - it's an eye opening account. The information is very creditable in the context it was presented - amazing detail. I will say that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a temporal and physical convergence. This book is fuel for spritual growth - although it's not about religion and all about history. It takes a book like this to examine hard to explain evidence about our past.

Don't Fight Religious Battles Using Book Reviews,
By
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
I'd like to preface by saying that I have not, and do not intend on buying this book, although I did have a chance to flip through some of it online. Also, I consider myself to be religiously tolerant since I know what its like to experience bigotry, so Ill try to tread lightly. That being said, I don't know who could take this book seriously after that asinine synopsis. The summary provided sounds like its just trying to sell as many copies as possible with no concern for faith, and in the grandiose exaggerations manages to promise the answers to life, the world, and even the universe!! And all this is claimed to be supported by science and research, mind you. You'd think that if truly accurate and supportable answers to the universe's questions were available, more people would have heard about it. Maybe its not as obvious to others.. Oh well. The point here is not to bash this book though, as much as it is to plead for people to stop fighting for or against a religion or religious beliefs on an amazon book review. Even this book deserves the right to exist, so don't attack the ideals that it speaks of, but rather leave it be and quietly snicker to yourself about how poor the actual scientific rigor is in this book. Otherwise these reviews just end up in a never-ending fight between the atheist who plays the higher intellectual ground, while the less keen among us support with blind fervor. Stop it.

Fun to read, like so - so si fi,
By Karm Hellodashing "M. H. Dashing" (Cedar City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ark of Millions of Years: New Discoveries and Light on The Creation (Paperback)
This book was a fun read that is if you don't care about scholarship. Reading this book is like listing in a Sunday school class where two smart guys speculate about a lot of stuff that sounds cool, but it doesn't go much further than that. Many of their conclusions are improbable, and their so-called factual basis in ancient scripture to support their claims is only their private interpretation of those scriptures. They take a quote from some manuscript and interprets its meaning to support their idea, but the same scripture could be used to support another claim by another smart person too. Nevertheless, if you like reading spiritual/historical speculation this is the book to read.
