Is “Meteor Crater” really the showcase for the impact hypothesis that astronomers and geologists have claimed?
Evidence for an electrical event is too clear to be ignored. Readers interested in todays scientific folklore on meteor impacts have probably already seen pictures of Meteor Crater in Arizona. So weve chosen to put up instead an image that captures the power of theoretical assumptions in the sciences. (A good picture of Meteor Crater can be seen here.) The crater is located 20 miles west of Winslow Arizona. Geologists now confidently say the depression, more than 4,000 feet wide, was created 50,000 years ago when a giant rock plowed into the desert. The Meteor Crater Interactive Learning Center, which includes twenty-four exhibits, bills the crater as the first proven, best-preserved meteorite crater on Earth. The movie Collisions and Impacts” shows twice each hour in an 80-seat wide-screen movie theater. A 1,406 pound meteorite fragment, the largest ever found in the area, is on display. Of course, for many years scientists claimed that the earths surface has no impact craters. But in
