etymology of Australia


Another meaning for the word Australia is "land of the (fallen) star."  This is derived from the word 'austra' meaning 'star,' and the suffix -alia "of the area."  The reason for this is that both the Judeo-Christian Bible and modern geology hint at the fact that the earth used to be one land mass.  Regarding the Bible, this is found in Genesis 10:25, "And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan."

The word Peleg has the meaning division.  While one would think that this refers to a migratory division of the peoples of the earth, it does not fit the text, in that many peoples already were upon the earth at this time and had spread out from their location near the mountains of Ararat (Urartu.)  The real meaning of Peleg refers to the breaking up of the 'Gondwana' supercontinent.

Contrary to what evolutionary science tells us regarding this, the impact was not a water-based landing for the asteroid, but rather land-based.  As can be gathered by the numerous impact craters scattered around the planet, the earth was involved in a super meteor shower except that it was asteroids.

If such a thing happened, whether biblical or evolutionary, there would be evidence of such a large asteroid residing somewhere on the planet, whether under the sea or on land.  I believe that this super-asteroid is none other than Mt. Uluru/Ayers Rock located in west-central Australia.  It may be that evidence of its non-terrestrial origin can be found if looked at closely enough.
