I think you would find it very enlightening, Righterzpen; and I can name several others that are nearly as good.
As for the "supernova remnants don't behave that way, ergo, this is all scientifically impossible" response, well, these other books go into that in a little more detail as well; it also could have been a comet; a meteorite; rocky remnants from the planet that
used to be between Mars and Jupiter----but it got hit by something that turned it into the asteroid belt.
Again, for those who have the courage to think outside the box, this concept is not a problem. For those who are smugly secure in what they "
know is correct" (sort of the way anthropologists used to be before Darwin came along, LOL), they'll never get any further ahead; they'll be stuck in their hidebound ideas forever, no matter what kind of new data is discovered. Research labs the world over are loaded with these types---they know what they learned in grad school, by gum, and
thats the way it is! 
If you ever have a desire to study ancient fossils, go find a guy who's published a "peer-reviewed" dissertation, lol.
Yeah, I think a lot of what we come to understand as "laws that govern the universe" may not be wholly (100% of the time) consistent to our understanding.
Now what exactly Venus is; is a good question because nothing can get through the atmosphere to know is it like unto the structure of this planet? The assumption is the atmosphere is nitric acid. Which... is that what makes comets "glow"? (I don't know?) I wonder too, if Venus is a comet that hit what ever planet had become the asteroid belt. (That would make sense too.)
There's some interesting archeology on planet earth. I ran across an article; at least a decade ago now that stated that under X amount of feet of mud in China; they found a civilization that had writing that looked like cuneiform. (The precursor to Hebrew.) Obviously this is different than the style of writing China used in subsequent centuries. Which makes me wonder? We know "where" Noah's ark "landed" (or at least the name of the mountain; yet was Ararat in ancient times where it is today? (Not sure we know?) Could Noah have started in what is today China?
There's another theory that an asteroid hit the basin that became the Gulf of Mexico. If that is true; that would make sense too of what became the origin point of what commenced the dividing of the continents. If a "tidal wave" started on that end of "Pangea" and Noah was on the other end of "Pangea" the safest direction for the ark to have gone would have been out over the Pacific ocean. All the debris from one end of "Pangea" would have had it's largest deposits on the other end of the east coast of the Pacific. Yet the "end" of the "ring of fire" is off the coast of Japan. That is the deepest sub ocean trench that we know of. Thus if a lot of debris from the continent ended up on the Pacific ocean; it would have been swallowed up by volcanic activity by now.
Which brings me to another "observable point" about the techtonic plates on this planet.
"As the lightening from the east to the west; so shall the coming of the son of man be."
The "mid-Atlantic ridge" begins somewhere in Iran. Iran is the most seismically active country on the planet. The ridge runs up into Russia (The Ural mountains is the dividing point between the European and Asian plates. It runs up over Scandinavia, south between Britain and Iceland and down the center of the Atlantic Ocean. From there it goes around South America, up the west coast of North America and down the east coast of Asia. It goes south around Australia (Which at one point was probably part of South East Asia or India? The fault line goes up over North India, cuts through the Persian Gulf, literally through the middle of Jerusalem into the Meditation Sea. It ends somewhere on the southern end of Spain. Literally travels "east to west". "Meeting up" and ending almost exactly where it started.
Now, fast forward from Noah's ark to the crucifixion. What happened when Jesus died? (There was an earthquake.) Now if that had run from the origin point of the dividing of the continents starting from the flood; it literally would have split the planet in half.
Now fast forward again to the 2nd coming. The commencement of the destruction of this earth starts with Jerusalem. Aint that wild!
Another interesting thing from archeology.
3 civilizations: Rome, the Mayans and the Chinese all record what looks like a comet coming from the earth. Josephus talks about this. He calls it "the sword of the Lord". The Romans record the same phenomena. Both Romans and Josephus pinpoint this to the 1st century. The Chinese also pinpoint this to the 1st century. The Mayans; it's hard to tell because we're not exactly sure when their calendar started.
Now go back to Exodus. When Israel left Egypt; what did they see on their side of the division between them and the Egyptian army? (They saw a cloud.) What'd the Egyptian army see? (They saw a pillar of fire.)
Fast forward again to the ascension. What did the disciples see? (A cloud.) What did the rest of the world see? (A pillar of fire?)
When Jesus returns; what do you suppose will be the first thing the global media will report? (Probably a comet approaching earth!)
Interesting huh!
Ponder that a bit!
