Concerning
Proof of the Glaciers, Chapter 13, page 60, the following elaboration is instructive:
The newspapers say, “To lose weight, move to Northern Canada!” The reason: gravity in Northern Canada is less. Why? The greatness of the northern ice mass that centered over Northern Canada left a “significant depression.” Gravity is less there because the Glacial Epoch’s ice mass pushed the earth’s surface down and to the side leaving less mass there and therefore less gravity there.

Concerning the appendix article,
The Stars and Time (p.96) the following is an elaboration of possible stellar red shifts. This elaboration could be called, Stellar red shifts and Big Bang Cosmology. In apologetics, time is a very important issue.
The following is evidence that gravity reddens light, i.e. that gravity absorbs photon energy:
1 – Assume that the space between a star and the viewer is a vacuum, i.e. that intervening space is essentially free of gasses.
2 – Assume that the star’s emission is white light.
3 – Assume that the star’s light, as seen by the viewer, has been red-shifted.
4 – Because a photon’s energy is directly proportional to its frequency, with its red shift, that star’s photons lost energy in transit.
5 – Where did that energy go? The conservation of energy principle requires an explanation.
6 – With a spatial vacuum between the star and the viewer, the only other unique medium filling that space is the field of gravity. (Electromagnetic fields do not interact.)
7 – Therefore gravity must have absorbed that lost photon energy. Therefore gravity reddens light.
8 – Therefore, red shifts may not be due to star-motion away from the earth;...
