... on the Moon. J. Kelley Beatty, in Sky and Telescope for Feb. 1982, p. 135, informs us that, "One scientist estimates that over geologic time the heat could eradicate 300 km diameter craters simply by making rocks deform plastically back to local sea level." Mars' "surface temperature" at noon at ... could not distinguish between red and white. It appears that there are no limits to the evidence that one may discard to save the established views. Kenneth Hsu words regarding geologists' adherence to uniformitarianism could well apply to the mind-set of the astronomers. "I finally became aware that some of my fellow scientists are possessed by a mentality not ...
532. Earthquakes [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . Some can be located in time; most cannot. But, little by little, the science of myth will move to help the science of the Earth; and geology will move to interpret mythology. Then the ages of quantavolution will assume a clearer shape. The deep valleys, rifts, and canyons of the globe will soon here ... North Sea. All of this is quite recent. The Rhine canyon cuts far out into the bottom of the North Sea, revealing its very late sub-aerial existence. Dutch geologist Doeko Goosen claims that the Netherlands suffered earthquakes more frequently in earlier times [2A]. The Fourteenth Century saw the erasure of many areas and villages. The Alps ...
... recent ideas about the moon. In an article about tidal friction, MacDonald argues that certain information "is not consistent with the hypothesis that the earth-moon system has existed throughout geological tiine".43 Singer later published an article titled "Vvhere Was the Moon Formed?" 44 He mentions some of the properties discovered about lunar rocks and a ... , where petroleum is supposedly formed from hydrogen and carbon under great heat and pressure; and the organic theory, where petroleum forms from plant and animal remains. A Yale geologist, C. R. Longwell, in the August 1950 issue of the American Journal of Science, which he then edited, scorned the idea that petroleum might have ...
534. Reversals of the Earth? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... .e . there is an apparent reversal of the field with respect to the surface observer; v) the Sun would rise in the west. These consequences satisfy the geological, astronomical, historic and legendary data. The actual equatorial axis for the secondary rotation can be established by mathematical analysis of the Earth's shape or from ancient stories of ... this fact that posed such a problem when the results of the remanent magnetism in the rocks pointed firmly to the reversals of the field in the past. At first, geologists sought to explain these reversals by some self-reversing mechanism within the rocks themselves wherein the remanent magnetism could have changed direction after the original imprinting. Such self-reversal has been demonstrated ...
535. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... which has not been satisfactorily explained by uniformitarian geologists. As yet, catastrophists have not provided an alternative model, although an excellent contribution to the debate is contained in Catastrophist Geology (3 :2 , 1978, pp. 10-18). It is possible that the flints do provide evidence of catastrophism on a massive scale, but not for ... However, within this framework there are still many problems. The presence of bedded flint nodules in the Upper Chalk is a phenomenon which has not been satisfactorily explained by uniformitarian geologists. As yet, catastrophists have not provided an alternative model, although an excellent contribution to the debate is contained in Catastrophist Geology (3 :2 , 1978, ...
536. Fractures and Cleavages [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the ice caps, for a deep water basin cannot hold the same amount of ice. A second condition of fracture is a formation that can be split. Millions of geological faults of the Earth attest to the potentiality of rocks for splitting and shearing. If the body to be split is spinning, the slightest delay in spin along a ... the scene of an autopsy. Cook remarks that "there is evidence for the hexagonal structures characteristic of shock fracture..." This is no less than what many geologists have been trying to say in the "tectonic plate" school of thought and the Russian "crystal grid structure" theory that C. Bird has described, all ...
537. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have their inspiration in the spectacular events associated with the evolution of the polar configuration. A seventh basic tenet of the Saturn theory is that future discoveries vis a vis the geology and geomorphology of the respective planets will act to either confirm or deny the model. For it stands to reason that, if the extraordinary history described here has any ... hallmarks of a fulgamite - the raised blister seen on lightning conductors after a strike. Circularity of scarring is diagnostic of the effects of electrical spark-machining' of a surface. Geologists have admitted that they are unable to reproduce the characteristics of impact' craters by firing hyper-velocity projectiles into targets or by using explosions. Bodies entering the Earth's electrical environment ...
538. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... because this is in Midian and Horeb is placed in Midian by Ex. 3:1 and Moses has had so much to do with Midian otherwise [62]. Geological investigations are required before Mount Sinai-Jebel Musa is definitely pronounced a possibility for "electrico-vulcanism," and even less is known of the geology of the several locations heretofore proposed ... much less powerful, non-explosive electrical melts of mountain-tops. The tie-in of electrostatic discharges with a thermal flow through mountaintops is still a problem for a future science. Meteorologists and geologists have no sense of its history, possibility, and effects. Hence for thousands of years Psalmist 97 has been regarded merely as an exuberant poet. The Age of ...

540. Krupp And Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... , England (1971).(18) For someone who obviously regards himself as an authority on paleomagnetism, Krupp seems lamentably ignorant of the facts concerning the archaeological and geological record of the Earth's magnetic field. On the other hand, it would appear that Velikovsky's position vis-à-vis historic magnetic field reversals- given the incredible difficulty of detecting short-lived ... deep sea beds found evidence of a common reversal about 7,000 years ago and correlated this with the Laschamp event. Additionally, one of the most distinguished of contemporary geologists, Rhodes W. Fairbridge,(14) has strongly advanced the merits of the Gothenberg event ca. 13,000 B.C . as being a world-wide ...
