... other planets, has been debated time and again without much progress.(94) Atmospheric and thermal conditions are so different on other planets that it seems incredible that the same forms of life exist there as on the earth; on the other hand, it is wrong to conclude that there is no life on them at all. Modem biologists toy with the idea that micro-organisms arrive on the earth from interstellar spaces, carried by the pressure of light. Hence, the idea of the arrival of living organisms from interplanetary spaces is not new. Whereas there is truth in this supposition of larval contamination of the earth is anyone's guess. The ability of many small insects and their ...
362. The Moon And Its Craters, Part 2 Mars Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... .1 From the Iliad we learn that Aphrodite (the Greek goddess of the moon) was warned by Jupiter-Zeus not to battle Ares-Mars, but to leave this task to Hera-Earth and Pallas Athene, being herself predestined to the sweet work of love. Interplanetary contacts in the celestial sphere are in some respects similar to congress and germination in the biological world. In these contacts the bodies of the planets overflow with lava- fertile ground for vegetation- and comets born of such c ontacts fly across the solar system and rain gases and stones and possibly also spores, germs, or larvae on planets. Thus the notion of the ancients that love affairs were being carried on among the ...
363. In the Beginning -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... oceanographic questions arises. For example, in the Pacific, fauna that are unique are located on islands separated by great distances from other islands and continents. In the last century and in the early part of this century, scientists suggested the existence of land bridges connecting various parts of the world that gradually rose and sank to accommodate these isolated biological faunas. If there was a flood of tremendous dimensions, then these life forms lived on much broader land areas and now survive only on the remnants of these former regions. Catastrophism, in many respects, explains many of these kinds of scientific enigmas. In 1987, S. Epstein did an analysis of organic materials in the Murchison ...

365. Graincollection: Human's Natural Ecological Niche -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . Unlike many of his colleagues, however, he has the honesty to avow that ideology openly rather than hiding it behind a screen of "professional objectivity" and leaving it to his readers to infer, perhaps erroneously, what his beliefs are. He vehemently asserts that the grain collecting niche is the one to which we are best adapted biologically and to which we should return. To this end, he recommends that women deliberately restrict their pregnancies so as to stabilise [and] reduce population; that they free themselves from male control; and that they devote themselves to their children, ensuring that they grow up happy and rebonded to their divine mother, the Earth. Graincollection ...
366. Comets, Meteorites and Earth History [Articles]
... an ideal opportunity for catastrophists to develop points of contact between Velikovskian theories and the revolutionary thesis that simple life-forms can develop in a cometary environment. (cf. Worlds in Collision I, ix: "Baal Zevuv".) The afternoon session will be chaired by Dr Trevor Palmer, Senior Lecturer in Life Sciences at Trent Polytechnic, and biology consultant for the SIS Review. We hope as many members as possible are able to attend this important meeting, and also join the cheese and wine party which will be held afterwards.- Last spring's party was a highly successful and enjoyable social event.- If you would like to attend the party, please fill in the slip ...
367. The Science of Catastrophism [Articles]
... to middle to modern man and human society evolving calmly from primitive savage to hunter-gatherer to modern urbanite. That is the fairy tale, not catastrophism, for, if we are interpreting the evidence correctly, the history of our planet and its inhabitants is jerky and inconsistent, with periods of peace punctuated by outbursts of violence. If social and biological life has "evolved," it has done that spirally and spasmodically. Our task now is to pin the thing down, to sort it out and assign each item of data correctly to form a picture of what really happened. That however is not at all easy, because often the signatures are blurred or are too general or ...

Jill Abery , a recent member of the S.I .S . - a biologist by training and currently working part-time as a chemical analyst - has agreed to cover the "JOURNAL OF EGYPTIAN ARCHEOLOGY". \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\vol0203\05news.htm ...
369. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and the subsequent letters, it becomes obvious that the truth, as so often, lies somewhere between the two extremes. One letter in particular (G . K. Gray, Manchester) sums it up very well, pointing out that not all palaeontologists follow Halstead's belief in evolution as a development through a continuum', but instead that biological evolution is not continuous but is quantised' - which is a logical consequence of modern genetic theory'. A catastrophist view of evolution is the perfect meeting point for the two sets of extremists: on the one hand the fact that the fossil record does indicate change from one type of organism to another (Darwinism), and on ...
370. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... clue was its production as a religious programme in the Everyman series, rather than under the editorial control of BBC2's Horizon science documentary unit, which produced "The Death of the Dinosaurs". While not overtly biassed against either catastrophism or creationism, this presentation lacked any hard discussion of the issues involved. The ubiquitous Stephen Jay Gould (surely biology's answer to super-star Carl Sagan) maintained a loyalty to Darwin, even while beating a retreat to his chosen ground of punctuated equilibria. A professor Smith of Sussex University squirmed in trying to explain away the use Nazi racists had made of Darwin's "survival of the fittest" concept, with all its implications. Apart from an all-too-brief shot ...
