It ... would do well to be aware (and wary) of these pitfalls, in both their own work and that of their opponents. Three examples in areas of interest to catastrophists are outlined below. The first is a creationist whose findings are currently being claimed as of great importance by scientific creationists; the second is an eminent orthodox scientist in ...
222. Ancient Astronauts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... civilizations were far more sophisticated than scientists believed until recently. All of these are connected with the suspected foreign visitors by the theory of ancient astronauts. The idea is not catastrophic (although scholarly catastrophists fear it will be catastrophic to the reputation of their work). It enlists catastrophes merely as a convenient means of explaining why the evidence of ... is almost totally lacking: it has been buried or destroyed. Moreover, the idea is eclectic. Much of the material that finds its way into the writings about "ancient astronauts" consist of exotica (" Did you know that...?" and "Believe it or not, but..."), or ...

... have used him to criticize the work of scientists. That's not too surprising because Velikovsky and Hapgood were fishing in much the same waters. They share a common theme in catastrophic pole shifts and appeal to much the same kind of readers. I, on the other hand, came to an entirely different opinion of the book's worth, perhaps ... , for one, has been convinced by Hapgood that Greenland was ice-free only a few thousand years ago. [1 ] Ginenthal, of course, is not the only catastrophist to give Hapgood's book his unqualified endorsement.

... a tornado system. This example of tempestite demonstrates the syngenetic generation of completely indurated and fragile chert nodules within an unconsolidated carbonate sediment and stresses the fact that only events of catastrophic nature and penecontemporaneous with sedimentation can provide such a demonstration. Other instances of similar conditions are reviewed and compared with the investigated example. The early origin of cherts is ...

225. Ice Fields of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Full justice cannot be done here to the case for the ice ages. The conventional literature does so. But because some of the ice age reasoning falls victim readily to catastrophic claims, it may be time to advance the cause of quantavolution. Here three different positions are held: one is that the Ice Ages did not occur. The ... no evidence of the ice ages in the cold Siberian wastelands and parts of Alaska that stretch up to the present Arctic ice. This is true enough. But, most catastrophists believe that a sudden tilt of the Earth occurred in the last ice age and hence these areas had not been so cold before then. However, Donnelly proceeds. ...

Nevertheless I feel these books do leave one with the sense of the true reality of Arthur and, for catastrophists, this reality is infinitely more exciting than the unbelievable tales about a character so unimportant at the time of his supposed existence that there is no contemporary evidence on record ...

That the indigenous peoples of Cuba have not figured at all in catastrophist studies is not surprising.

Shane Mage: "In Worlds in Collision, Plato was cited on numerous usually crucial concepts.
