The Threat of Comets and Asteroids by Gerrit Verschuur (Oxford University Press, New York & Oxford, 1996) Reviewed by Benny J Peiser The crash of Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter in the summer of 1994 proved to be a watershed in the development of neo-catastrophism. In retrospect, the flood of publications on the crash and related issues since this multiple impact suggests that we are in the midst of the second phase of a prolonged scientific revolution. The dramatic changes in the understanding and perception ...

... Indies black, had learned of eschatological beliefs among various ethnic and religious groups. After I listened to his animated narration I asked him to write down something of it. He did so, and with his permission I present here a few extracts from his already concise script. "I am impressed by the extent to which conscious preoccupation with catastrophes- past and present- is characteristic of the adherents of some religious groups, and the two related facts that: a. catastrophe is invested with hope', being seen dialectically as a necessary prelude to an era more rewarding than the present one being experienced. b. the personality types who hold this view, in certain groups ...
93. Controversy: Catastrophism and Evolution, The Ongoing Debate, by Trevor Palmer (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents Controversy: Catastrophism and Evolution, The Ongoing Debate by Trevor Palmer (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 1999, ISBN 0-306-45751-2, £55) Reviewed by Richard Huggett The aim of this book is to show how recent geological discoveries have shaken the tenets of neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory. The neo-Darwinian synthesis, which combines genetics with traditional Darwinism, sees evolution as a serenely slow, little-by-little process of natural selection. To neo-Darwinians, the results of natural selection - new forms - are imperceptible over short periods and display progressive characteristics that arise not from a preordained plan of linear ...

95. The World Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The World Ages A conception of ages that were brought to their end by violent changes in nature is common all over the world. The number of ages differs from people to people and from tradition to tradition. The difference depends on the number of catastrophes that the particular people retained in its memory, or on the way it reckoned the end of an age. In the annals of ancient Etruria, according to Varro, were records of seven elapsed ages. Censorinus, an author of the third Christian century and compiler of Varro, wrote that "men thought that different prodigies appeared by ...

... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:1 (Sep 1997) Home | Issue Contents Thoth Vol I, No. 15. June 7, 1997 Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) In confronting the strange consistency of planetary mythology one must ultimately ask the question asked more than 45 years ago by Immanuel Velikovsky, author of World in Collision. At the heart of Velikovsky's controversial thesis was a seemingly outrageous idea. He claimed that planets, moving on quite different courses than observed today, formerly disturbed the motions of the Earth and caused great destruction to ancient nations. These extraordinary events, Velikovsky claimed, are recorded in ancient chronicles, ...
