... SIS Meeting 29th October 1983 (afternoon session) Catastrophism and Evolution Trevor Palmer Although it remains probable that natural selection is a major evolutionary mechanism, it no longer seems likely that evolution proceeds in an even-paced manner. Species tend to appear rapidly, by geological standards, and may eventually disappear again equally abruptly, showing few morphological changes in between. On occasions, mass extinctions of species have taken place, to be followed by the rapid appearances of new species to fill vacant ecological niches. Astronomical evidence suggests that at least some mass extinctions are likely to have resulted from the impacts of comets or asteroids upon the Earth, while geological and palaeontological evidence is consistent with the extinctions ...

103. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... say that it is a sort of summary of natural signs' that times were bad' in a political/governmental sense: a list of portents, if you like. I do not think that the events referred to can be taken as causally related to each other, and nor do I think they are interconnected facets of an ongoing catastrophic scenario. Rather, they are scattered, independent signs' relevant to the prevailing political scene. The Mount Tai Chan event (an earthquake or landslide ?) and the River Lao event (a drought ?) are geophysical portents. The two suns (sun- dogs ?- see Part 2, p.118) and the ...
104. Failure of a Concept? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... beginning to, let alone a full platform for a really interdisciplinary working arrangement. And not just that. As a Velikovskian, and from the vantage of one not being bound by the interests of any one-track discipline, I fear to have observed what could well be the first unconscious tremblings of reaction, i.e Revised History Yes, Catastrophes No. While attending members may have gained similar impressions from a number of the ongoing discussions, one of the more important issues of dispute will - very briefly put - at once illustrate as well as substantiate this analysis for other readers, too. I refer to the new idea advanced by our history experts, and strongly opposed to ...

... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Living with Velikovsky: Catastrophism as a World View Patrick Doran Department of Anthropology McMaster University In this paper on catastrophism and its consequences, I consider Velikovsky and "the new Anthropology"; this work removes the study of man from its present scientific, cyclical world view and places it in an apocalyptic cosmos. This is only a shift in perspective. The spadework, and most of the superstructure, have been done long ago at the formation of the world religions, as Velikovsky argues so convincingly. I will present evidence that the New World Hopis built their cosmology on catastrophism. ...
107. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: God's Fire, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER THREE Catastrophe and Divine Fires If the Israelites did not know that a great comet was visiting disaster upon the Earth, they would be the only people in the world from whom the knowledge was withheld. In fact, they did know. And they called it by god-names just as everybody else did in those days. But it is also true that a peculiar kind of suppression of cometary evidence is present in the Israelite record, for which there is an explanation. In Chapter 1, I offered several pieces of evidence that the Israelites knew a comet was in the sky, and that the disasters ...

... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself I hope you will go on with your research. You are working in the right direction and time will help to show the reality of global or near global catastrophes. Already continental or near continental catastrophes cannot be doubted as I showed in my stratigraphical work in the Near East. It will take time for your findings and mine to be acknowledged. This may make us sometimes impatient. But it will stir us to more work and more research. SO ENDED THE ten-page handwritten letter of one of the most eminent archaeologists of our time, ...
109. Times And Dates. Ch.12 The Ruins Of The East (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Times And Dates The evidence of this and preceding chapters should not be interpreted as proving that there were global catastrophes only in the first and second millennia before the present era; but as substantiating the claim that in those times, too, there were global disturbances: these were actually the last in a line that goes back to much earlier times. According to the narrative of Worlds in Collision, two series of world catastrophes took place in recent times: "one that occurred thirty-four to thirty-five centuries ago, in the middle of the second millennium before the present era; the other ...
110. The Great Comet Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... by any reference to the way things are today. More specifically, Velikovsky offered a dramatic profile of the planets, based on myth and symbol- The planet Venus once possessed a comet-like tail, and its orbit brought the planet into confrontation with the Earth. The planet Mars, the war-god of the ancient world, participated directly in Earth-changing catastrophes and appeared to battle other celestial bodies in the sky. During an epoch remembered as the Golden Age, the planet Saturn once shone as the dominant light in the sky- when the Earth was possibly a satellite of Saturn. These principles are not just novel, but central to an entirely new way of looking at man, the ...
