... the sun rose contrary to his wont; twice he rose where he now sets, aid twice he set where ho new rises: yet Egypt at these times underwent no change, neither in the produce of the river and the land, nor in the matter of sickness and death." Ignoring the fact that Herodotus' reversals lack the catastrophic associations of V's, what was Herodotus talking about. The most likely explanation- in orthodox terms- seems to be that Herodotus misunderstood the nature of the Sothic Cycle. The Egyptian civil year consisted of 365 days. The actual solar year, however, consists of 3651/4 days. Thus the civil calendar would have fallen behind ...
42. Scientific Prehistory [Books]
... a pleasant luncheon at the London Hilton, the manuscript of PEM was accepted for publication by Max Parrish & Co., Ltd. Cover Page of PEM by Editor "If the earth is billions of years old, Prehistory and Earth Models argues that all but the last few thousand years of scientifically readable Prehistory has been erased perhaps by world-shaping catastrophes. The observed unbalance of radiocarbon, the abundance and influx of uranium in the oceans and helium in the atmosphere, the instability of palaeo-magnetism in the rocks, and reinterpreted systematic discrepancies in the radioactive `time clocks" are among the substantiating arguments. "` Continental Drift' is described as a recent catastrophic rupture of Pangaea' and ...
43. Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... it is "The Big Lie" couched in terms so as to wreck havoc on one's scientific opponents by repeating the false and caricatured rendition of their catastrophist theory over and over again. "If Lyell cast his vision in cardboard, later retelling of the great dichotomy became even more simplistic. First of all, the two sides received names- catastrophism for the vanquished, uniformitarian for the victors. Names warp any remaining subtlety into neat packages. Secondly, the catastrophist position became more foolish and caricatured in the constant retelling." (10) (Emphasis added) In Gould's review of Jeremy Rifkin's book, Algeny, he is deeply disturbed because, "The basic argument of Algeny ...

From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1994 (Vol XVI) (Oct 1995) Home | Issue Contents A Catastrophist Reading of Religious Systems by Irving Wolfe [* Original paper presented at the Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies Tenth Annual Seminar, Haliburton, Ontario, November 1991. Revised and expanded Feb. 1992. ] This is the first of a pair of articles which have grown out of a talk I gave recently, in which I interrogated our largest belief systems from the point of view of catastrophism. In this article I will focus on religion and perform a thought experiment upon the subject which asks the overriding question - what lies behind the successful religions of the world ...
45. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution by Trevor Palmer Professor Trevor Palmer is Head of the Department of Life Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics at the Nottingham Trent University. He has written 3 books and is author/co-author of around 70 research papers and review articles. In Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution [1 ], written in 1992, I described how historians of science such as Anthony Hallam, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Huggett and Claude Albritton Jr. had, over the previous decade, demolished the prevailing myth of a dichotomy between scientific uniformitarianism and unscientific catastrophism. It was therefore ...
46. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1992 (Vol XIV) Home | Issue Contents Forum Ia. Comet catastrophes: a new synthesis?- the challenge, set by Bernard Newgrosh It is now 42 years since Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision first saw print and whilst his ideas generated debate, controversy and even furore, they are still no nearer to general recognition. This is particularly so of Velikovsky's cosmic catastrophism which featured the planet Venus on a cometary orbit, the planet Mars on an erratic orbit, and Venus, Mars, the Earth and the Moon having near-miss contacts with each other. Mainstream astronomers have repeatedly rejected these ideas and in the strongest possible terms. They ...

48. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol VII Part A (1985) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophism and Evolution Trevor Palmer Dr. Palmer graduated from Cambridge University in 1966 and obtained a Ph.D . from London University in 1973 for research in the field of inborn errors of metabolism. This work stimulated his interest in the origin and evolutionary consequence of genetic mutations. He is the author of Understanding Enzymes (1981) and of over thirty research papers concerned with inherited disorders. Currently, he is Principal Lecturer in Biochemistry at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham. 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 ...

Once you cross over, you cannot look at anything as you did before. Every human activity, from war to government to science to religion to art, is seen in a new, revolutionary light. In this paper, I want to look at William Shakespeare's Antony ...
