... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XI:2 (July 1989) Home | Issue Contents Letter to the Editor Noah's Flood: Mars Flyby Donald W. Patten Editor, Catastrophism and Ancient History: It has been suggested that our computer-drawn astronomical model of the Noah Flood be explained in somewhat more detail. We have proposed that this Mars flyby was the most intense and the closest of a long series of planetary "passovers." Figure I models the scope of that catastrophic day in the following terms: (a ) flyby geometry, (b ) flyby distances, (c ) flyby timing, and (d ) the rotating earth's geography. The locations of the two ...
62. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... and found his suggestions to be quite reasonable. Of course, these people are only expressing opinions, but those who offer interpretations unfavorable to Velikovsky's work are also only expressing opinions. The comments in this chapter are not intended to settle the issue; they demonstrate, however, that there is geologic evidence which can be interpreted in terms of catastrophism, and that some reputable workers actually interpret the data in this manner. It should be remembered that Velikovsky does not claim that the earth lived in peaceful co-existence with the other planets for billions of years, and that then, suddenly, the Dragon Planet Venus and the Red Planet Mars ended this primordial detente a few thousand years ago ...

66. Pompous Asimov [Books]
... few attempts to be an actual scientist, and show how his failure there and how mainstream science reacted to it provide further evidence for the Affair. In the final section, I will review two of Asimov's short stories, to illustrate how, when he is being a science fiction writer, he gives great importance to the very sorts of catastrophic events which, in his roles as writer and teacher of science, he tries to deny. Because these co-existing roles which Asimov has freely chosen clash so noticeably among themselves, I will argue that this bizarre bifurcation in the persona of Asimov becomes evidence for Velikovsky. That is to say, when Asimov's left hand denies what his right ...
67. The Ultimate Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents The Ultimate Catastrophe?H. C. Dudley Before the first detonation of an atomic bomb (1945), the probability of igniting the atmosphere and inducing a vast nuclear accident was examined by the leaders of the Manhattan Project. The findings were kept shrouded in top secret governmental files until 1973. A peek at these findings resulted from an interview with one of the directors of the Project in 1959. This was reported by the eminent writer Pearl Buck, generating but little public notice at that time. Nevertheless, the current widespread interest in all aspects of nuclear safety, resulting from ...

Chapter 5 The Erratic Descent of Man Chapter 6 Towards a New Evolutionary Synthesis Chapter 3 Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism Trevor Palmer From catastrophism to neocatastrophism We saw in chapter 2 that the nineteenth century catastrophists and uniformitarians used essentially the same methods, putting science before religious dogma; in consequence, both groups came under criticism from biblical fundamentalists. Catastrophists and uniformitarians alike believed that God had created the laws of nature, and was now ...

... them." He then suggests that if the general theories ". . are disproved, the specific theories become irrelevant. On the other hand some of the specific theories could be drastically modified, or even disproved, without affecting the general theories." MacKie has in mind two main general theories: (1 ) ". . that catastrophes of global extent have afflicted Earth in the past," and (2 ) ". . . that planets of the solar system have come into near contact with each other in the past (and that when such near contacts involved Earth, terrestrial cataclysms occurred)." MacKie sees (1 ) and (2 ) as " ...
