... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 1 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times Bernard Newgrosh INTRODUCTION In recent years the Theory of Uniformity has been subject to some considerable criticism, and its great rival of old - Catastrophism - has commanded attention once more. Indeed, Catastrophism is currently in vogue. Whilst there is not yet general agreement among scientists as to the role of global catastrophes in shaping the geological history of Earth, such ideas are being debated and would appear to be gaining acceptance. By way of contrast, the reaction of most scientists and archaeologists to the idea that global catastrophes may have shaped Earth's more recent past ...
72. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology Irving Wolfe Département d'études anglaises, Université de Montréal Introduction In this second of a pair of articles, I will submit cosmology to the same kind of catastrophically-oriented bottom-line analysis as I performed on religion. This paper, therefore, will also be a thought experiment which will carry out a marketing analysis of the history of cosmic ideas in the West. Which were the major winners in the past 3000 years? What did each one sell? Why were they successful? And do they have anything in common? Using the working hypothesis ...

... into their vibrations. I never did find a good answer to that argument, but nevertheless I still do not believe in fairies. Bob Forrest Manchester, March 1982. Section 18. The Ermitage Papyrus. WIC p.114, V writes: In the Ermitage Papyrus (Leningrad, 1116b recto) also, reference is made to a catastrophe that turned the land upside down; happens that which never (yet) had happened'. V here refers to the "Cambridge Ancient History" (1923), vol.I , p.340- 346, and A.H .Gardiner's translation and commentary, "New Literary Works from Ancient Egypt" in the Journal ...
74. Catastrophism and the Old Testament [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XII:1 (Jan 1990) Home | Issue Contents (advertisement) Catastrophism and the Old Testament by: Donald Wesley Patten Uniformitarianism has ruled almost supreme for the last 100 years. However, with the advent of the space missions investigating the planets, and with our planet being littered with fossils indicating sudden deaths, catastrophism has slowly advanced to challenge uniformitarianism. It has risen with the help of pioneers like Donald Patten. His new book, Catastrophism and the Old Testament, ought to lead astronomers, cosmologists and others to re-examine their old ideas and theories, linked to the 200-year old nebular hypothesis. Don is inquisitive. He looks for ...
75. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... the basis of this evidence, I will offer my own theory about the nature of enduring narrative art, about what makes a great artist create and how he does it, and about what happens when man reacts to such art. In my opinion, the nest important level at which all of these things occur is the subconscious, and catastrophic memories are directly involved. That is to say, the source of the catastrophic details and pattern such as I find in this play, the reasons why a great artist is moved to embody these in his narrative, and the reasons why we respond to these elements as we do, all occur beneath conscious knowledge. They are nevertheless ...

77. Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 2: (Spring-Summer 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism Thomas Mowles Evidence supporting Worlds in Collision' Thomas Mowles is an engineer, Inorganic Materials Research Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, California. 1. INTRODUCTION In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky proposed a physical, catastrophic hypothesis based primarily upon historical evidences (1 ). Scientists, however, will not accept such a hypothesis unless the physical evidence is compelling, and historians are not likely to interpret their own data in opposition to the "laws of science." Nor will purely theoretical models carry much weight in supporting so revolutionary ...
78. Catastrophism and the Compulsion to Meaning [Articles]
... Catastrophism and the Compulsion to Meaning William Mullen The work of Velikovsky holds itself at a kind of virginal distance from its own significance. The achievement of the author of "Worlds in Collision" is neither to have proposed a theory nor expounded a system, but simply to have reconstructed a set of events. These events are only indirectly related to processes occurring in the present, and their causes cannot be traced indefinitely back into the past. They do not provide the intellectual satisfaction of contemplating the structure of reality as we are now able to observe it, nor of defining an original first cause by which subsequent events have been determined in their essence. The evidence that they ...
79. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophism and Evolution http://www.knowledge.co.uk/sis/controv.htm Controversy. Catastrophism and Evolution: The Ongoing Debate. A book by Trevor Palmer, Nottingham Trent University, UK. Controversy puts the reader at the forefront of the scientific revolution against traditional views of evolution. The champion of alternative views, Catastrophism, declares that sudden cataclysmic events, such as meteor showers, cause mass extinctions followed by rapid bursts of new species - in direct opposition to the Modern Synthesis of neo-Darwinism, the offspring of Darwinism and Genetics, which maintains that evolution is ...

... as others on science, and is a space operations specialist at NASA's Mission Control in Houston, Texas. In his criticism Oberg states: "In fact, Velikovsky did have his antecedents, however much his followers refused to face up to such previous analogues. In three separate cases, lengthy books had chronicled ancient legends as proof of interplanetary catastrophes, often with uncanny parallels to Velikovsky's reconstructions. Yet, although Velikovsky must have read these books (they were available at the Columbia library) and used them as source materials, NO MENTION OF THEM HAS EVER BEEN MADE IN HIS WRITINGS- perhaps because their authors have been totally discredited as crackpots. But they have not been forgotten by ...
