... 1 , pp.30-31). Then in May 1983 the geological meeting at the Dahlem conference showed a strong bias towards extraterrestrially caused catastrophism (see SISW 5:4 , pp.26-27). At this conference Raup mentioned work, later published in collaboration with Sepkoski,(2 ) which appears to have set off a major intellectual earthquake. Raup and Sepkoski correlated the dates of known extinctions of species on Earth and concluded that mass extinctions have taken place with a regular periodicity of 26 million years. The improbability of regular periodicity of any kind being a function of biological evolution itself led them to suspect an extraterrestrial cause. Palaeontologists are not agreed on the role of outside ...
... to migrate towards its present position in the way indicated. The capture deformations cracked the whole terrestrial lithosphere into slabs. Terrific strains were set up everywhere, as these slabs were packed closer here and less closely there, warped, tilted, extended, squeezed, raised, depressed. The setting up of these strains and their compensation caused great earthquakes to shake the Earth, and also great volcanic activity. The orography of many parts of the continents suffered profound changes: rivers were diverted, lakes disappeared in one place, and new sheets of water came into existence in another. All the major waterfalls of our world are given a very recent date. We may safely attribute the ...

... lake Triton.(5 ) This lake disappeared in a catastrophe in Africa when it broke into the ocean, leaving the desert of Sahara behind it, a catastrophe connected with the birth of Athene. Diodorus,(6 ) referring to undisclosed older authorities, says that Lake Triton in Africa "disappeared from sight in the course of an earthquake, when those parts of it which lay toward the ocean were torn asunder." This account implies that a great lake or marsh in Africa, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a mountainous barrier, disappeared when the barrier was broken or lowered in a catastrophe. Ovid says that Libya became a desert in consequence of Phaėthon's conflagration. ...
356. The Israelite Exodus and the Volcanic Eruption of Thera [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... been championed by a number of scholars in the 1960's, [2 ] but it never much persuaded biblical historians. Now, however, increasing numbers of conservative Christian students of the Bible seem to be adopting Wilson's synthesis of Goedicke's and Bimson's views. [3 ] The stages of Thera's destruction are now quite clear. First there was an earthquake which heavily damaged the town on Thera and probably forced its inhabitants to abandon it. After the tremors subsided some people returned to their homes and tried to repair them. But before they had managed to get much of the site cleared of debris the volcanic eruption commenced. A vent opened and large amounts of ash and pumice began to ...
357. The Love Affair as the Mask of Tragedy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . The biblical prophets convey some impressions of the state of mind in the throes of disaster. The mind of today, developed in the imagery of nuclear bomb devastation, can perhaps understand something of their feelings. Accounts of historically experienced natural disasters such as Vesuvius, Krakatoa, the Pestigo (Wisconsin) forest fire, and the great Lisbon earthquake lend analogous material. What had really happened had probably caused repeated surges of disjoined symbols and thoughts. The poetry must have sprung originally from a chaos of sounds, sights and human babel and ejaculations, uttered by many tongues, over hours and days of time. A "normal" adult would probably have been reduced to bodies of ...

... He argues that impact events could have little effect on the Earth's magnetic field if this derives from a core-dynamo action. Although he admits there is no consensus on what drives the motions of liquids in Earth's core, he indicates that irregularities in material properties, physical or chemical processes or fluid dynamical turbulence could provide the stimulus to magnetic reversals. Earthquake electrics?source: NEW SCIENTIST 6.11.86, p.35 A Californian worker has been correlating earthquakes in Chile with the Moon's position.

360. The Atlantis Researches by Paul Dunbavin (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Pre-dynastic Egypt from the Old Kingdom. Velikovsky, I think, intended to place a great catastrophe at this time possibly involving the biblical flood. Dunbavin provides all the evidence that might be required for such an hypothesis, and indeed, may also explain Graham Hancock's sunken cities off the coast of India. In Dunbavin's scenario impact events triggered earthquakes, volcanoes and plate movements, and they also lowered global temperature. Impacts in the ocean caused tidal waves and flooding, and he quotes 6000 BC as an example (variously 5500 and 6500 BC, differing amongst diverse authors) in an event that involved Britain being torn apart from the continent. He points out that the Baltic was ...
