... that it is leaking away 5 times faster than it returns, so eventually Earth will dry up. However, others point out that different theories indicate that Earth also gains water through asteroid collisions. D. Deming of the University of Oklahoma, even suggests that extra-terrestrial influxes of not only water but also carbon, could have influenced evolution and extinctions. Atmospheric Composition New Scientist 17.6 .00, p. 19, 11.3 .00, p. 23, 16.9 .00, p. 10 In the early days of the Earth, the Sun is supposed to have been cooler than it is now and there was not sufficient carbon dioxide to keep ...
... years have passed by without signs of activity in this highly charged volcanic mountain. Its lavas have consisted for long of leucitic basalt, but the conglomerate strata of Somma indicates formerly a felspathose or trachytic composition, so a change has occurred and the question may be asked, Whence came these subsequent basaltic lavas? Whence this leucitic basalt? The extinct volcanoes of the Campi Phlegraei have almost uniformly produced trachytic lavas. We have, therefore to postulate in the case of Vesuvius a new volcano superimposed on the crater of an older mass which ejects lava in a higher state of incandescence than formerly, and as it grows older shows greater strength than before. 50. Before leaving the neighbourhood ...

... Forshufvud, Eric Crew and Gunnar Heinsohn. - R.M .L . Science Rules The word "Velikovskian" has at last passed into the language, and Velikovskian listeners to BBC's Radio 3 were promised something of a treat when the Radio Times write-up of the "Scientifically Speaking" programme for 5th March likened the Alvarez theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs (see "Extinguishing Marks", SISR IV:I , p. 5) to "some Velikovskian catastrophe". Unfortunately, usage of the word, like that of "aggravate", "chronic" et al., is a little lax, and a far from promising start was made in the programme ...

... even greater. Gould's theories of punctuated equilibrium are reinforced by these studies. He describes the necessity to turn the conventional evolutionary tree of life on its head, for the history of life appears to have lost many of its early types along the way. This pattern occurs over and over again in the course of evolution; after each mass extinction the initial explosion of new replacement types, as with the early mammals after the demise of the dinosaurs, shows a remarkable diversity of forms, few of which survive the earliest stages. Although the actual number of species continues to increase until the next mass extinction, these are but variations upon a relative few of the original themes. ...

107. A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Gigantism and Longevity [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . Abatement of Gigantism We move now to our second and lesser known observation with respect to the paleontological record; it is a related but far more alluring factor. One finds in the fossil record many sequences of ever smaller sub-giant species in ever more recent sites. 10There are several patterns to this size abatement, in some cases leading to extinction. Size reduction occurs on every continent of the world, possibly excepting Antarctica, as well as on several major islands such as Japan, Madagascar, and New Zealand, as well as the Caribbean Antilles.11 The phenomenon of abatement of gigantism clearly happened simultaneously around the globe in the late Pleistocene, that is, at the end ...
... Greenland. The geological formation of the North American land surfaces with their schists, clays, and old red sandstone correspond (says Suess) with the opposing regions of the old world. The fauna and flora Clearly suggest a prior contact. The mammoth, musk-ox, elk, the red deer, and many other species of mammals are now extinct in America or are found only in one continent, but were once common to both. What violent occurrence caused the musk-ox and the Irish elk to become extinct in Europe, and the mammoth of both continents, to quote Suess, "the simultaneous disappearance over vast areas of whole communities"? Something happened all of a sudden. ...
... period, and the time immediately preceding and succeeding it, when the tide hills moved round the Earth very slowly. More than a century ago Cuvier taught that successive worldwide revolutions destroyed all life, and were followed by repeated new creations. The theory was eventually given up because Cuvier's supposed cataclysms remained purely hypothetical and because he stipulated the complete extinction of all life and the creation of an entirely new series of living beings in every geological age, which was felt to be impossible and proved to be incorrect. Hoerbiger's Theory now shows up the nature and causation of these successive cataclysms, and also shows that though truly Earth-spanning they were, though worldwide, by no means universal. ...

... it clear that the Deluge drownings were caused by forty days and nights of rainstorms. Once more this favours the Cenozoic era and not the Mesozoic or Dinosaurian era. A possible new sequence of the geological ages might be: Cenozoic Holocene - Neolithic, Bronze, Iron Pleistocene, Tertiary - Noachian Deluge - many giant forms of today's mammals become extinct (cf. Genesis 6:4 ) Palaeocene - period of change between dinosaurs and mammals Mesozoic, Palaeozoic - Land and sea creatures of the Dinosaurian era. They are contemporary and not separated by hundreds of millions of years as under the conventional scheme. Mostly destroyed by sea wave invasions caused by comet strikes in the oceans. Terry ...
