... . When they consider this definition thoughtfully, many geologists realize that they do not really agree with it. Too many events in the Earth's history do not fit a uniformitarian system - enormous calderas, plateau basalts, ice ages, alpine nappes, bone breccias, the sudden appearance of diversified life at the close of the Precambrian, the abrupt extinction of dinosaurs and ammonites, and so on. In a uniformitarian system the sedimentological and paleontological records are contradictory; if we assume uninterrupted sedimentation, we have to accept catastrophes in evolution; if we do not accept catastrophes in evolution we have to postulate major gaps in the sedimentary record. We can of course, by retrograde extrapolation over ...
202. The Sahara. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... earth. What is now the desert of Sahara was an open grassland or steppe in earlier days. Drawings on rock of herds of cattle, made by early dwellers in this region, were discovered by Barth in 1850. Since then many more drawings have been found. The animals depicted no longer inhabit these regions, and many are generally extinct. It is asserted that the Sahara once had a large human population that lived in vast green forests and on fat pasture lands. Neolithic implements, vessels and weapons made of polished stone, were found close to the drawings. Such drawings and implements were discovered in the eastern as well as the western Sahara. Men lived in these ...
203. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by Jeffrey McKee (Rutgers University Press, $27) Human evolution is currently believed to have been channelled by climate changes. McKee thinks it has been independent of climate and the prime agent of change is some intrinsic internal force. He points out the huge role of chance in the science of palaeontology; a group may not have become extinct simply because there are no fossils, because there may not have been the right conditions to produce a fossil-bearing sedimentation layer. The following books are obtainable from Sourcebook Project, P.O . Box 107, Glen Arm, MD 21057, USA. Sterling cheques to William R Corliss' at prevailing exchange rates. Postage: $1 ...
204. Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 4 No 4 (1999) Home | Issue Contents PART III Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover Charles Ginenthal In my book The Extinction of the Mammoths I made my position clear regarding the reasons that the mammoths could live in northern Siberia during the hipsithermal based on the concept that the pole of rotation was at about eight to nine degrees from perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit. 95 I also touched on this topic in my "ICE" paper. If the pole was much more perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit, for the most part, the Arctic Ocean would have been entirely or mostly ice-free in summer and ...
205. The Planet Earth, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... igneous rock that became heated and molten after there was life on the earth. Upon strata which show no signs of fossil life are strata containing shells, and sometimes the shells are so numerous as to constitute the entire mass of rock. They are often found in the hardest rock. Higher strata contain skeletons of land animals, often of extinct species, and not infrequently, above the strata with the remains of land animals are other strata with marine fauna. The species of the animals, and even their genera, change with the strata. The strata often assume an oblique position, sometimes being almost vertical; frequently they are faulted and overturned in many ways. Cuvier ( ...
206. Changes in the Rotation Axis of Earth After Asteroid/cometary Impacts and Their Geological Effects [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Effects Ing. Ammiraglio Flavio Barbiero Accademia Navale, Livorno The geological history of Earth is characterised by long periods of absolute stability, interrupted by short violent crisis, during which there are volcanic eruptions, orogenesis, climatic changes, inversions of the magnetic field, sea level variations and very often a radical change in the ecological equilibrium, with mass extinction and the emergence of new species. For some of these crises it was possible to prove that their beginning coincides with the impact of an asteroid; therefore a connection of cause-effect between these two events can be hypothesised. This work shows that the impact of astronomical objects as small as an Apollo class asteroid could "trigger" a process ...
207. Editorial C&AH II:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... discussed over and over when proof is necessary for ancient catastrophism. The other article is by Donald and Phillip Patten; it covers, among many things, the destruction of the giant mammals (megafauna). In the September issue of National Geographic an article, "Search for the First Americans." had to come to terms with this extinction of megafauna and the rise of the pygmy fauna all within one millennium. The Pattens tie the extinction of the megafauna with the abatement of longevity among the Biblical Patriarchs. This should cause much discussion. In Interaction we have a fine piece by Lester Mitcham on Carthage. The subject of Carthage, Aeneas, and the Trojan War is ...

... of the [Arabian] Peninsula." So wrote Philby in his book Arabia.1 There was also a large lake in Arabia that disappeared in some geological or climatal change.2 At present, from Palmyra to Mecca and beyond, the Arabian Peninsula is a waterless desert, interspersed with volcanoes active not so long ago, but now extinct, the last eruption having taken place in 1253.3There were also, sometime in the past, numerous geysers all likewise extinct now. Twenty-eight fields of burned and broken stones, called harras, are found in Arabia, mostly in the western half of the great desert. Some single fields are one hundred miles in diameter and occupy ...

... Climate and conditions throughout the world have undergone drastic changes since the Great Catastrophe, yet it is surprising how many landmarks and other evidence have survived. Nor is it so very long ago since the British Isles and even the more northerly Scandinavian lands enjoyed an exquisite climate and must have been a very Utopia.4 True, several volcanoes now extinct then floifrished, but climatically they compared with Madeira or the Mores, except that the air was more balmy, the soil more fertile, and pleasant zephyrs brought refreshing rains so that all kinds of trees and shrubs, fruits, vegetables, and flowers flourished. In the antediluvian age Britain's forests and woods covered immense areas and included all ...
