... attempt to smear Velikovsky,(10) Lyell was a man with a gift for words who could spin a persuasive argument about any subject. The subject he chose was geology and his argument came out in a book called PRINCIPLES OF GEOLOGY. It was, says Gould, "one of the most brilliant briefs ever published by an advocate ... holds no book at all for Scientific Creationists. In an earlier essay, no 14, An Unsung Single-Celled Hero',(13) Gould cheers: "The great geologist Charles Lyell argued that a scientific hypothesis is elegant and exciting insofar as it contradicts common sense." Here, he is praising one Steven M. Stanley of John ...
222. The Punctuation Marks of Geological History [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History III:1 (Jan 1981) Home | Issue Contents The Punctuation Marks of Geological History Charles H. Hapgood There is much geological evidence pointing to the occurrence of catastrophes, not necessarily cataclysms involving the entire earth, but catastrophes in a true sense just the same. One of these occurred in South ... a shift of the earth's outer layers would involve, as a consequence, some radical geological alterations such as those occurring in South America. Edward Suess, perhaps the greatest geologist of the late nineteenth century, after expressing his doubts about the validity of geological gradualism, wrote in his The Face of the Earth: The convulsions which have affected ...

... modify established conceptual frameworks. In the last century, this was demonstrated in the academic and social approach to the theory of evolution in general, and the validity of the geological and paleontological records in particular. In this century, one is now asked to rethink the traditional interpretation of the dinosaurs in light of a new critical analysis of the ... reconstructions of some of the major finds, as well as a map of sites and geologic time scale (there is a bibliography and index). In this century, geologists and paleontologists have designated the Mesozoic Era as the "Age of Reptiles" (this time period beginning about 230 million years ago and lasting until about 70 million years ...

... cycle of solar activity as it occurred in ancient times. The average length of the sunspot cycle that has been worked out through this method in the sedimentary rocks of past geologic ages is as follows: Pre-Cambrian 11.3 years Superior Devonian 11.4 years Inferior Carboniferous 11.4 years Eocene 12.0 years Oligocene 11.5 ... , a reliance on modern rates and other characteristics of sedimentation cannot be made to apply to the past. Even Zeuner confesses that, in estimating the rate of sedimentation, geologists rely "on cumulative effects which have to be measured under present-day conditions and then applied to the past," which, as he himself admits, suffers from certain ...
... be content to remain in a rut. The Americans, however, are taking a strong interest in meteorism and its results. These two forms of science, astronomy and geology, may be said with sorrow to lag deplorably. Another prolific source of misunderstanding of the past is related to the vexed question of chronology. Space again has prevented ... can be ignored by future writers on this or kindred subjects. It is regrettable that in this new outlook upon the hidden past it should be necessary to tilt against those geologists who have persisted in elevating into a doctrine the Ice Age and Drift theory, thus leading astray many investigators who have accepted their unproven claims. Instead of recognizing that ...

Among them are such well-known figures as Eusebius, Pliny, Plutarch, Ovid, Seneca, Varro, and Augustine [3 ]. Further, every modern archaeologist and geologist whose investigations can be indisputably fixed in the period have reported serious physical upheavals [4 ]. I use this insistent form to express the generality of agreement; contemporary ...

A number of geologists and others are under the impression, on both geological and archaeological evidence, that the land surface between London and the mouth of the Thames was several feet higher 2 000 years ago. Messrs. F. I. ... it all the de'bris as they do carry in their violent and wild escapade, and that at this time the entire population was destroyed or else fled.

... explain why. Chemists have now found that proteins in cell membranes act like magnets and can therefore be aligned by an external field, causing disruption of normal cell functioning. GEOLOGY One Crystal Rewrites Earth History New Scientist, 20.4 .02, p. 18 Geologists have long assumed early Earth was extremely hot but a tiny crystal of ... found in western Australia, supposedly 4.4 billion years old (i .e . from this early period) has a high concentration of an oxygen isotope which indicates it was formed in liquid water, so Earth must have been cooler. Geologists are already making up elaborate scenarios (involving cataclysmic asteroid strikes!) to explain this. ...

... Polar Publishing, PO Box 4220, Station C, Calgary, Alberta, Canada) In the first ten pages of his book, C. Warren Hunt tells us how geological orthodoxies do not fit the facts, and how the obfuscation of the past 160 years has resulted in fossilized theories that explain nothing. This is a cautionary tale just ... , only to change to enthusiastic acceptance in 1969 when Vine and Matthews suggested an explanation for the magnetic reversal patterns each side of the mid-ocean ridges, which vindicated Wegener. Geologists should treat C. Warren Hunt's proposal with respect (his Carbide/Hydride hypothesis will be published in Environment of Violence II), for who knows but that the ...

... if his understanding of the evidence was correct then Venus' surface should exhibit all the conditions of a world that was very recently molten and is most likely still volcanic and geologically active. In 1985, Dr. Lawrence Colin, Chief of the Space Science Division at nasa's Ames Research Center and co-editor of Venus, wrote: .. . ... recently, according to latest radar results. And an appreciable amount of the planet's heat may escape through these lava flows, rather than through large volcanoes and rift valleys that geologists have known for some years. In the plains the researchers found dozens of small vents, which oozed lava without forming volcanic cones. The researchers say, "The ...
