... craters, could strike our Earth. Consequently the study of meteorites was of interest only to astronomers, and it remained inconceivable that it could have any bearing on our planet's geological evolution. A large circular depression was known to exist in the desert of Arizona, not far from Canyon Diablo. Its name was Coon Butte or Canyon Diablo crater ... above the surrounding plain and is visible from a great distance. It was known that from time immemorial iron fragments of different sizes had been collected from around the crater. Geologists attributed the structure to a volcanic explosion, although it lies in a country where little evidence of volcanic activity was known. As early as 1894, the meteoritic character ...
352. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... destruction of Sennacherib's army around Jerusalem in a single night. In a series of publications in the early Fifties, Velikovsky produced a wealth of evidence from mythological, historical, geological and astronomical sources to support his claims of planetary-induced mass destruction. On the basis of his research he made assertions about the members of the solar system that the results ... Hindley in "Down to Earth with a Bump", an article describing technically the possibilities and effects of meteoritic impacts on the Earth. It is obvious that cosmologists and geologists have come to accept impacts of various grades as a way of life; only the students of life, the biologists, are still reluctant to entertain the idea of ...
... Breakdown of the Satellite The Migrations of the Anchorage Bollard Evidences of Earlier Satellites The Continental Tables The Capture of Luna Chapter I How the Earth came into Being Most books on geology do not contain a single chapter on cosmogony. Their authors regard the Earth as being there' already, a sphere of glowing molten material, no matter how and ... rotate? This is a problem which is not usually treated in geological books, nor, surprisingly, is it dealt with satisfactorily and convincingly in astrophysical works. Very frequently geologists tend towards the opinion that in its earliest age the Earth was spinning very rapidly on its axis, one day' perhaps amounting to no more than about three or ...

... upon a time, long, long ago . . ." ? And the giants are no longer threatening and the monsters are no longer real. According to the general geological scheme, five hundred million years ago the first forms of life appeared on earth; two hundred million years ago life developed into reptilian forms that dominated the scene, ... dragged up by the rise of the mountain. But this was entirely unexpected: "These deposits contain palcolithic fossils." And this, according to Arnold Heim, Swiss geologist, would make it plausible that the mountain passes in the Himalayas may have risen, in the age of man, three thousand feet or more, "however fantastic ...
355. The Gaseous Complex [Books] [de Grazia books]
... sunspots should become less intense and more sporadic with the passage of time, like the plasmoids and bolts of Jupiter. Climate is the typical behavior of the atmosphere over any geological column during a longish time. Every island, they say in the Caribbean and Aegean Seas, has its own climate; "mini-climate" would be precise. More ... , and many doubts when we try to use it for the turbulent recent times. A great many works on pre-history try to associate events with climatic changes. Considering that geologists have failed to establish confidence in climatic boundaries and periods, the pre-historian's failure is predictable. For instance, classicist Rhys-Carpenter has endeavored to explain as a climatic worsening over ...
356. Problems of Continental Drift [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Upheaval in 1956 the scientific climate was in fact still largely unfavourable to continental drift theory. So Velikovsky felt justified in agreeing, for once, with the prevailing opinions in geological circles. Today of course continental drift is one of the most entrenched paradigms of modern science. There are still, however, a few dissenters, and many problems ... involving a change in gravity. (See Peter Smith: "Journey to the Edges of the Earth", The Guardian, 12th February 1981.) And while most geologists and geophysicists in the western world are now happy to accept continental drift as a working hypothesis, the theory has as yet made little headway in the USSR, where ...
... as in Gambier's Group, rocks composed of porous lava and other volcanic substances rise up, resembling the two Kammenis and other eminences of igneous origin." (Principles of Geology, III, p.309.) There can be no question but that the Southern Pacific Isles are volcanic and that the lagoons are the former craters, either ... of which had disappeared and ten were inhabited. (J . Lewin, Earthquakes, p.25.) The Coral Islands of the Pacific have been a mystery to geologists for a long time. Sir Charles Lyell dwelt upon their peculiar configuration. In one passage he says: "The circular or oval forms of the numerous coral isles ...
358. The Caves Of England. Ch.2 Revolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Caves Of England In 1823, William Buckland, professor of geology at the University of Oxford, published his Reliquiae diluvianae (Relics of the Flood), with the subtitle, Observations on the organic remains contained in caves, fissures, and ... have exceeded five or six thousand years, the figure adopted also by De Luc, Dolomieu, and Cuvier, each of whom presented his own reasons. Then the illustrious geologist added these words: "What [the] cause was, whether a change in the inclination in the earth's axis, or the near approach of a comet, ...

... a period, moreover, which was placed hundreds of thousands years ago."1 . It was regarded as an established fact in the history of climate and in historical geology that during the period since the close of the glacial ages, called Recent, the climate of the earth did not change appreciably. Then, in 1910, at ... C ., a time period that is well within recorded history. "The beginning of the period of unchanging climate' has advanced later and later before the attacks of geologists, and now, in the minds of most of the authors who concern themselves with the subject, it apparently stands only a few centuries before Christ."3 ...
360. Society News (AGM 2000) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... taken literally. His conclusions did not bode well for some chronological reconstructions. We were then very pleased to be able to welcome Han Kloosterman who used to edit a catastrophist geology journal, perhaps familiar to longer standing members, and whose long experience of geology in Brazil had led him to question and come into conflict with the accepted norms of ... out he had added a note under universal conflagration' to say he had been involved in correspondence with a fundamentalist' but omitted mention of Han, who was a qualified geologist. The layers are variously described as part of a normal soil profile, as due to humans, or even a dry spell with local forest fires but these explanations ...
