... away from the Sun by the pressure of light; Jupiter and Saturn have been cold and inactive since the early history of the solar system; The planet Mars has been geologically dead for more than a billion years; Venus is our "sister planet," with temperatures close to those of the Earth; There are no other galaxies outside ... , many proposed catastrophic flooding as the cause. But scrutiny of later images revealed no outwash or debris field left by erosion, and there was no sign of ponding. Geologists began to speculate about "unknown" causes of surface spreading and "mass wasting" on a scale never before imagined. But there is no sign of where the ...
362. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... internal sources quite far from those normally taken into calculation by geologists in explaining surface rocks and features. The challenge that the nineteenth-century genius, Ignatius Donnelly, put to the geological world, that the vast unstratified layers of clay, till, and stones that cover much of the globe are of extra-terrestrial and cometary origin, was not too well ... counts to a million or more years. The last ice age has been moved up to a point where homo sapiens is readily recognizable, and has been given by many geologists a huge, abrupt beginning and/or conclusion. All agree that, on occasion, as far back as the fossil record may carry, and up into early ...
363. Fossil Deposits [Books] [de Grazia books]
... well-preserved, suddenly frozen life forms found in various places. Moreover, in every area of the globe where collective disaster is manifested among the plant and animal species, the geology of the areas usually confirms the biology: ooze and clay boundaries shift in the deposits of the ocean beds; organic layers are sandwiched between inorganic; ash is generally ... such breccias are more common from certain periods of Earth history than from others." The story and comments are those of Hans Kloosterman, Editor of the magazine, Catastrophist Geologist. Kloosterman's note receives a reply from Richard H. Tedford, Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, the American Museum of Natural History: The hypothesis you object to also bothers ...

... idea or is it now so entrenched that it no longer needs to be mentioned? The greatest extinction?New Scientist 25.1 .92, pp. 51-55 The geological boundary between the Permian and Triassic periods records the largest extinction the world has ever known, with 96% of all species disappearing in a catastrophically short time. The ... generally accepted, having been carved at the end of the last ice age by an advanced civilisation later wiped out in the Deluge, has been involved with Schoch, a geologist, who has probed the structure of the rocks with special seismic techniques and declares that weathering patterns confirm that the sphinx is thousands of years older than thought. However ...
365. Acknowledgments (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... defined points of disagreement, his stand then demonstrated the evolution of his opinion in the space of eighteen months. Professor Waldo S. Glock, Chairman of the Department of Geology at Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, a recognized authority in dendrochronology (dating of tree rings), with the help of his graduate students searched the ... , never tired of testing mathematically and of commenting on various problems in electromagnetism and in celestial mechanics which I offered for discussion. Dr. T. E. Nikulins, geologist in Caracas, Venezuela, repeatedly drew my attention to various publications in the scientific press that might be of help to me; he supplied me with the source dealing ...
... . Scientists do not spray out ideas in shotgun fashion as though expecting others to pick them up and work them through. Velikovskians delight in it: "the house of geology needs to be rebuilt from the cellar up," says Mullen. But perhaps the ultimate in wishful SF thinking is the Velikovskians' view of Cosmos without Gravitation. ... blending but for rejecting wholesale the accepted views in several disciplines; for his ignorance concerning much that he discussed or rejected; for saying that astronomers were wrong about astronomy, geologists about geology, historians about history, physicists about physics. Velikovsky's "challenge to conventional views in science" (Chapter ~, Velikovsky's Later Work) was not so ...
367. The Carolina Bays. Ch.7 Deserts And Oceans (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... as the usual interpretation.3 The authors of the theory stress the fact that, "Since the origin of the bays apparently cannot be explained by the well-known types of geological activity, an extraordinary process must be found. Such a process is suggested by the elliptical shape, the parallel alignment, and the systematic arrangement of elevated rims. ... Geology, XLI (1933). 3. Cf. Johnson, The Origin of the Carolina Bays, p. 4. 4. Melton and Schriever, Journal of Geologv, XLI (1933), 56. 5. Johnson, The Origin of the Carolina Bays, p. 93. 6. Cf. C. P. ...
368. New Physics Supports Planetary Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mars, Phobos, has such rilles and Venus holds the record with a winding rille 6,800 km long and a steady 2 km wide! Are we to assume geological activity on a 20 km rock or a lava flow over hill and dale for almost 7,000 km? Anode scars result in circular craters which are universally misinterpreted ... the discharge moves rapidly across a surface, blasting a snaking channel as it follows the field along topographic highs and often creating a chain of circular craters in the process. Geologists have described them as collapsed lava tubes or grabens where gas has vented to create chains of circular craters. These are desperate analogues which do not conform to the observed ...

... eruption, completely ignores celestial factors. Thus Galanopoulos took Velikovsky (among others) to task for "calling up bizzare and completely imaginary extraterrestrial phenomena which are directly contradicted by geological and cosmological science relating to the history of the earth and solar system" (31). Dorothy B. Vitaliano, an affiliate of the U.S . ... , has wondered at the destruction which occurred to high Cretan sites well above the reach of the ravaging waves (36). What was not considered by the archaeologists, geologists, and seismologists, however, were two additional questions: 1) Could another agent independent and in concert with Thera have caused the widespread destruction that was found on ...
370. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... totally unwarranted because there is more than one way for helium to escape the atmosphere. This issue is thoroughly discussed by G. Brent Dalrymple of the U.S . Geological Survey in "How Old is the Earth?: A Reply to Scientific' Creationism", Proceedings of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Pacific Division, AAAS, ... significant shifts of the crust of the Earth have taken place repeatedly and within a short time." That, I remind you, was at a time when physicists and geologists were saying that "there is neither indication nor even the possibility of continental drift". The indications were there, of course, but the theoretical impossibility was all ...
