... because of freezing at lower altitudes. It is suggested that it arrives via interplanetary meteoroids. On Mars, recent data from the Pathfinder mission surprised scientists by showing the planet's geology to be similar to Earth's. Rock appeared to be similar to andesite which, on Earth, is deemed to get its composition via plate tectonic processes and liquid water ... rate of sedimentation, nor even becoming eventually silted up. In the course of the Horizon program on the death of the dinosaurs via an impact at Chichxub, a Mexican geologist pointed to a thick bed of sediment and suggested it might have been laid down during a single tidal wave. With the increasing numbers of examples like these how is ...

... have spent some two weeks on Oedipus and Akhnaton'; this could be made to a small book." (4 ) In October, a Princeton graduate student in geology invited Velikovsky to lecture. Velikovsky agreed to do so on condition that his audience read Earth in Upheaval beforehand. So, on November 30, he spoke on " ... , drawing the hydrosphere into polar latitudes and creating river-like valleys on the continental slopes. In the face of severe criticism (for instance, Waldemar Keampffert's comparison of the two geologists to Jules Vernes and H. G. Wells in the April 12, 1936 New York Times), and after consulting with astronomers, Hess had quietly let the ...

... sentence Wilson just rescues objectivity from the brink of oblivion. He then proceeds to elaborate on several pieces of evidence from Earth in Upheaval which clearly impressed him as evidence for geological catastrophe: the dying of the dinosaurs, the riddle of the frozen mammoths. Velikovsky is also given the credit for "genuine scientific inspiration" regarding evolution by sudden ... another meteorite theory. Klaus Schultz of the McDonnell Centre for Space Sciences at Washington University St Louis, John Klasner a geophysicist at Western Illinois University, and William Cannon a geologist with the US Geological Surrey have been studying a "gravity map" of North America. This they have interpreted as showing evidence of a huge meteorite impact in Canada ...

... will also happen to other liquids, including oil! To suggest on the one hand that porous rock formations will allow oil to seep upward but not downward is not valid geology. And if Bauer thinks that this will not, nor cannot occur, then I suggest he read about artesian formations and the movement of liquids in them from a ... not touched by the sordid taint of misrepresentation and ad hominem arguments found in the many earlier critics of Velikovsky and his theories. According to C. Warren Hunt, a geologist, "The best comprehensive analysis of the [Velikovsky] Affair' is the book of Henry H. Bauer, Beyond Velikovsky." (3 ) Ev Cochrane ...

... His Earthly Vicars. The presently dominant ideology, Humanistic Evolutionism, knows no abrupt changes in the natural order, no interplanetary cataclysms, only slow evolution over huge aeons of geological time, brought about by processes still proceeding uniformly as they did millions of years ago. Nature makes no leaps. The Bible stories are obviously but primitive myths, ... of, and irrelevant to. the time they were last intensely heated, the entire technique of radiometric dating is at best highly dubious. for all its present veneration by geologists, palaeontologists and archaeologists.

A continuing exchange on radioactivity in fossil bones, with particular reference to the extinction of the dinosaurs, provides useful material by various geologists (some of whom unfortunately exhibit stereotyped and conditioned thinking); and this is supplemented by an assorted list of further literature by the editor.

... , but it also applies to the Himalayan Yeti and other mythical' beasts. Could the stones have been cosmic missiles during catastrophic meteor showers? In his chapter about the geological evidence, he makes a strong case for many legends being eye-witness accounts of local catastrophic events, often giving the lie to the usually accepted millions of years ago' ... a relatively recent event. Tales which relate darkness and massive ash falls may be about local volcanic action but they could also be remembering a cosmic event. The author considers geologist Derek Ager's rather subversive writings about the problems in his own discipline and concludes that the immensely wide distribution of limestones, gravels and other strata suggest a blanketing of the ...
