... an explanation of the rapid evolution from Australopithecus to Homo erectus to the Neanderthal Man. He suggested that "a careful reexamination of the fossil evidence in concert with a revised geological chronology" would show that "some postulated ancestors were probably neighbors." "Taking a non-uniformitarian approach to hominid evolution," Fleising asked, "is it not ... that the evolving drama consists of synchronic rather than diachronic events?" Some geologists were also being nudged toward catastrophism. Based on his field investigation, Johan B. Kloosterman (32) concluded that the Amazonian volcanoes of Brazil were actually giant caldera-volcanoes; on the same day that Nature received his report it was returned to him. As a ...
... too gradual to suit his own taste, just as it had been too catastrophic for uniformitarian geologists. (20) Ironically, in the 1960s Velikovsky's dramatic vision of sudden geological change may have served as a partial stimulus for his friend, Harry H. Hess, to revive and modify the Wegenerian scenario by suggesting plate tectonics (not Velikovsky's ... apart over time, forming the present geographic distribution. Wegener's ideas of "catastro-phism in slow motion" enjoyed great favor for a time, but from the mid-1920s more conventional geologists were able to demonstrate quantitatively that the dynamic forces that Wegener proposed were too weak to produce the effects he hypothesized, and the theory went into a sharp decline as ...

... think that such events are not only possible in theory, but actually occurred at a critical turning point in Earth's history," says Paul Hoffman, Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology. A detailed report of the theory and evidence that supports it appears in Friday's issue of the journal Science. ...

... and lead) have been reputed to fall. Such events are unknown to modern experience but are indicated by ancient legends from many places, (27) and by various geological and biological phenomena.(28) We cannot ignore the Biblical sources that speak of "fire and brimstone (sulphur)" such as that which wiped out " ... 1/5 to 1 1/5 inches thick, which extends through the whole hill at a depth of from 28 to 291/2 feet." Several visiting geologists and a construction engineer gave this opinion, and all concluded that large deposits of these existed at the time of the city's destruction. Schliemann continues: "That Troy ...

... grades, balances, and neutralizes charges to keep cosmic bodies in the state which we come to regard as "normal," that is, where time is lengthened and geological and biological processes, such as our very existence, can occur. Ralph Juergens has described the space-sheath system in connection with the encounters of the Earth and Mars [ ... be more important to history and more thoroughly destructive, but small and medium-sized meteoroid impact explosions, such as the Ishim, Tunguska, and Phaeton, are heavily damaging. Geologists Kelly and Dachille have calculated the effects of an explosion of a 200-mile diameter "Intruder", somewhat smaller than one which they believed fell at "Bermuda" within ...

Hopkins, "On the Elevation and Denudation of the Lakes of Cumberland and Westmoreland," Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, Vol. 4 (1848), pp. 70-98. 142. J. D. Dana, Manual of Geology (New York, 1880 ... He also stated: "The question is one of mechanics, to be dealt with by mechanical arguments, and it seems to me to be the height of rashness for geologists who are quite guiltless of any training or knowledge as physicists to appeal to transcendental causes, whose potency they have not tested, and which are treated as contrary to ...

Catastrophist Geology Han Kloosterman has announced the first issue of his new journal, which will appear with the following contents: "Catastrophist Geology" / Johan B. Kloosterman (= ... through the dam and causes widespread devastation in the areas concerned. I am reminded of the so-called "scablands" in the eastern part of the State of Washington, where geologists generally now accept a catastrophic theory involving huge areas. There, as the ice melted at the end of the Ice Ages, an ice block plugged a mountain pass ...

... (1997) Home | Issue Contents The Age Of Man In America Charles Ginenthal "The disturbing reality is that for none of the thousands of well documented extinctions in the geologic past do we have a solid explanation of why the extinction occurred. We have many proposals in specific cases, of course: trilobites died out because of competition from ... , John Frere had shown in 1797 that man was contemporary with large extinct animals when he found in Sussex worked flint weapons mixed with their bones. In 1823 the French geologist, Ami Boue, sent Cuvier a human skeleton excavated from ancient deposits which also contained the remains of extinct animals. Cuvier hushed up the awkward discovery. Similar discoveries ...

... me to compare them. The more I read the more I became puzzled because it seemed to me that whichever way you looked it was just so: it wasn't just geology and ancient history that were affected - his theories seemed to affect everything. Astronomy, yes, that was affected. I discovered physics, chemistry, even sociology were ... were all trying to do the same thing. Also in 1975 there was apparently the centenary of Lyell's discovery of uniformity. A celebration was held in London and a Dutch geologist called Johann Kloosterman went there with a whole batch of leaflets knocking the bottom out of geology theory, showing that what Lyell had intended didn't square with the evidence he ...

... was stable on the surface. As you know, that is the one requirement for life," he said. Both findings imply that early Mars was hotter and more geologically active than previously thought. The presence of a distinct core- probably of iron, like the Earth's- was deduced from subtle changes in the planet's spin picked up by shifting ... a result, a compass carried about on Mars would not point consistently in one direction, but swing completely around as one traveled across a patch, Connerney said. If geologists can piece together this patchwork, they should be able to reconstruct the geological history of Mars back to a time when the parched, airless planet was a lot more ...
