... 9 ]. Scholars began to doubt the notion that the universe had been created once and forever. They started to investigate ancient chronology, and laid down the foundations of geology and paleontology. In the age of Reformation some religious apologists argued that a distinction must be made between the creation of the universe as a whole and the creation of ... akin to the biblical story of Creation, that the solar system has remained unchanged since it was created eons ago, and their assumption has of necessity determined the views of geologists and historical biologists. This dogma, being basically of theological and not scientific nature, is grounded itself on fear, as Galileo and Laplace have pointed out. The ...
452. Of the Moon and Mars, Part 2 [Journals] [Pensee]
... one of the most youthful of lunar features; indeed, Shoemaker et al. (66) consider it even younger than Aristarchus, but this solely on the basis of geologic considerations that may not apply to a Moon involved in near-collisions only a few thousand years ago. In any case, as Hartmann and Yale stress (67), ... . L. J. Kosofsky and F. El-Baz comment (The Moon As Viewed by Lunar Orbiter [Washington: NASA, 19701 p. 83): "Some geologists consider the symmetrical rings or shells surrounding the large mounds [in the floor of Tycho] to be due to the flowage of shock-melted rock off the surface of the ...
453. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a recent eruption besides, and for more recent disturbances. The list of legendary arguments is to be presented at the end of the chapter, in the light of further geological evidence. THE GLOBAL FRACTURE SYSTEM (See Figures 19 and 20) Heezen and Hollister, in their late work in oceanography, begin by quoting a passage from the ... when aberrant bodies in space are taken more seriously- and even the possibility of terrestrial rocks and water being splashed upon the Moon by a cometary impact has been posited by geologist Harold Urey [7 ]- the first mechanism to look for is a space intruder. The stripped-down area is today occupied in part by the land that pushed into ...
... in his honour. Dolomieu served under Napoleon during the French invasion of Egypt. He was later imprisoned in Napoli for several years. There he wrote his classic work on geology without having either pen or pencil, or paper upon which to write. The only object he was permitted to have was the Bible, and so he used the ... very nature of their disciplines, have suddenly found a common ground. They have started to communicate with one another: physicist to historian, historian to biologist, biologist to geologist, geologist to astronomer, and so on. They have found a common subject, a common theme, they have found a way to realize the purpose and idea ...

... Cults of the virgin and eunuchs.)[8 ] She sent great tsunamis over the coastal land, tipped over lakes like mere bowls of soup. She is "geologically quite young and was seismically active until recently..."[9 ] and its surface may be burning. G.Talbott (1978) has proven " ... Plato's account of Atlantic making out 900 years instead of 9000 years before Solon for the Thira disaster [53]. Mairnatos followed suit. So did all the archeologists and geologists who pursued the popular study of Thira as the true Atlantis. But they and Velikovsky were using a different absolute age for the date -1500 Radiocarbon dating gave a variety ...

457. The Electric Universe [Journals] [SIS Review]
... made by planetary geologists: Complex impact craters, craters with such features as a flat floor, a central peak, and wall terraces, have never been created in common geologic materials in the lab or with large explosions' [38]. In plain words, planetary geologists have been working for most of the 20th century using an impact ... I shall show that the majority of craters in the solar system are created by the thunderbolts of the gods'. In 1998 the following damning admission was made by planetary geologists: Complex impact craters, craters with such features as a flat floor, a central peak, and wall terraces, have never been created in common geologic materials in ...
458. On Method [Books] [de Grazia books]
... as part of the Piltdown assembly. Morris wrote letters accusing Dawson, the discoverer and a likely culprit, of fraud. To no avail. In 1926 Edmonds published a geological map of the area of Pilt-down, which placed the gravels of the discovery site in the upper Pleistocene of fifty thousand years ago, one-tenth of the age assigned to ... the tribes of Borneo, not to mention those of the Bible. Conversely, should archaeologists or mythologist have the temerity to ask astronomers whether the Moon could be young or geologists whether a great land might be inundated, they can be fairly sure of a negative answer. We stress that on many facts and principles of cosmogony one has to ...

... been re-arranged by the movement of ice. These in particular put a huge exclamation point the long, narrow channels, whose formation COULDN'T be due to ice movement or any geological process "deep within the planet," as the planetary geologists had claimed. Where melting has occurred and sheets of ice have been randomly shifted about, you can ... get a very dramatic picture as to how irregular the spacing is between the broken fragments under such conditions- literally nothing like the thousands of narrow channels running side by side, some up to hundreds of kilometers- which geologists had tried to explain by fracturing and subtle movements of the ice. And notice that in the fields of formerly melted ice, ...
460. Late Pleistocene Extinctions: No Evidence for Plato's Atlantis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the Inca empire of South America. In Quechua cati means "that way" - in other words, towards the American continents." Kukal, of the Central Geological Survey, Prague, has adopted a much more careful approach. In the preface to Atlantis in the Light of Modern Research he writes: "I have never worked ... there was no Atlantis 11,500 years ago and if there was no Atlantis there was no destruction of Atlantis either. No trace has been found by anybody, including geologists and archaeologists, on either islands or the sea floor." Who is right? Berlitz's style is rambling and anecdotal. Much of what he says is intriguing, ...
