... merits of a cometary hypothesis to account for the mass extinction of many life forms at the end of the Cretaceous period, there are striking relationships to be found in the geological record between mass extinction phases and changes in sea-level. What price now the Lyell and Darwin orthodoxies of 1950? Just as Velikovsky predicted, his astral catastrophism has entered ... Sheldrake's metaphorical television set? See "Focus", this issue. Evolutionary Problems source: Scientific American "Continental Drift and the Fossil Record" - A. Hallam Recent geologists have painted their own picture of events without due attention to the fossil record, which - Hallam bravely points out - does not always corroborate their story but can pose ...
552. The Israelite Exodus and the Volcanic Eruption of Thera [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Minoan sites on the island of Crete were destroyed. Excavations at Akrotiri, the site of the Minoan town on Thera, however, as well as scientific study of the geological evidence on the island have indicated that the volcano exploded at the end of the Late Minoan IA period, c. 1500 B.C . And a two-stage eruption ... away- was only about 20-30 feet. [23] A wave 30 feet high when it hit Crete would have become almost imperceptible by the time it reached Egypt. Geologists now believe that the central portions of Thera collapsed into the sea bit by bit over a period of time. [24] This is the normal situation for eruptions ...

... itself up, or perhaps explode in great heat, is repelled by a like charge of the upper atmosphere and skips off into outer space. Vast stretches of astronomical and geological time are not required by the delicacy of organized matter. Only small amounts of time may be needed in which to accumulate and dissipate great heat and pressures. From ... view of the universe." Changing celestial behavior excites great forces to work upon Earth. After assembling the evidence for the quantavolution of life forms, the Russian paleontologist and geologist, L. J. Salop concludes: "The Earth, together with the life it supports, is not a closed self-developing system but constitutes an integral part of ...

... universal chaos and ruin which some of the plants, animals, and men survived was deemed impossible as no causer of such a world-wide cataclysm could apparently be shown up in geology the catastrophistic world-picture of Cuvierism had been supplanted by the quietistic world-picture of Lyellism. Biologists objected to the statement that there was life before the creation' of the sun ... these were mostly only regarded as parallel versions of the Babylonian myth, preserved in the great Gilgamesh epic (Note 2). Even scientists of note, like the Austrian geologist, Suess, could not liberate themselves from this view. This leads us on to the second problem. On closer investigation it was established apparently without doubt, that ...
555. Ice Cores and Common Sense Part 1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... giant planet was several times closer to the Sun, that implies a very different Earth-Sun distance, and a drastically different climate. Velikovsky saw this as no problem: The geological record documents extreme climates for the past of the Earth- times when corals grew in the Arctic, and times when the Earth, partly even on the equator, ... thousand years ago, probably closer to the second figure.[36] If the Atlantic Ocean is only 4500 years old- not some 200 million years, as the geologists would have it- one might ask what marine sediments from the Jurassic (which came to a close about 135 million years ago) are doing on the sea floor ...

... ionosphere as strong as the field we will have lost. If a planet can have a field induced by the Sun, why cannot closely approaching objects also interact magnetically? GEOLOGY Canyons of the Sea (National Geographic, June 2004, p. 45) The Monterey Canyon, off the coast of California, can be compared to the Grand ... the major extinction events had nothing to do with meteorite impacts or volcanic activity. To add a bit of variety to the current obsession with extinction catastrophes, one team of geologists is suggesting that from time to time Earth actually explodes internally. Gases building up from a rising plume of molten magma could eventually create so much pressure that it finally ...
557. Buried Forests [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this is the kind of evidence that critics have presented to discredit Velikovsky. Notes 162. John Shaw, "Drumlins, Sub-glacial Melt Water Floods and Ocean Responses," Geology, Vol. 17, (September 1989), pp. 853-856. 163.

558. Graham Hanock: Adjudication [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... that the erosion of the Sphinx could be accounted for within conventional dating. Professor Schoch had vigorously contested Mr Hancock's proposed dating of 10,500 BCE, adding that the geological argument gave no support to Mr Hancock's theory that the Sphinx builders had been influenced by an earlier unknown civilisation. To have used a contribution on this point from Professor ... civilisation. Any discussion of Mr Hancock's position on earth crust displacement would have done him no kindness. The programme-makers were aware that Mr Hancock had cited the work of the geologist Dr Joseph Kirshvink to support his contention that there may have been a cataclysmic shift in the earth's crust around 10,500 BCE, a date which fitted Mr Hancock's ...
... the cave-dwellers in Southern and South-Western France, Spain and elsewhere has been nullified through the false theories of the Ice Age which has led archaeologists dancing to the strains of a geological Pied Piper, and has frozen up unbiased investigation into the problem which really confronts us. What, then, is the explanation of these various tribes or sections of ... justly entitled to draw from the vestiges of these various peoples I have named? In periods of time most astonishing claims to antiquity have been advanced by some astronomers, by geologists, and archaeologists. Dr. Sturge, for example, has contended that the later Neolithic Period -not even the Palaeolithic-lasted for from 200,000 to 300,000 ...

... gravitational constant over time. As gravitational attraction declines, matter expands. The application of Dirac's theory to Earth expansion would logically follow, but Jordan is unable to provide convincing geological evidence, even when presented with a long Earth history. R.H . Dicke and C.H . Brans also predicted a slow drop in the force of ... a larger figure. Some of man's early obsession with geometrical measurements of Earth and sky were motivated by perceptions of terrific effects and of changes still then occurring or feared. Geologists prefer to think of lands sinking in one place while rising in another. I doubt that ancient man would argue the point. The geologist may call the total process ...
