... much of Asia had fled to a rival ideology and become Communist; the Korean War was approaching in Asia and at home, America felt that it had become infested with Red spies. Certainly, these political events were disquieting, but Russia could be countered by nuclear deterrents, early-warning systems, protective political alliances, negotiation and subversion, and ... Darwin, who, carried away by the beauty of it all, concludes with the smug observation "There is grandeur in this view of life . . . whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity. (32) There you have it all, the entire Victorian fairy tale- the planet cycles regularly forever ...
... Donati's comet of 1848 was the most splendid comet of the century. It had a head like a serpent, its body near the nucleus twisted and turned like a gigantic red serpent, and its tail, flashing like golden scales, spread over forty million miles. It has never returned. The comet of 1889 displayed some strange methods after ... a parabolic orbit is a geometrical impossibility. He points out that a cometary body could not pursue a parabola for an instant, because, attracted by Jupiter or some other planet, its speed must be increased or decreased, which is impossible as a parabolic body cannot vary its rate of movement or it ceases to be a parabola. Yet ...
283. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... 6,000 or even 5,000 years." (22) Three hundred years earlier, Edmund Halley had suggested making longitudinal studies of the saline buildup of the Red Sea in order to measure the accretion rate and thus determine the age of our planet- this procedure, he was sure, would demonstrate the falsity of James Usher's ... bc date of Creation, derived by computing the lifespans of Adam and his descendants. Velikovsky, of course, sought to demonstrate the essential correctness of the Old Testament as a historical record, hoping that a recent creation of the Dead Sea would help him in his task. He did not, however, wish to associate the age of ...
284. Venus In The Folklore Of The Indians, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... in the heavens. . . . The old people told us that the Morning Star said that when the time came for the world to end, the Moon would turn red . . . that when the Moon should turn red, the people would know that the world was coming to an end. "The Morning Star said further that ... will again fall to the earth." In this narrative of the Pawnee Indians, elements are brought together which, as we know now, actually belong together. The planet Venus established the present order on the earth and placed the north and south polar stars in their places. The Pawnee believe that the future destruction of the world depends ...
285. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... , as he does throughout his paper. Sagan (p . 20): ". . . at the moment that Moses strikes his staff upon the rock, the Red Sea parts . . . . Then, when the Hebrews have successfully crossed, the comet has evidently passed sufficiently further on for the parted waters to flow back and ... ancient sources for data, to those who so blithely dismiss the details of myths and present their own interpretations- interpretations which reflect a verbal' reality unrelated to events on our planet" (" Myth and the Origin of Religion," Pensée IX, Fall, 1974, p. 50- emphasis added). Deloria's last statement is especially applicable ...
286. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... "El Ab Adam," which translates as "El Father of Adam." The second item concerns the name Adam itself, which derives from a root meaning "red" or "ruddy." [58] Without wishing to go into any detail here, since space does not permit, it is deities personifying the planet Mars ... demonstrated that evolution is far too slow to keep up with vast changes within a short timeframe. The Amazon rain forest alone contains over 60 percent of the biota of this planet and 80 percent of the genetic diversity. Ecosystems of half that complexity require millions of years of evolution. You can't get a continent-wide spread of millions of different photosynthesizing ...
287. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... top inversion, a reversed rotation is much less plausible on dynamical grounds and no physical evidence exists for Earth's rotation ever having stopped. Furthermore, Senmut's ceiling is probably a red herring in these discussions and therefore irrelevant to cosmic catastrophism. Velikovsky accepted Pogo's 1930 opinion that the ceiling is a map of the sky. However, by 1932 Pogo ... concern resonances, I would also like to comment briefly on ejections, inversions, and the mytho-historical record. Regarding ejections, Cardona proposes that "the possible ejection of the planet Venus from Saturn must have cropped up among Velikovskian scholars prior to the publication of [his] Child of Saturn' ". Nevertheless, while this may be true ...
288. Computed Planetary Orbits and the Babylonian Observations of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... causing a stream of positively charged material to be ejected from the core, continuing outwards until it emerged at the surface and leaving the planet-sized scar now known as the Great Red Spot. From then on the process was studied in detail by computer, enabling values of the product of charge on the ejected material and on the Sun to be ... W Crew The Babylonian inscribed tablets, sometimes described as the Ammizaduga or Ninsianna tablets, as those found in the ruins of Nineveh, record the disappearances and re-appearances of the planet Venus over a period of about 21 years. Computer programs were compiled to show the orbits of Earth and Venus in a simplified co-planar model. The times of inferior ...

... relationship between structure and function of this protein to be investigated in detail. Most of these mutations are harmful, to a greater or lesser extent, causing accelerated breakdown of red blood cells and poorer transport of oxygen about the body; the best known example is Sickle Cell Disease. However, a side-effect can actually be beneficial, the increased ... bacteria from comets in many star systems to accumulate in interstellar space, and to be picked up by comets travelling through other star systems, possibly to be deposited on a planet capable of supporting life. The size of bacteria is consistent with the size of particles in interstellar gas clouds, and they are small enough to avoid incineration on entering ...
290. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... eruptions (within the past 10 Myrs) show it is still hot and active. There has even been a double-take on how the iron oxide, which colours the surface red, got there; it used to be thought that it was the result of chemical reactions in warm pools of water in the planet's youth, but it now appears ... the expansion of the universe is not speeding up and that the hypothesised dark energy', needed to explain certain problems, is actually a huge cosmic mirage. ' Rapid Planet Formation (Volkskrant, 30.11.02) According to computer simulations a giant planet, like Jupiter, can be formed within a few hundred years, although ...
