... Pleistocene interglacials) have the potential to bring the analysis down into late Pleistocene times or even the Holocene. Whatever explanation lay behind the warming of the polar latitudes in geologically recent times, continental drift no longer explains' the the tropics in the arctic. One of the basic criticisms made of Earth in Upheaval, which cited remains of palm trees in northern Greenland, is thus found to be invalid. Forests in Antarctica from the Eocene to the Pliocene During the 1980's, scientific papers began to appear, providing details on a select class of fossil discoveries in Antarctic latitudes about 50 MYA. The National Geographic map showed the Eocene paleolatitude of Antarctica as only a few hundred miles closer ...
... the story to confirm Scripture, the bases given for the conclusions are the best that are available. Hence it is with some astonishment to find that the conclusion is based on a correlation of a statement in the inscription to the effect that the land where Sinuhe dwelt was a "fine country where wheat, barley, vines, and fig trees grow" with the statement in Scripture that the land of promise was "a good land, a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees." (Footnote 13a: See ref. 13; Deut. 8:8 .) But we ask in all seriousness: what chronological significance is to be ...
183. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... hostile intent, the Jebusites pointed to Abraham's promise engraven upon them and still plainly to be read. (51) They maintained that before David could take the city, which they had surrounded with a high wall, he would have to destroy the monuments. Joab devised a plan of getting into Jerusalem. He set up a tall cypress tree near the wall, bent it downward, and standing on David's head, he grasped the very tip of the tree. When the tree rebounded, Joab sat high above the wall, and could jump down upon it. Once in the city, he destroyed the monuments, and possessed himself of Jerusalem. (52) For David ...
184. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... more, who on this occasion must have returned home safely, otherwise we would not have known his- or their- splendid picture reliefs at the Deir-el-Bahari temple. All in all, it was a considerable force. The Arrival at Punt "The next scene already represents the arrival in Punt. The village consists of beehive-shaped pile dwellings, trees shown include a kind of palm, and short-horned cattle are walking or lying on the ground between the trees. Among those there are date palms, which grow near the shore or beach."(HZ:23) Herzog explains that this cannot be at the sea coast, for date palms only grow inland and not near salt ...
185. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... men as in figure 7 below. The Maruts were sons of Rudra. Figure 8 is a diagram of the essentials of a composite illustration on a Harappan seal of about 4000 years ago. Rudra and the seven Maruts are obviously depicted. The crucial clue is that in the myth of the Shatapatha Brahmana, the Maruts lived in an Ashvattha tree, Ficus religiosa, the leaves of which are shown in the design. Another Sanskrit name for the tree is pippala. The leaves resemble most extraordinarily closely those of Black Poplar, Populus nigra, a northern tree. The equivalence both of the form of the leaves and of Sanskrit Pippala with Latin Populus indicates that the Pippala, Hindi ...
186. The Garden, the Fall, and the Restoration [Journals] [Kronos]
... are in position to view the paradise myths in a new light. The most familiar of the paradise myths is contained in the first two chapters of Genesis. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.... And the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it... ...
187. It's Still the Same Elephant [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and the elephant. Each blind man touched a different part of the elephant and came up with a different conception of the nature of the beast. Even more elementary than the different concepts- and something not directly addressed by the fable- is the matter of the blind men's different perceptions. The man rubbing the leg thought the elephant was like a tree because his rubbing gave him a sensation similar to the sensation he got from rubbing a tree. But it works the other way around, too: He perceived a tree-like sensation because he already had a concept of a tree. Centuries of philosophers have worried over the nature of perception. Thomas Kuhn, for example, noted the inextricable ...
188. Don't Rock The Ark [Journals] [Kronos]
... a vertical orientation in a diatomaceous earth quarry in Lompoc, Calif. However, the fact that the whale is standing on end as well as the fact that it is buried in diatomaceous earth would strongly suggest that it was buried under very unusual and rapid catastrophic conditions. The vertical orientation of the whale is also reminiscent of observations of vertical tree trunks extending through several successive coal seams. Such phenomena cannot easily be explained by uniformitarian theories, but fit readily into an historical framework based upon the recent and dynamic universal flood described in Genesis, chapters 6-9. Larry S. Helmick, Ph.D . Professor of Chemistry, Cedarville College, Ohio C&EN Letters March 21 ...

... cities. Abandoned cities like Tiahuanacu, and agricultural terraces, are now covered with perennial mountain snow. The deserts of Arabia, Sahara, and Gobi were covered by forests and pastures, and man's neolithic relics and rock drawings show how recently these wastes were richly watered and were inhabited. The remains of whales are found on mountains; fig trees and corals are found in polar regions, and signs of ice in Equatorial Africa. Widespread extinctions in America occurred "virtually within the last few thousand years."(2 ) I gave the history of the theory of catastrophism versus the theory of gradualism and evolution. The Agassiz theory of the ice ages was originally also a catastrophist ...
190. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... oracles and the Sibyl with genuine religious respect. The oracles, strictly so called, were always consulted through the official medium of the priests who had charge of them; but there were also less official sources of revelation; voices to be heard in caverns where subterranean springs gave forth mysterious sounds, or from the rush of the wind through trees; in such places the earliest " Sibyls " had their home, and could be consulted by any who chose to approach them : or rather, through them the people could seek counsel of Apollo, to whom their inspiration was always ascribed. The Sibylline tradition, then, took its origin from a side-stream of oracular inspiration. According ...
