... , and others in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Whiston, in fact, originally had proposed gravitational effects of comets to explain the Flood, parting of the Red Sea, etc., with the whole-hearted support of Sir Isaac Newton himself. When it was shown that gravity was insufficient, he turned to electrical and magnetic forces ... of maintaining the integrity of such charged material, Velikovsky's cosmic lightning would be stupendous indeed. Need I point out the obvious difficulties of life on the surface of such a planet, or during such a charge transfer? Furthermore, distribution of the charge throughout the planet may reduce the local fractional ionization, but would greatly increase the problem of ...
632. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... - they can exchange energy, entropy and material with their environment, and are not static structures. He cites: living organisms, convection cells, cyclones, Jupiter's great Red Spot, etc. Such systems are dissipative, but the dissipation "flushes out disturbances and endows [them] with robustness and stability." But the crucial feature ... ". He notes that most people believe that the Universe increases in complexity with time, from the initial "big bang" to the swirling masses of gases, to planets, to the primitive soup of organic molecules, to life, and to higher forms of life on Earth. And this is in contradistinction to the dictat of the ...
... . This displacement went on till at last the crustal apex and the satellite also parted company, with that hard wrench which caused the great East African rift valleys and the Red Sea trough to come into existence. By that time the crustal apex had been carried about 20o east of the core apex, and, as we have seen, ... crust along and so accelerated the Earth's rotation. Finally, however, a stage was reached where the satellite was no longer strong enough to conquer the rotational inertia of our planet. The anchor chains became strained; the core apex was, though probably very slightly, displaced toward the east; or, in other words, the satellite tried ...
634. The Great Flood -- the Myth in Genesis [Books]
... , Kataushis, and Pamaris, are even more explicit: they tell that in the olden times the Moon changed its colour (evidently from white') to yellow, red, and blue. (Note 64), whereupon it became dark and cold, and torrential rain descended. The seven clouds' of torrential rain which inundated the ... off and attain stability at their new and natural level we have no means to decide, nor can we tell how long the cosmic cascades of rain poured down on our planet. The later were probably still descending when the waters of the former had-already long stopped oscillating between the equator and the poles, and had settled down as the oceans ...
635. The Creation of the Earth -- the Third Account [Books]
... only men but also animals out of clay. The Melanesian inhabitants of Mota, one of the Banks Islands, tell that the creator-hero, Qat, moulded animals out of red clay. (7 ) And the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. .. ... As we have seen, this was not so fanciful an idea as has been supposed hitherto, as the material of the disintegrating satellite did add to the mass of our Planet, and the end of its gravitational influence over hydrosphere and lithosphere did cause profound changes on the terrestrial surface, thus bringing into existence a new Earth'. The ...

... of a separate piece, a stylized native topknot hairdo, on the heads of many of the figures. These were carved and transported from another quarry that supplied the rich red stone used exclusively for this part of the statues. The largest of these weighed 10 tons and had been raised 32 feet to top a 50 ton statue. A ... rationalizes their source, these common myths and legends of natural catastrophe show clearly that fear of calamity from the skies lies at the core of ancient myth ico-religious thought. The planets and stars themselves were gods; their paths and the cycles of time marked off by their orbits were the sacred knowledge of priests and shamans. Temples and monuments were ...

... , entering the ionosphere, would be dissociated and in this state, when highly electrically excited, they give out a green glow but where less excited they give out a red glow, the two colours which are mythologically inextricably bound to the polar configuration. Zysman pointed out that a crescent shape is only achieved when light falls upon a sphere ... wondering how he had managed to bring such a suspicious looking object through Customs. There must be many catastrophists who have been unable to accept the most unorthodox relationships of the planets proposed to explain the polar configuration deduced by Talbott from world mythology. For those who have not discarded the mythology, Zysman's theory that the polar configuration was a mirage ...

... : Science 202 (27.10.78), pp. 427-429 The eastern end of the Mediterranean basin is a tectonically active region due to the opening of the Red Sea and the development of shear lines between several crustal subplates which are gradually carrying the African section northwards into Europe. As pressure builds up between the subplates, from ... what Velikovsky had been fighting. The conversation then ranged from ice ages and sudden climate changes, through the latest orthodox' theories of chaos and catastrophe, to comets becoming planets, Venus orbits and areas of petrified trees in the North African desert and North Island, New Zealand. All these subjects were pertinent to the spirit in which SIS ...

... , but, in my opinion, a good presentation is pretty much as important as good ideas- and good articles, too, of course. Plus a nice shiny red cover. Glad to finally be a subscriber. One of these days, soon, I'll scrape the cash together for all the back issues too. Saturn's Cloud Cover ... also proposed. [4 ] However, while the last word on the subject is not yet in, the message contained in the mytho-historical record implies that it was the planet Saturn itself, rather than Earth, which was enshrouded in a diffuse envelope. This is something which I indicated in the paper in question where excerpts from ancient testimony ...
