... , "these small coccoid bodies are covered with all this incredible fibrous structure." The filaments appear to be about 30 to 40 nanometers wide (that's about 1/10th a wavelength of visible light). "It's difficult for me to say what it is," Abyzov said, "but I tend to agree that this is biological," possibly a fungus. "There are all sorts of microorganisms in the ice. Some are readily recognizable as cyanobacteria, bacteria, fungi, spores, pollen grains, and diatoms, but some are not recognizable as anything we've ever seen before," Hoover said. Many will turn out to be known. It's just that ...
442. The Repeopling of the Earth [Books]
... which was safe against flood and fire-rain. The mother of the girls and their husbands too perished in the cataclysm. The urge to propagate the race, to be fruitful and multiply', as the Book of Genesis so consistently stresses, was very powerful in those survivors and this urge breaks down all seeming barriers. In times of stress biological considerations go before social ones. The part of the myth which is of interest to us here runs as follows ' (Genesis xlx- 30) And Lot . . . dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. (31) And the first born said unto the younger .. . there is not a man ...
443. Fingerprints of The Gods [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to my earlier queries re. Graham Hancock's book Fingerprints of the Gods (F .O .G .) . I am a layman with respect to the areas of science that are directly concerned with the subject matter of the F.O .G . However, I am a trained scientist with a Ph.D . in environmental biology and an M.Sc. in plant pathology. My other interests include micro-computers, jazz guitar music, science fiction, and detective mysteries, the most recent being the O.J . Simpson case viewed as a murder mystery. My interest in F.O .G . is, perhaps, that it relates to the mother ...
444. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... " of catastrophists will receive much laudatory acknowledgement as the new breed of geologist is capable of dreaming up revolutionary new (sic) theories all by himself. It is now happily accepted that events on Earth have been influenced by "impacts of asteroids and meteorites and various galactic, orbital and solar events". It was basically agreed that world biology could be affected by ETs (extraterrestrial objects), and Gene Shoemaker (US Geological Survey) calculated the probabilities of collisions with ETs of varying sizes. The work of Alvarez et al . on the Cretaceous boundary iridium anomaly is still regarded as "convincing evidence" for one such collision. Supernovae were dismissed as "too rare" ...
445. The Saturn Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... model for genetic mutation or embryonic differentiation. Even today, well over a hundred years later, many of the most fundamental questions surrounding the biochemical mechanisms of evolution remain unanswered. We still have little understanding of how the various phyla originated, or why some species proved successful while others became extinct. In the meantime, however, while modern biology awaits a solution to these perplexing and formidable mysteries, no informed scientist can doubt the historical reality that biological evolution has occurred. The question is how did life evolve and by what precise means? A similar situation surrounds the Saturn theory, in my opinion. Here, too, the historical evidence is unequivocal that various planets once participated ...
446. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... abrupt sea-level drops, when water is transferred from the oceans to continental ice at high latitudes;... The cooling that causes the sea level drop could be induced by extraterrestrial impacts, volcanic eruptions or anything else that suddenly alters the global energy balance. ' Their theory includes the association of geomagnetic reversals with microtektite layers, craters, biological extinctions and short periods of cold climate. The asteroid impact theory of Muller and Morris is also referred to in Kenneth A. Hoffman's article Ancient Magnetic Reversals: Clues to the Geodynamo', Scientific American May 1988, pp. 76-83. Hoffman prefers theories which do not involve extraterrestrial intervention - but notably makes no attempt to debunk the ...
447. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Travellers. The main core of the book (160 pages) includes 13 title pages, 4 blank pages and 15 full-page monochrome photographs. Again, there are photographs of astronomical features (the nebula in Orion is depicted in The Origin of Life, Lifecloud and Space Travellers), but in this book the majority of the photographs are of biological subjects. Despite his orthodox approach, Professor Folsome is not afraid to give an opinion on the relative merits of various theories or to suggest ones of his own, but he makes clear what is fact and what is speculation. His discussion of the origin of the Earth is much briefer than that given in Lifecloud, presumably because he ...
448. Radioactive Fossil Bones (Comments) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... such an event actually did, or could not have, eliminated the dinosaurs and so many other organisms 65 million years ago. Although we are far from knowing precisely why the dinosaurs vanished, we do know much more about what did - and what did not - happen during the time of extinction. I would like to assert that no biologist, if he could have observed the final 10 million years of dinosaurian development, would have predicted their eminent extinction. During this time large reptiles continued to live around the globe and from the Antarctic circle to north of the Arctic circle. There is evidence in Europe, Asia and North America, where sequences of dinosaur faunas are known ...
449. Velikovsky And Cultural Amnesia [Journals] [Pensee]
... of Shakespeare's inspiration in manipulating these themes were unclear. At one level it is arguable that acquaintance with ancient authors (such as Ovid) who showed marked predilection for catastrophic myths would be sufficient stimulus to the imagination of the Elizabethan poet; on another it is just possible to think of such stimulus as activating unconscious memory of the events transmitted biologically. 4) J. MacGregor (departments of art and psychiatry, Ontario College of Art). "Catastrophic Themes and Psychotic Delusions." As the one clinically trained psychiatrist besides Velikovsky participating in the symposium, MacGregor had a certain obligation to face head-on the origins of Velikovsky's work in Freudian psychoanalytic thinking. This challenge he accepted with ...
450. The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory [Books]
... beautiful. Hesiod, reciting this profound truth, goes on to describe how the muses work, reminding us of a combined team for domestic propaganda and psychological warfare. As a result, all the arts and sciences have been manipulated by the muses. What we know of the catastrophes must come from a "natural history" - geology, biology, physics and astronomy-and a politics, philosophy, and theology that have been censored by the muses. Additionally, we must obtain our historical material from myth, song, dances, and drama that were similarly screened. It is well to insist upon this premise, whether we come to the problem from an acquaintanceship with the ...
