... importance to the progress of science. While we may be able from time to time to present to the world even vast accumulations of evidence gleaned from the fields of geology and especially mythology, we can do but little more than suggest to more able and scholarly minds than our own the work to be done in the fields of Philology and Biology. A new science of the origin and growth of language will have to be written. The Darwinian theory of evolution will be found insufficient and will have to be supplemented by the Annular Theory of organic evolution. Following this must come a new Ethnology and a modified Sociology. It is with the hope that we may gain the attention ...
622. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 11), claims that the Lord offers three choices, knowing that the aging king will be obliged to choose three days of pestilence at the hand of this swordbearing Angel; the plague kills 70,000 men (v . 15). This story suggests a plague-bearing fallout, where plague could signify a nuclear or chemical rather than a biological agent: something seems to have fallen from the heavens over a wide area of Israel. In addition, something of major significance happened at Ornan's threshing floor which led to the purchase of the site by David (II Sam. 24:24) and its subsequent use as the site of the first Temple (II Chron. 3 ...
623. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... family became pioneers in the establishment of Israel. The source-criticism of the Bible was mostly a German phenomenon and this, too, Velikovsky must have been aware of, and he was brought up with a Jewish reverence for it. After Darwin had gained acceptance, the scientific milieu showed the Bible to be false in its statements on geology, biology, astronomy and history - in fact virtually everything except religion, and that was soon to be shown to be derivative. This situation Velikovsky felt compelled to try to correct. There was also the linguistic theory of the Indo-European source of modern languages, at first called Indo-German. It was promulgated almost entirely by German scholars and intended to ...

... compared to modern magnolia and very little change was noted. Surprisingly Speedy Speciation source: National Geographic May 1990, p. 36 Lake Victoria in the African Rift Valley system contains several hundred species of unique fish. These must have evolved within the last 13,500 years since the lake nearly dried out. It was a surprise to many biologists that speciation could occur so quickly'. Pitfalls of Fossil Evidence source: New Scientist 26.5 .90, pp. 44-46 Genetic study of three jackal species in Africa shows that they diverged as species about 3 million years ago. This is in contrast to studies of their structure and behaviour, both of which would indicate a ...

626. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . At the beginning of the 19th century a scare was raised over the Leonid swarm, but when Biela's comet broke up, and apparently only into harmless dust, authority seized the chance to reassure the public that we live in a safe environment, free from extra-terrestrial catastrophe. This led to geological ideas of uniformity and eventually Darwin's ideas of biological evolution free from outside influences. This scientific enlightenment' led to the denial of meaning in biblical and celestial mythology. Now, however, after the space exploration era, things are changing. The observation that craters are formed on planets due to asteroid impacts has led to new ideas of catastrophism. Impacts by objects larger than 1 km ...

... of a butterfly shape and this was experimentally reproduced, showing that it could have been produced by an object approaching 115 degrees from the north and at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground, which exploded 6 to 8 km above the ground. It looked suspiciously as though the event was linked to the Taurid meteor stream. A Russian biologist had found many chromosomal anomalies in plants in the area after 90 years. These appeared to be far stronger than similar affects after chemical and radioactive disasters but no one has an explanation. A mini Tunguska-type event was recorded over southern Ecuador in December 1995, when a bolide exploded. Witnesses described a streaking meteor and a loud and brilliant ...
628. Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, by James E. Strickling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ', he argues not only that the lesser' light was Saturn but also, since there is no mention of the Moon, that this must have been captured by the Earth after the Genesis account was written. Comment is surely unnecessary. I am a life scientist, not a physicist, so I will close by looking at the biological implications of the model. We all know just how tenuous is our grip on life, yet Strickling asks us to believe that human beings have survived on Earth (although suffering a few catastrophes) through a series of remarkable events. First the Earth was in orbit around Saturn, a dark' body much as it is today. ...

... feathers appeared long before they were used for flight. There is even the behavioural evidence of nest building, with incubation of eggs and care of young. New evidence comes from a fossil bird with a sickle shaped killing claw like that of some dinosaurs, although it had long wings and probably flew well. On the other hand not all biologists are convinced: a few reckon that the detailed anatomy of the wing tip shows that birds and the theropod dinosaurs from which they are supposed to have evolved have lost different digits, which indicates that bird ancestry is much more ancient and as yet undiscovered.

630. The Newark Holy Stones [Journals] [Horus]
... Mongolia. Rites such as prevailed in Phoenicia in the Old Testament times were widely practiced in the North American continent. The more closely the relics of the lost race were examined, the more clear becomes the evidence that their worship combined elements of the Druids, the Hittites and the Phoenicians. Dr. Robert W. Alrutz is Professor of Biology, specializing in ecology, at Denison University, Ohio. A long-time resident of Granville, near Newark, Dr. Alrun's study of the Newark Holy Stones and their history adds a fascinating chapter to the argument for diffusion among ancient cultures. He has published a detailed monograph on the subject,"The Newark Holy Stones: The History ...
