... elephant (mammoth) utterly disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene. The examination of the world of fossils (incompletely summarized above in an over-simplified manner), coupled with biological studies, gave birth to different theories about the evolution of life. Without going into details, it may be Palaeontology (from the Greek words palaeos = ancient, ... of mutation' or evolution by sudden marked changes' in 1901. The theory of mutations did not consider adaptations to new environments' playing an appreciable role. Research by biologists, geneticists, and palaeontologists showed that mutations could not be the result of chance alone, and that adaptation to environment could not be neglected. Nor could natural selection ...
82. The Extended Habitation Zone [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... could exist on Earth-sized planets in synchronous rotation around red dwarf stars. Investigation of the global water cycle, availability of photosynthetically active radiation in red dwarf sunlight, and the biological implications of stellar flares, suggests that higher plant habitability of red dwarf planets may be possible. ...
83. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... theory, by their argument. Darwinism is consistent. They intimate that it has yet to be falsified by any of the discoveries of the last century of discovery. Molecular biology provides one "proof" of Darwinism in the persistence of histones and other compounds. They ask: "Why, then, are the museum and NATURE, both ... the public presentation of science, it is proper wherever appropriate to say that disputed matters are in doubt. But is the theory of evolution still an open question among serious biologists? And, if not, what purpose except general confusion can be served by those weasel words?" On 12/3 /81, p.82 there ...
84. Phillip E. Johnson, "Darwin on Trial" [Journals] [Aeon]
... had to have occurred and proceeded rapidly within a relatively brief geological period. A zoologist, Richard Dawkins, whose 1986 book The Blind Watchmaker is a clarion call for atheistic biology, also proclaimed an intolerance for intolerant "creationists," who at first blush seem to be everyone who refuses to believe in evolutionary science if not Dawkins himself. ... must be remembered that "sudden" in the geological or paleontological sense is quite relative and may mean hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.) However, evolutionary biologists in the main haven't subscribed to the GouldEldredge hypothesis, since distinctly separate contemporary species- as pandas and bears- may have strikingly similar characteristics, whereas singular species may ...
85. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , that I must comment on one of the letters - "Parthenogenesis and Plagues". I can understand Gordon S. Knowles' reaction in linking the two, but biologically it is a) unnecessary and b) just won't wash! Natural parthenogenesis in some insects is certainly responsible for the "plagues" of greenfly we suffer in summer ... own Mount Ararat. Elizabeth Gaudry, Eastbourne. Parthenogenesis: And a Plague on Gribbin!Dear Sir, Having just read the April Workshop , I feel, as a biologist, that I must comment on one of the letters - "Parthenogenesis and Plagues". I can understand Gordon S. Knowles' reaction in linking the two, ...
86. Morphic Fields and Resonances [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... two ways: (1 ) reductionism (2 ) holism. Reductionism is the doctrine that more complex phenomena can be reduced to less complex ones; for example, in biology, it is the belief that all the phenomena of life can ultimately be understood in terms of chemistry and physics. Holism is the doctrine that the whole is more ... . Hierachies of morphic fields affect cells, organs, organisms, etc. Research and funding today typically goes into genetics... Rupert thought that there was hardly a biologist left who could recognise a plant! Onto regeneration: bits of flatworm and willow trees can grow back into new forms. Likewise, magnetism and holograms have the property ...
87. Rupert Sheldrake: An overview [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... same plant would have the hormone in its leaves and stem, yet these parts of the plant were different in shape. Later Rupert became interested in other non-mainstream aspects of biology, such as ESP in animals, or how animals could predict earthquakes, or tell when their owners are coming home. ...
88. Introducing Anomalistics: A New Field of Interdisciplinary Study [Journals] [Kronos]
... An example of a deviation is the behavior of water, which is the only common substance known that expands rather than contracting when it solidifies. This chemical contrariety has crucial biological consequences. For, if water, like most other substances, were to contract as it solidified, bodies of surface water would freeze from the bottom up and, ... the first popularizer (or, as his detractors may prefer to phrase it, the first vulgarizer) of anomalistics. The first organizer of anomalistic field-work was the Scottish American biologist Ivan Sanderson, who founded The Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in Columbia, New Jersey. Among living anomalists, the one who probably comes closest to embodying ...
89. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... balances, and neutralizes charges to keep cosmic bodies in the state which we come to regard as "normal," that is, where time is lengthened and geological and biological processes, such as our very existence, can occur. Ralph Juergens has described the space-sheath system in connection with the encounters of the Earth and Mars [4 ] ... quantavolutionist and evolutionist come to terms? One reason is that they need not come to terms. A quantavolutionary can be just as good a geologist, historian, astronomer, biologist, or philosopher as an evolutionary. One will find fewer instructional materials, true, because practically all educational establishments are in the hands of evolutionists. But, if ...

... An example of a deviation is the behavior of water, which is the only common substance known that expands rather than contracts when it solidifies. This physicochemical peculiarity has crucial biological consequences.
