The comments in this chapter are not intended to settle the issue; they demonstrate, however, that there is geologic evidence which can be interpreted in terms of catastrophism, and that some reputable workers actually interpret the data in this manner. It should be remembered that Velikovsky does not claim that the earth lived in peaceful co-existence with ... explained by invoking plate tectonics. (In our conversation and in his book, Sullivan also claimed that there was absolutely nothing unusual about the demise of any mammoth. Although catastrophists as well as uniformitarians entertain certain common misconceptions about the mammoths, not all of the evidence is explainable by uniformity. For those interested in investigating both sides of this ...

Patten avoids mentioning that some cosmic catastrophists are inclined to think that Venus may be of recent origin as an incandescent eject from Jupiter, accounting for its extremely high temperature and other odd features.

Again, until this test is carried out, I would suggest that it is impossible for a uniformitarian to maintain that such catastrophe's have not occurred, since the evidence concerned has not been collected. Absence of physical evidence for global catastrophes is not evidence for absence of them. The tests I ...

The reader is next launched on plate tectonics, where he can slither around among speculations of cataclysmic causes. Confirmed catastrophists (the critic included) are at home in this context; but the technically competent are bound to be uncomfortable when balance is lacking and cataclysmic events are not presented ...
