... Bible contained records of planetary catastrophes in the Earth's history and, based on this, he suggested that geology, cosmology and ancient history should be reconsidered. In cosmology he proposed that electricity played a much larger role than in the orthodox scheme and that Venus in particular was a young planet. In ancient history, he proposed that the orthodox chronology should be severely shortened to eliminate false identifications and fictitious dark ages'. Over the years, the SIS has always assessed Velikovsky's contributions in an impartial manner, sometimes critically but generally constructively. In some fields, SIS contributors have developed his work several stages further and the Society's flagship journal Chronology and Catastrophism Review is intended to provide a ...
572. The Dark Ages hiatus: a response to Clark Whelton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Dark Ages hiatus: a response to Clark Whelton by Steve Mitchell Summary The theory proposed by Illig and others that centuries are missing from the middle of the first millennium AD is due to their misunderstanding of the Gregorian calendar reform and not some astronomical miscalculation. In choosing to delete 10 days from the calendar, Pope Gregory made a political decision and not a scientific one. The article shows how the correct number of days were actually calculated and the thinking behind Gregory's choice not to push for the correct' answer. It goes on to show how the hiatus in the Dark ...
573. Whose Revision Is Questioned? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... assertions about my views with my views. He sometimes does not distinguish between "can," "might," and "has to be." The most important thing is that Korbach considers my arguments to be definitive, whereas I wrote in the spirit of most Velikovskians-putting some pieces together in an enormous jig saw puzzle that is ancient chronology at the moment. Of course I realize that many genealogical works suggest that the orthodox, revised, and possibly, revised revised chronologies are all or partly wrong. I knew, however, that Vera Kerkhof had questioned- in my opinion, successfully- the validity of chronological conclusions taken from the Ankhefenkhons (or Bakenkhons) genealogy used ...

575. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:2 (Mar 1998) Home | Issue Contents Letters Sennacherib and Solomon In C&CR 1998:1 (Letters p. 59), Michael Reade queries my dating of the death of Sennacherib to 405BC, claiming that this would place the Exodus in 630BC, 25 years after the time of Solomon and asks what is the value of erudite argument on such shaky foundations'? An enlightened mainstream Biblical archaeologist would answer Michael Reade most probably as follows: (i ) Bible chronology jumps in pious multiples of 40 years. Thus, the Bible fundamentalist date of Solomon carries no real weight in scholarly circles; (ii) ...

The coelacanth was thought to have become extinct 60 million years ago, and there the matter would have rested but for the discovery of living specimens of the creature, indistinguishable from its ancestors, in the deep sea of the Indian Ocean. The coelacanth was dubbed "the living fossil", but in private the scientific community recognised that it was far from being an unique phenomenon: many species appeared to be unchanged by very, very long periods in the fossil record. Now ...
578. Black Holes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 1 (Jan 1976) Home | Issue Contents IN PASSING Black Holes " My personal theory about the stubbornness with which recalcitrant facts are somehow fitted into the increasingly shaky orthodox chronology is that, as Gardiner acknowledges, historians fear to cast adrift from our only firm anchor', rather than mere pique at Velikovsky's effrontery in challenging orthodox views. The more one thinks about it, the amazing it is how the revelation that Linear B is Greek was calmly accepted without anyone thinking it put in question the concept of a Greek dark age' which was required by the conventional chronology ". THESE THOUGHTS are taken from a letter by Geoffrey Gammon ...
579. Epilogue to Ramessides, Medes and Persians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Medes, and Persians Sweeney 107 EPILOGUE We have completed, in the foregoing pages, an enterprise that commenced in 1952, when Velikovsky's first volume of Ages in Chaos appeared in the bookshops. It is now perfectly clear why Velikovsky could not close the circle and complete his reconstruction: Always he came up against the apparently immutable measuring-rod of biblical chronology. No one at the time, least of all Velikovsky, imagined there would ever be a need to mount a challenge to that chronology. Yet in the present volume we have seen that the unquestioning acceptance of biblical timescales was probably, more than any other single factor, responsible for the gross distortion of ancient history that we now ...

... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1989 No 2 (Feb 1990) Home | Issue Contents Letters Ice Age Mysteries Dear Sir, New Scientist (17th June 1989) had an interesting feature about the history of the astronomical theory of ice ages. In it, John Gribbin credited the Scottish mathematician James Croll as the originator of the idea later developed by Milankovitch, and he described new work on enhanced versions of the theory, where the effects of orbital variations on the climate are amplified by greenhouse' action of sympathetic fluctuations in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The trouble with the basic theory is that it only predicts small climatic changes, but it is claimed that ...
