... of Darwinism in some lay circles. One of Britain's least disreputable daily newspapers [The Guardian, 21 November 1978] served up a journalistically garbled but still just recognizable version of the Eldredge/Gould theory in a leading article, as evidence that all is not well with Darwinism. Predictably, this elicited some uncomprehending fundamentalist glee in the letter columns of the paper, some of it from disquietingly influential sources, and the public could well have been left with the impression that even `the scientists' themselves now have doubts about Darwinism" [72: p. 101]. Possibly this is why evolutionary biologists sometimes choose to present a different image to the outside world from that ...
572. Apocalyptic Imagery In Modern Political Spectacle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... were 140,000 Nazi leaders, all in earth-brown uniforms, standing in rows on the field. Near the sides were two narrow lanes, while there was a wide lane down the centre between the seas of brown. Then the red banners came to the back of the field. The color bearers marched across the rear of the brown columns on the field. Then they came forward, six abreast in the narrower lanes and twenty abreast in the wide center aisle, so there was presented a spectacle of a great tide of crimson seeping through the lanes between the solid blocs of brown. Simultaneously the minor searchlights along the pillared rim above the grandstand were turned down on the ...
573. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Books]
... before that of the marine life [9 ]. Fossils of foraminifera are much smaller and much more numerous than those of dinosaurs: at marine sites, foraminifer fossils are found with an average spacing of a fraction of a millimetre, whereas at Hell Creek there is an average of one dinosaur fossil per 1.1 metres of the stratigraphic column [9 ,22]. Hence, statistically, the extinction of the dinosaurs was likely to have occurred some considerable time after the death of the most recent T. rex specimen found at Hell Creek, and quite possibly at a time coincident with the iridium anomaly. (As an analogy, try working out the exact position of ...
574. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... were afraid that another disaster would occur. Astrology has its beginning in the deeds of the planets. Many of the liturgies since antiquity are echoing in catastrophic events. Around the world peoples of all faiths worshipped astral bodies. Great temples were erected to the planetary deities. The Parthenon was built to honour Athene. In Athens, a few columns of the temple to Zeus are still standing. Temples were erected to Jupiter in Baalbek, and to Amon (Jupiter) in Karnak. The worship and sacrifices to the various deities of the past have the same genesis, as do the establishment of priesthoods and priestly rituals, many of which are still used. Even in the Christian ...
575. Natural Catastrophes in the Ninth Century AD C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and 859. According to the Annals of St Bertin, these were accompanied by a great pestilence and there were floods at Liège in May 858; for three months in the autumn of 859, armies were seen in the sky at night: a brightness like that of daylight shone out unbroken from the east right to the north and bloody columns came streaming out from it'. The three annals continued to present a consistent account, reporting that the winter of 859-860 was very severe and lasted longer than usual. According to the Annals of Fulda, blood-red snow fell in many places and the Adriatic region was so cold that merchants were able to cross the sea and visit Venice ...
576. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... to come, Abram was to survive, "be buried in a good old age,"(159) and that, in due time, the ravaged land of Canaan would pass on to his heirs? Early in the morning, not long after, Abram (now renamed Abraham and residing in Hebron) stood and watched as a column of smoke, like "the smoke of a furnace,"(160) rose on the distant horizon. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, were no more. Among the entire cities of the plain only Bela, henceforth to be called Zoar, had escaped the holocaust of fire that rained from the sky. . ...

Jennifer Barnes, Sedgwick & Jackson, London, 1972 ISBN 0.263.97863.5 (This letter was stimulated by the Sacred Cow' column in the Financial Times Saturday Magazine.) The River Gihon I was interested in The Four Rivers of Eden' (C &CR 2001:2 ). I sometimes wonder where the translators of the Bible thought Ethiopia' was! I do not believe that the Four Rivers' are a myth. The Ur of the Chaldees' ...
578. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... off to fit in with the threefold cycle indicated by my mathematics, I feel bold enough to offer the following Maya inferred orbital calculations- see top of following page. (Due to space limitations I have been obliged to limit the answers to four decimal places.) When divided by three, each of the numbers in the last two columns results in a whole number. The relationship of each sidereal to each synodic period is locked into the equation used to calculate those relationships to Earth. As we have already seen, the Maya number is also divisible by the sacred year of 260 days and the Maya year of 365 days. We should note that the present synodic, ...
579. Whirlpools and Whirlwinds [Books]
... Grand Chaco ascribe the rush of a whirlwind to the passage of a spirit and they fling sticks at it to frighten it away. . . Of the Bedouins of Eastern Africa it is said that "no whirlwind ever sweeps across the path without being pursued by a dozen savages with drawn creases, who stab into the centre of the dusty column in order to drive away the evil spirit that is believed to be riding on the blast." "A blast from Hell" is how an early Christian scribe in Ireland referred to the wind which carried Cuchullin back to his native land in the night-time when he was seen riding in his chariot across the sky. Keats had heard ...
580. Henry H. Bauer and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... me December 18, 1990, called this analysis "a masterpiece of muddled thinking, illogic, equivocation and non-sequitur." Also, interestingly, in the Winter 1985-86 issue of The Skeptical Inquirer, Bauer takes Martin Gardner to task stating: "I value logic and clarity of thought and appreciate them . . . . [But] Gardner's column [criticizing Velikovsky] illustrates some of the debunking tactics I criticize notably . . . comments ad hominem'." (12) I find it extremely fascinating that Bauer can chide Martin Gardner for employing pejorative ad hominem which he himself employed in his own book. Even Gardner whom Bauer berated for using this method was in no way ...
