... . Thomas Kuhn has objected that the history of science had not been at all what one would expect on Popper's view. What has in fact happened, as Kuhn sees it, is as follows: investigations in various fields at first have been conducted in a more or less piecemeal and haphazard fashion, until a great mind like Newton or Darwin proposes some overall theory which gains general acceptance by specialists in the field. Such theories, which Kuhn labelled `paradigms', are promulgated universally by those professionally qualified in the relevant subject, and so far from attempts being made to falsify paradigms, efforts are devoted to forcing nature to fit into them. Every paradigm has always given ...

... changing views about the primaeval Earth, only one amino acid featured significantly amongst the products. Nevertheless there was general confidence that Miller's experiments (performed in collaboration with Harold Urey) had provided evidence that, given the right conditions and plenty of time, life could have originated on the primaeval Earth in a way similar to that suggested by Charles Darwin in 1871 in a letter to Joseph Hooker. Darwin wrote: "It is often said that all the conditions for the first production of a living organism are now present. But if (and oh! what a big if!) we could conceive in some warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, ...
... calculations. Again, look at the great Pacific, studded with island gems, that are, as is well known, the summits of mountains submerged. Here are millions of square miles of submerged lands, as proven by coraline formations,* * " A Melbourne journal describes a remarkable piece of coral taken from the submarine cable near Port Darwin. It is of the ordinary species, about five inches in height, six inches in diameter at the top, and about two inches at the base. It is perfectly 140 The Earth's Annular System. that have in modern geologic times succumbed to oceanic inroads (i .e ., oceanic elevation), and which would to-day ...

135. Zetetic Scholar Nos. 3 & 4 April 1979 [Articles]
... that some kind of violent forces on a large scale were the principal agents in shaping the Earth. Though presently thought to be discredited, catastrophism has considerable foundation in the development of scientific thought. Indeed, this interpretation of the Earth's record was considered respectable within geology until about a century ago, when the views of Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin became victorious over it in the context of an intellectual war waged with religious and political overtones.18 The earlier geologists of catastrophist views were unscientific when they mixed together geologic evidence and Biblical testimony without recognizing, as Velikovsky does in the construction of his argument, the sharply different nature of the two types of proof. What replaced this ...
136. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... with the beginning of the Victorian age. The founders of the sciences of geology- Buckland, Sidgwick, and Murchinson (who gave the classification of formations used today); of vertebrate paleontology- Cuvier; and of ichthyology- Louis Agassiz- never doubted that what they observed was the result of repeated cataclysms in which the entire globe partook. Actually, Charles Darwin, observing the destruction of fauna in South America, was convinced that nothing less than the shaking of the entire frame of the Earth could account for what he saw. But the introduction of the principle of uniformitarianism by Charles Lyell, a lawyer who never had field experience, and the acceptance of it on faith by Charles Darwin, ...
137. The Pleiades in Aboriginal Mythology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... I have been using an exceptionally well-presented anthology of Aboriginal stories called Australian Dreaming.(1 ) The path of my research led me into the realm of catastrophism because much of the content of Aboriginal myth has to do with geographic and climatic change: there is no slow, orderly procession in any of them - the Aborigines never heard of Darwinism. The Aborigines had, however, witnessed a series of events associated with the Pleiades, and it was a story woven around this constellation which lit my candle of awareness. In a myth associated with the Clarence River Basin of northern New South Wales it is stated definitely that great climatic changes occurred when one of the stars in the ...

139. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1994 No 2 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents Forbidden Science by Richard Milton (Fourth Estate, London, 1994, hardback, £14 99) Richard Milton's previous book The Facts of Life: Shattering the Myth of Darwinism attracted mixed reviews, both inside and out of mainstream circles (see Trevor Palmer's review in C&C Workshop 1993:1 , pp.22-27). However it sold well and went on to become available in paperback. Milton has followed it up with a new book, Forbidden Science, subtitled Suppressed research that could change our lives, which offers a perceptive and revealing voyage around the exotic world ...
140. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Editor's Notes Welcome to the first issue of the new-style Chronology & Catastrophism Review, which is planned to appear two or three times a year and replaces the old C&C Workshop and C&C Review journals. This issue contains a major reappraisal by Trevor Palmer of the contributions and thinking of Darwin, Lyell and the other major Victorian scientists in the middle of the 19th century - developing the ideas outlined in his book Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution. Benny Peiser questions orthodox thinking about the dating and origin of Homer, and Gunnar Heinsohn asks some awkward questions about the archaeology of the Middle East, focussing on the site of Hazor ...
