... the beginning of the seventh century before the present era, twenty-six centuries ago. Accordingly, this volume consists of two parts, preceded by a prologue. Harmony or stability in the celestial and terrestrial spheres is the point of departure of the present-day concept of the world as expressed in the celestial mechanics of Newton and the theory of evolution of Darwin. If these two men of science are sacrosanct, this book is a heresy. However, modern physics, of atoms and of the quantum theory, describes dramatic changes in the microcosm- the atom- the prototype of the solar system; a theory, then, that envisages not dissimilar events in the macrocosm- the solar system ...
162. Lithological and palaeontological stratigraphy [Books]
... covers what was formerly a continent, but we do not know why or how it happened. Lyell has pronounced that everything has happened very slowly and that only the forces which we can see acting today have shaped the world in the past. Those forces are erosion, slow sedimentation, and volcanism. This principle still rules -geology today. Darwin added to it the principle of the survival of the fittest in the struggle for the daily beef steak and the best digs. This, too, remains a fundamental rule for our times. Is the theory of slow evolution or uniformity based on a really `scientific' approach? What do we really know of the `historical past ...

... and the Earth as a whole. A large number of diverse approaches led to a large number of diverse results. Nineteenth-century geologists differed widely in their opinions.They could be classed in three groups: the uniformitarians, led by Lyell, believed that the age of the Earth was essentially infinite; a more moderate group, influenced largely by Darwin, held that the age of the Earth was several hundred million years; but the revolutionists, under the leadership of Lord Kelvin, had the shortest and most accurate estimate, 24 million years, established on the basis of erroneous heat loss calculation .. .. Rutherford (1906) made the first attempt to measure geological ages of ...

... the streaming bodies. Within a few years, they assumed the globular form of the Moon. CONTRIBUTING THEORIES AND ERUPTION DYNAMICS That the Moon erupted from the Earth is not a new idea, but one that received a momentary scientific appreciation in the nineteenth century. Observing the mysterious vastness off the Pacific Basin and calculating from mechanical physics, George Darwin (1879) ventured the theory and was supported by Osmond Fisher and others [5 ]. Howard B. Baker distributed in 1932 mimeographed copies of a treatise arguing the case. Lately, several scientists have joined in espousing the notion. In all cases except Baker, the time set for the event has been "near the beginning ...
166. Victory of The Sun [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the attempts during that time by philosophers, theologians, and scientists to discover an eternal orderliness in the skies, it is not given to us to believe that the heavens have settled down forever. In a strictly logical sense, we must however agree with the founder of uniformitarian thought, James Hutton, he who influenced Lyell and thus Charles Darwin. Writing in 1795, he declared: "In examining things present we have data from which to reason with regard to what has been; and from what has actually been, we have data for concluding with regard to that which is to happen hereafter."[20] In their simple and elegant abstraction, his words are ...

168. Predicting The Past [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... have deeply traumatized all of humankind? Did early human societies develop gradually in uneventful natural surroundings, moving incrementally from savagery to civilization? Or did cataclysms forcibly conclude a long period of primitive harmony and precipitate our "fall" into history? Most scholars during the past century-and-a-half gave regarded these questions as settled once and for all. Ever sine Darwin, the great majority of historians, anthropologists, and geologists have assumed that the doctrine of gradual evolution was proven beyond need for further discussion. Today, the tide has turned somewhat. Now school children are taught that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to the crashing to Earth of a comet or an asteroid sixty million years ago ...

Earl begins with some quotes: ". .. the present generation will probably behave just as badly if another Darwin should arise, and inflict upon them that which the generality of mankind most hate- the necessity of revising their convictions." Thomas Henry Huxley "A man receives only what he is ready to receive... The phenomenon or fact that cannot in any way be linked with the rest of what he has observed, he does ...

... with the Earth, and then journeying around the Solar System and galaxy, before returning back to Earth. Biology of the Cell Bruce Lipton BRUCE LIPTON is a citobiologist (cell biologist) whose talk is on the paradigm breaking "biology of the cell". His first question, is where is the cell's "brain". According to Darwin, traits are inherited; Watson and Crick discovered the structure of the "blueprint of life" (DNA). The human genome project aims to map all the genes in human DNA which was estimated at 50-90,000 to account for the complexity in humans. But the project found only 35,000. As David Baltimore said ...
