... (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents An Extraordinary New Book! Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth - by James E. StrickIing, Jr. An Objective Study of Creationism, Evolution, and Catastrophism A uniquely objective evaluation of both of the major contenders in the creation-evolution controversy. In addition to an examination of the major fallacies of Darwinism, the book details an unprecedented critique of the Creationist position, with an alternative sought within a catastrophist framework. Intriguing investigative studies with respect to certain origins and "nonorigins' within various disciplines are also included- both natural and cultural. Among these, "The Tower of Babel and the Catastrophic Nonorigin of Language Diversity." "James Strickling ...
192. Velikovsky at Harvard [Journals] [Pensee]
... ," Velikovsky asked the physicists and astronomers present, "could the satellites of Jupiter, plowing through the intense Jovian magnetosphere, do so without any observable effect? Or how can you explain the movement of cometary tails around the sun when, by ten to twenty thousand times, solar light pressure is insufficient to do the job?" Darwin, and with him all the biology and paleontology textbooks through the Fifties, "frequently invoked absence of the fossil record to explain what appear to be sudden changes. Today many of the prominent evolutionists of the Fifties have been forced to become catastrophists, but call themselves neo-catastrophists' to separate themselves from me." Further, "the ...
193. Predicting the Past (advert) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all of humankind? Did early human societies develop gradually in uneventful natural surroundings, moving incrementally from savagery to civilisation? Or did horrific cataclysms forcibly conclude a long period of primitive harmony and precipitate our fall' into history? Most scholars during the past century and a half have regarded these questions as settled once and for all. Ever since 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. 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. Astronomers ...
194. Straka: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... the radius of the circle, or 57.2958 degrees.) Straka, comparing the necessary "magnetic energy" to an output of a supernova, committed this time an error, or indulged in a hyperbole, vastly greater than a trillion. Earth in Upheaval carries the story of the deliberations in which, among others, Sir George Darwin and Lord Kelvin participated, discussing the forces needed to change the position of the terrestrial axis. More recently Thomas Gold of Cornell, writing in Sky and Telescope (April, 1958) and in Nature (175, March 26, 1955, p. 526) showed that an infinitesimally weak force would suffice to change the position of ...
195. The Advancement of Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... posthumously published in 1532. He was speaking about politics but the generalization might be enlarged. Probably all who have had anything to do with creating a new science, or trying to do so, would agree with him. Included, even, would be those who could recognize tangible victories in their lifetimes- Galileo, Newton, Hume, Darwin, Pasteur, Freud, Einstein, Planck, and Heisenberg. The development of science, that is, sustains a branch of sociology: of historical psycho-politico-anthropo-sociology. When this is applied to science, as the science of science, a partial truth such as V. s concept of collective fear being inherited from the trauma of ancient catastrophes ...

197. Ice Ages, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... cause glaciation; and some thought that summer in aphelion would produce that effect. Some scholars thought about the changes in the position of the terrestrial axis. If the planet earth is rigid, as it is regarded to be (L . Kelvin), the axis could not have shifted in geological times by more than three degrees (George Darwin); if it were elastic, it could have shifted up to ten or fifteen degrees in a very slow process. The cause of the ice ages was seen by a few scholars in the decrease of the original heat of the planet; the warm periods between the ice ages were attributed to the heat set free by a hypothetical ...
198. Global Catastrophes: New Evidence from Astronomy, Biology and Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the fossil record. Turning to this he showed how views of the geological record have come almost full circle since the 18th-century catastrophism of Cuvier, through its misuse by the creationists and the antithetical reaction of the scientific establishment, to the recent ideas, now voiced on several fronts, of mass extinctions caused by extraterrestrial bodies. Unfortunately, Darwin had linked his ideas of evolution to the uniformitarianism of Lyell, resulting in a gradualistic model of evolution to which the evolutionary biologists have tended to cling tenaciously. Dr Palmer outlined the beliefs of the Modern or neo-Darwinian Synthesis, and argued that even the powerful medical evidence against it, namely that nearly all mutations are harmful, can be ...

In the Permo-Triassic time there was a creature called a coelurosaur, which was semi-aquatic, as was early man. refs. Hardy, Sauer and Elaine Morgan. Comment from Earl Milton: Darwin wondered whether evolution started with one species and diversified or whether there were many to begin with and most were lost.
