... knowledge of how long individual beds took to accumulate or of how much time elapsed between the deposition of each...Some thick beds accumulate in a short time, some thin ones take much longer, and in all probability the period of nondeposition that separate most layers represent far more time than is represented by the strata. As Charles Darwin pointed out over a hundred years ago, with far fewer facts to go on than we have today, from the standpoint of time, the sedimentary record is very incomplete - just an entry now and then with long pauses between."[24] How did Darwin know the pauses were long? How long is long? Indeed ...

... experience and all his analytical tools. In analysis, this is called repression." (18) "Was Freud on the verge of some deep insight and, because of that, blocked', as are analytical patients before some truth reveals itself to them?" "Perhaps it is the same, for example, with Newton and Darwin, whose descriptions of the cosmos and life respectively appear to explain all, but in fact only explain enough to keep us from suspecting that there is anything more, winning us with trifles while betraying us, indeed, where the consequences are deepest!"(19) Disturbing as they may be, I believe that Holliday's points here ...

... orthodoxy. He spoke out when and where he saw fit. We should emulate his example. He wasn't a saint. He was a man, and brilliant one. He opened the way to a new era for humanity. His work will survive for that reason, and many others besides. STRATIGRAPHY AS HISTORY SPEAKER: CHARLES GINENTHAL Charles Darwin advanced his theory of gradual evolution based on the assumption that the fossil record known at that time, which was negative to his hypothesis, was "imperfect." By "imperfect" Darwin meant that, with time and further exploration, the missing links necessary to his hypothesis would eventually be discovered. The fact of the matter, ...
284. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... inertia, general relativity, and universal gravitation. (47) In June, Velikovsky approached Appleton-Century with his opus. Appleton had been Charles Darwin's original American publisher, and Velikovsky, ever an ironist, and with his deep sense of history, must have relished the prospect of its successor company coming out with a book that sought to overturn Darwinism. He would have been less delighted, however, with the company's association with Ragnarok, a late nineteenth-century popular book by visionary politician Ignatius Donnelly which drew upon international folk motifs and Biblio-classical literature to buttress the theory that the Earth had been "recently" struck by a huge comet. When Velikovsky first came upon Donnelly's work in 1940 ...
285. A Critical Re-appraisal of the Book of Genesis, Part Two [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . As Wiseman says, "It is confusion confounded" [39]! Wellhausen in fact acknowledged that the result of all this dissecting was "an agglomeration of fragments" [40]. Despite this, his History of Israel (1878) "gave him a place in Biblical studies comparable, it was said, to that of Darwin in biology" [41]. Wellhausen resigned from Greifswald University in 1882. Orthodox Lutherans there were alarmed at the doubts he cast on the inspiration of Scripture. Numerous contradictory explanations of the variations in the use of the Divine name have been given both by critics and by defenders, to account for the fact that in Exodus 6 ...

... of which instantly come true. Macbeth appears to be succumbing, and so Banquo warns him But tis strange; And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray s In deepest consequence. Perhaps it is the same, for example, with Newton and Darwin, whose descriptions of the cosmos and life respectively appear to explain all, but may in fact only explain enough to keep us from suspecting there is anything more, winning us with trifles while betraying us indeed where the consequences are deepest. The pictures these men paint have a very pacifying effect. They tell us that the universe runs ...
288. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... that grew in the deserts, all fully corroborate each other and the collapse of ancient civilizations at the same time due to a climatic, as well as celestial, poleshift catastrophe. What is most interesting is the nature of the way in which historians have looked at what has always been clear evidence of a climate catastrophe. Similarly, when Darwin looked at the evidence of an extinction catastrophe, he understood that that catastrophe would haven shaken the very framework of the globe. Historians, as Darwin, have recoiled at what they have seen and cannot reconcile their observations with their gradualist philosophy. What they were forced to do, as we have discovered repeatedly, was to turn away ...
289. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Crater Pit Widends. D. Crater Completely Formed. Figure 1. THE FOUR STAGES OF BUBBLE THEORY CRATERING. With respect to the lunar bulge, Oberg suggests that I produce a physical equation of how it was produced by tidal forces. For over 100 years, astronomers and geophysicists have been doing that. Where has Oberg been? George Darwin, son of the evolutionist Charles Darwin, presented the theory that the Moon fissioned from the Earth in its early period and then, by tidal interaction, moved away from the Earth. Ever since then, scientists have been calculating the size of the Moon's tidal bulge. The mathematics for the lunar bulge has been worked and reworked. ...
290. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . If true, this will place the Velikovsky story in a significant new light. To deduce Velikovsky's stance vis-a-vis Judaism, we begin with a number of conditions that exerted strong pressure upon him. The first and most obvious is the scientific climate in Europe in the last half of the nineteenth century. In a word, if Lyell and Darwin were correct about the history of geology and biology, the Bible was false. If speculation about the size and age of the universe, the distances of stars and the structure of heavenly systems was correct, the Bible was false. To those who believed that science and mathematics would provide a mechanistic deterministic concrete description of all events and ...
