... purple prose", as in the title that suggests explosive impacts between the planets Venus, Mars, Earth, and Moon, which he does not claim in the book itself. The style is less timid, hesitant, than might be deemed appropriate. There are hints of arrogance as he warns of the dire fate awaiting the theses of Darwin and Newton (less unseemly today than in 1950, however). There are no appeals to religion, only rare confusions of "ought" and "must" with the factual "is". A certain repetitiveness occurs that may be impossible to avoid, but which nevertheless tends to overstress and amplify some catastrophic occurrences. He avoids ...
312. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Astronomy. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the moon are these bubbles which collapsed, then probably there are smaller bubbles on the moon that have not yet burst. Dr. H. Percy Wilkins, the English selenographer, actually found over forty unexploded bubbles or domes on the moon, several of which lie to the northeast of Copernicus crater; the largest of these is found within Darwin crater and is twenty miles in diameter, according to an article by F. Benario in Vega (1953) I have expressed my opinion that many comets are of recent origin, and I have supported this view by reference to the frequency and luminosity of comets in the days of imperial Rome in comparison to the number of comets visible ...
... France the names of Voltaire and Boulanger stand out; in Germany there is the work of Kant; and on this continent we have the effort of Thomas Jefferson (usually neglected because he refused to consider it other than a private preoccupation). I say this by way of supplementing the account given by Dr. Grinnell of what happened once Darwinism began to be railroaded through [3 ]. Deloria's book, which in some ways renews the tradition of reconciling religion and reason, contrasts Christianity with the tribal religions of North America in an effort to articulate a clear language by which religious systems may be measured. He argues that the content of the Judaeo-Christian religions is structured around their ...
314. The Devil's Advocate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... : I expect, too, that you'll just have too much of a problem explaining away the continental-type rock found in several places in the Pacific Basin where the Moon would have erupted from. Frankly I find it hard to imagine so much of the crust skimming into space. I won't demand calculations at this point; I know that George Darwin and others have claimed such a Moon eruption, but not so impossibly recent. The calculations of the force required to pull away the crust, the amount of interrupted Earth rotation, and the paths of the Intruder and the pursuing crustal matter would be anyone's guess; you'd probably be able to ward off attacks on these accounts. But ...
315. Kicking The Sacred Cow: Questioning The Unquestionable And Thinking The Impermissible (Book review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... here for emphasis, this reviewer has kicked a few of these sacred cows as well, seemingly just for the heck of it since no discernible changes have been noted. And, in fact, it's a sure bet that nothing will be done until a major paradigm shift takes place. Hogan begins by jumping in with both feet to criticize Darwinism and its rather free use by evolutionists, with the self-defining redundancy of tautology, to make if not prove their case. The author has skillfully condensed the various pro and con arguments into a brief 40-odd page essay that is relatively easy going for the average reader. However, I'll refer the more curious reader to some reviews of a ...
316. Revelation and Catastrophe during the Christian Era: a Basis for Historical Interpolation and Future Extrapolation. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Celestial Chaos From about the middle of the nineteenth century, the authority of the established Church gave way in official eyes to the authority of empirical Science. Thus, when the providential view of the universe could no longer be sustained by a purely theological argument, the uniformitarian view of geological and biological evolution (as introduced by Lyell and Darwin respectively) gained in ascendancy and the idea of cosmic catastrophes fell into scientific disrepute. Initially there was an undercurrent of political correctness' associated with the uniformitarian view as Science established its power (chiefly in the hands of Huxley and his acolytes) and the divine component of natural philosophy was ruthlessly expunged. Later, however, as the ...

... they interpret those facts will be addressed shortly. Cremo and Thompson make no secret of the fact that their motivation in writing the book(s ) is to support ideas expressed in Vedic literature. In the Foreword to The Hidden History of the Human Race, Phillip Johnson (School of Law, University of California, Berkeley and author of Darwin on Trial) writes, I .. . do not think that there is anything disreputable about a religious outlook which is candidly disclosed. Scientists like other human beings all have motives, and biases that may cloud their judgement'. That is undoubtedly true but there are special dangers when scientific ideas emerge from religious conviction, rather than ...
318. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from original acceptance of geological evidence supporting biblical stories, through a period of rejection after Lyell's uniformitarian geology and Darwin's huge evolutionary time scales reinforced each other towards a completely gradualistic outlook and, finally, to the recent resurgence of catastrophism via the respectability of impact theories. All theories could be seen as products of their times. After Lyell and Darwin gradualism became so entrenched that even as late as 1993 catastrophism was still considered in some quarters as unscientific, despite there being no hard evidence for gradualism. All the geological evidence for sudden changes was submerged by theories of ice-ages, continental drift, earthquakes and volcanism taking place over long periods of time. Ideas of cosmic catastrophism were definitely ...

320. New Scenarios for Solar System Evolution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... impossible: no mechanism is known and no energy capable of provoking it. The hypothesis that the inclination of the terrestrial axis in relation to the ecliptic and the position of the poles might change has however been taken into consideration since last century. Some of the greatest scientists of the time, including J.C .Maxwell and Sir George Darwin, considered this problem but decided that the stabilising effect of the equatorial bulge was so great that no conceivable force originating within the Earth could lead to a shifting of the axis, except for the collision with another planet. They did not take into account, however, the phenomena of instability which could occur to an Earth-like gyroscope, ...
