... who first proposed that such inexplicably "intelligent" genetic transformations must really occur. (He, of course, acknowledged that this would seem to go beyond the "natural," without pretending to explain it.) Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. (1744-1829) I wonder if Cochrane is aware why Karl Popper so consistently resisted strong pressures to kowtow to Darwin as "a great scientist," or even to acknowledge him as a pukka scientist at all. It was because his eyes had been opened by reading Butler's critiques of Darwin. His own notions of how "evolution" works were essentially Butlerian, and in view of the present situation, it must be said that his choice was ...

... . But this is not all. There must be deeper reasons for the extraordinary outburst on the part of the scientific community that greeted and pursued my works. This manifested itself in immense efforts to make me appear to be unscientific or unscholarly, an outcast, and my work of no worth.(1 ) The cases of Galileo, Darwin, and Pasteur were often brought into comparison by many reviewers and numerous correspondents. But, without losing historical perspective, the attacks in these cases were far less vituperative, far more mixed with praise, than the attacks made on the substance of Worlds in Collision and Earth in Upheaval, and personally upon their author. Galileo was received ...

... suit. However, I'm also sure they're preparing to address this contingency even if it resurrects Hoyle and Wickramasinghe's idea of panspermia, [1 ] which puts everything off-planet and into the realm of "skyhooks." Biologists in general have previously considered this to be "Hoyle's Howler." [2 ] Well over a century ago, Charles Darwin did not have any such futuristic acumen or knowledge at his disposal. To be sure, there was an extensive taxonomy of plants and animals available in his time, with more entries being added daily. Darwin himself had spent several years aboard the Beagle in a peregrinating excursion around the world to discover new members to add to the burgeoning ...

44. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... University, UK. Controversy puts the reader at the forefront of the scientific revolution against traditional views of evolution. The champion of alternative views, Catastrophism, declares that sudden cataclysmic events, such as meteor showers, cause mass extinctions followed by rapid bursts of new species - in direct opposition to the Modern Synthesis of neo-Darwinism, the offspring of Darwinism and Genetics, which maintains that evolution is slow, imperceptible, and progressive. Professor Palmer clearly traces the interactive histories of catastrophism and Evolution from ancient times to the present, contextualizing the struggle for dominance between these fundamentally different points of view. Contents: Chapter 1 - The Context of Evolution: the Earth and its Surroundings. 1 ...

45. Punctuated Darwinism? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1989 No 1 (May 1989) Home | Issue Contents Punctuated Darwinism?by Jill Abery Natural selection, the architect of stasis and extinction Darwin's theory of the origin of new species by the natural selection of small variations has received much just and detailed criticism in recent years. Even the discovery of the mechanism of inheritance and the subsequent development of the science of genetics, which at first appeared to give Darwinism a solid foundation, has not come up with any proof that it is possible to change one species into another. Rather, it would seem to indicate that the role of natural selection is to weed out any individuals which vary ...

... g . the six days' of creation) depend on the wording of the King James Bible and are not supported by other versions. Above all, the fossil record shows clearly that life-forms have changed through time, contrary to the claims of creationism. On the other hand, Strickling does not find gradualistic evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin and later by neo-Darwinians, any more convincing as an explanation of the history of life on Earth. He points out, correctly, that the fossil record shows evidence of abrupt transitions - but Darwin and his uniformitarian geologist mentor, Charles Lyell, argued that this was because the record was faulty, not because changes were sudden. The ...

... | II | III | IIII | PART IV : Appendixes I | II | III | IV | Acknowledgements | Notes And References | AUTHOR'S PREFACE Here is another book dealing with cosmic catastrophism. One of the most important problems science has had to solve is to discover whether the world has evolved gradually, by imperceptible changes, as Lyell and Darwin propounded (and as the majority of scientists nowadays believe), whether it has progressed by leaps, under the impact of global catastrophes (as is thought by a minority), or whether perhaps the two theories are compatible, so that a process of slow evolution generally prevailed, periodically interrupted by world-wide cataclysmic events. These questions are ...

... However, in the same year, by detecting the anomaly in the revolution of Mercury, always accumulating in one and the same direction, he threw the first doubt on the infallibility of these very laws. The theory of uniformity, as understood by Lamarck and Hutton and developed by Lyell, became the cornerstone of the Darwinian theory, and Darwin went so far as to say that anybody who was unconvinced by Lyell's teaching should refrain from reading the Origin of Species. The principle of uniformity, or the explanation of all past events in the history of the globe in terms of the processes in action in our own age, or the denial of catastrophic crises in the past, ...
