... mystery consists in the existence of ruins of a great city at the southern side of the lake, the builders being entirely unknown. The city covered a large area, built by highly skilled masons, and with the use of enormous stones."2 When the author of the quoted passages posed his question to the scholarly world, Leonard Darwin, then president of the Royal Geographical Society, offered the surmise that the mountain had risen considerably after the city had been built. "Is such an idea beyond the bonds of possibility?" asked Sir Clemens. Under the assumption that the Andes were once some two or three thousand feet lower than they are now, "maize ...
52. James E. Strickling's Origins [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:1 (Sep 1997) Home | Issue Contents James E. Strickling's Origins http://www.bookmasters.com/marktplc/books/00166.htm Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, a book by James E. Strickling. The core of the industrial world's twentieth-century world-view is Darwinism- as in Charles Darwin. No matter whether you're being entertained by Jurassic Park or being educated by National Geographic and Time-Life or fighting the school board over the use of a particular high school science textbook, Darwinism is the common denominator. Darwinism, as currently perceived, is charged by Strickling as being The Great Lie. Furthermore, ...
53. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol IV No 1 (Autumn 1979) Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Edited by Brian Moore Darwinian Man EVER SINCE DARWIN; Reflections in Natural History by S. J. Gould (London: Burnett Books/André Deutsch, 1978). STEPHEN JAY GOULD, Professor of palaeontology and evolutionary biology at Harvard University, has already established himself as a popular science writer through a regular column in Natural History, and is now reaching a much wider audience in Britain in the pages of the New Scientist. The present volume brings together a number of his best pieces, and confirms him as the most accessible writer on Darwinism since LOREN EISELEY. The short pithy ...
54. A Firmament. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents A Firmament The example of Darwin, a victim of amnesia with respect to experiences of his fieldwork, is not a unique case. It is more in the nature of a rule. The denial of terrifying experiences, or the suppression of awesome thoughts suggested by observations, can be witnessed again and again. Any one of us who chances to have a mishap that is more than he can live with in conscious memory is likely to deny the experience, or misinterpret it. From the many cases at my disposal, I shall select the case of Loren Eiseley, anthropologist and historian ...
55. For the Record. . . [Journals] [Kronos]
... ... The theory of evolution is vindicated by catastrophic events in the earth's past; the proclaimed enemy of this theory proved to be its only ally. The real enemy of the theory of evolution is the teaching of uniformity, or the non-occurrence of any extraordinary events in the past [emphasis added]. This teaching, called by Darwin the mainstay of the theory of evolution, almost set the theory apart from reality. Great catastrophes of the past accompanied by electrical discharges and followed by radioactivity could have produced sudden and multiple mutations of the kind achieved today by experimenters, but on an immense scale. The past of mankind, and of the animal and plant kingdoms, ...
56. Imaginary and Expected Catastrophes: Apocalyptic Desire and Scientific Prognosis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have to know by heart the new credo: All theories are rejected which involve the assumption of sudden and violent catastrophes and revolutions of the whole earth' [6 ]. Even George Cuvier's masterpiece of catastrophist geology [7 ], which Lyell wanted to wipe off the realm of scholarship, was not yet conceived. Lyell's master disciple Charles Darwin was not born until forty-four years after Boulanger's insight. Darwin's own Darwinism even had to wait until 1859 [8 ] to be made known to the general public. After all, young Darwin was no stranger to cataclysms. Reflecting on America's geology he wondered: What, then, has exterminated so many species and whole genera? The ...

... arbitrarily dated in periods covering millions of years, and the Scot James Hutton wrote his seminal book Theory of the Earth in 1795. A year later Pierre Simon de Laplace announced his cosmological theory of the solar system, using Newtonian mechanics and building on the previous hypotheses of Immanuel Kant and Emmanuel Swedenborg. That same year (1796) Erasmus Darwin- grandfather of the illustrious Charles- proposed that the fossils found in the rocks represented an evolution of species as the "great ladder of nature," curiously penning his approach to the mystery in an epic poem, Zonomia. The French biologist, Jean Baptiste de Lamarck, was the first to devote an entire book to evolution as ...

... a much later, post-deluge period. He didn't say what led him to that conclusion. My aim is to show why I think he was right. I was further prompted by an address given by our church treasurer in 1998 on How religion has to adapt to the new findings of science', which concluded with unmitigated adulation of Charles Darwin. This is part of my response, written as a series of articles in our church magazine which I put together as a paper entitled Disasters in Genesis'. Early sections of the paper outline the way in which scientific thought in England, prior to the dawn of the 19th century, developed within constraints imposed by the established church ...
59. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... BM brochure causing all the bother dates from 1978. Wasn't the NATURE Editorial well timed! It is Darwinian evolution and its status that seems to mainly concern NATURE. They take it for granted that some kind of evolution is a must for all serious scientists, but Darwinian evolution is a fact, not a theory, by their argument. Darwinism is consistent. They intimate that it has yet to be falsified by any of the discoveries of the last century of discovery. Molecular biology provides one "proof" of Darwinism in the persistence of histones and other compounds. They ask: "Why, then, are the museum and NATURE, both moderate institutions, at loggerheads? ...

... Miles. The omitted Petralona skull happened to be in Greece and was represented in the book of the exhibition. He pointed out that the exhibition was designed to present facts and allow the public to make up their own minds, and not be presented with the evolutionary views of some particular scientist. Halstead's views re Marxist and Fascist attacks on Darwinism were delightfully described as asinine and Patterson noted that any criticism of the scientific validity of neo-Darwinism seemed to provoke illogical accusations. Surely a scientific theory should be capable of a logical defence. Readers will no doubt recognize the psychology of this situation! The general conclusion was that Darwin may not be dead but that he is definitely showing signs ...
