... 1950 there was a book published called the "Decline and Pall of Practically Everybody" and shortly thereafter the author himself declined and fell, and, as a matter of fact, I can't remember his name. 1950 was also the same year that Velikovsky published his "Worlds In Collision" in which practically everybody else fell: Lyell, Darwin, and Newton. I want to talk today about the fall of these great men because Western Civilization has been almost a continual battle between, on the one hand, our Judaic tradition and, on the other hand, the Greek tradition, In the 13th century, for instance, the Greek tradition seems to triumph, in the ...

... of the equatorial bulge - "which I apprehend is very far above the fact . . . the shift of the earth's pole would be only two or three miles, and this, though it would greatly surprise astronomers . . . would produce no such changes of climate as those which it is desired to explain."2 Sir George Darwin, mathematician and cosmologist, the renowned son of an illustrious father, made more thorough calculations on this point. If an ocean bed 15 000 feet deep rose to become a continent the size of Africa 1100 feet above sea level, and on the other side of the globe an equal area became depressed, the effect would be a ...

... the population before starting, it would be possible to predict the maximum rate at which temperature tolerance would increase. If in fact it increased faster than this, then the population would have evolved by a mechanism other than neo-Darwinism. "5 Remine shows, "According to Maynard Smith, if a population actually changes faster than predicted, then Darwinism must be mistaken. "6 Nevertheless, as was pointed out, the fossil record clearly indicates that species remain static for long periods of time and new species appear almost in the geological blink of an eye. There appear to be extremely few lineages. For example, Stephen Jay Gould recently has proudly pointed to the evolution of a ...

... recently, Sir Fred Hoyle has argued that asteroid impacts trigger the beginning and end of ice ages (24). Nevertheless, the prevailing tendency of evolutionary biologists has been to follow Darwin's belief that "Nature does not make jumps" (18), a dictum attributable to Linnaeus. The Modern Synthesis, or Neo-Darwinism, uniting genetics and Darwinism, maintains that evolution depends on small, point mutations occurring randomly in genes, altering their characteristics; natural selection acts continuously on populations, so those genes which give their carrier some survival and/or breeding advantage over others will be, in statistical terms, the most successful in being passed on to the next generation (25) ...

75. The SIS Evolution Debate Continued [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1991 (Vol XIII) Home | Issue Contents Forum 1. The SIS Evolution Debate Continued The current SIS evolution debate has its origins in the pages of C & C Workshop when Trevor Palmer (Workshop 1989:2 , p. 33) commented on Jill Abery's short article Punctuated Darwinism? ' in Workshop 1989:1 , pp. 17-19 and questioned the concept of catastrophic periods of mutation'. His comments on the role of ecological niches were taken up by David Salkeld and formed the basis for a Forum' section in Workshop 1990:1 , pp. 14-15, together with Trevor's response. In turn, this brought a ...

... than ten years of research had gone into the book [217, 218], and its conclusions were unique, revolutionary, extraordinary- contradicting prevailing views in evolution, history, and physical Science, and arriving at ideas about gravitation just put forward also by Albert Einstein [27 i]. Velikovsky's work was comparable to the efforts of Darwin and Jeans [284] and provided support for true believers in the Old Testament [271, 284]. Since Velikovsky's views ran counter to such established ones as those of Darwin on evolution and of Newton on celestial mechanics, they were bound to be controversial and unacceptable to many scientists- but conventional scholars are fallible too, as ...

... possibly billions of volts of potential difference and nuclear fission or fusion, the effect would be similar to that of an explosion of many hydrogen bombs with ensuing procreation of monstrosities and growth anomalies on a large scale. What matters is that the principle that can cause the origin of species exists in nature. The irony lies in the circumstance that Darwin saw in catastrophism the chief adversary of his theory of the origin of species, being led by the conviction that new species could evolve as a result of competition with accidental characteristics serving as weapons only if almost limitless time were at the disposal of that competition, with no catastrophes intervening. Now exactly the opposite is true: competition cannot ...

... comets' tails suits Velikovsky's theory, so he accepts it. "( Gentle Reader, give me the chance to pick and choose among the findings of science, accepting this and rejecting that according to my lordly whim, and I will undertake to prove anything you wish proven.)" (23) But this is precisely what Charles Darwin did to establish his theory of evolution. He required that the fossil record show innumerable lineages which he needed even though there were few such lineages discovered. So he chose to say that they did exist, and, in time, they would be found. He required that the age of the Earth be extremely old based on erosion ...

... very remote period in the earth's history, a temperate climate, sufficiently mild to afford food for numerous herds of elephants and rhinoceroses, of species distinct from those now living. It has usually been taken for granted that herbivorous animals of large size require a very luxuriant vegetation for their support ; but this opinion is, according to Mr. Darwin, completely erroneous : "It has been derived," he says, "from our acquaintance with India and the Indian islands, where the mind has been accustomed to associate troops of elephants with noble forests and impenetrable jungles. But the southern parts of Africa, from the tropic of Capricorn to the Cape of Good Hope, although ...

... the very least, if they will not change their minds about Velikovsky's young Venus' concept, they may change their minds about the question of Venus' missing regolith. Over a hundred years ago, the question of the age of the Earth was waged in a scientific war between William Thomson, better known as Lord Kelvin, and Charles Darwin. Thomson, following Helmholtz's research in 1854, concluded that the solar system was some 20 million years old, based on the length of time it would take for the newborn sun and the molten Earth to cool to their present temperatures. (81) Over the following decades his conclusions varied up and down between 20 and 50 million ...
