... respect to this last catastrophe, is not less so with reference to those which have preceded it."(2 ) The theory of repeated catastrophes annihilating life on this planet and repeated creations or restorations of life, offered by Deluc(3 ) and expanded by Cuvier, did not convince the scientific world. Like Lamarck before Cuvier, Darwin after him thought that an exceedingly slow evolutional process governs genetics, and that there were no catastrophes interrupting this process of infinitesimal changes. According to the theory of evolution, these minute changes came as a result of adaptation to living conditions in the struggle of the species for survival. Like the theories of Lamarck and Darwin, which postulate ...
82. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Abery writes to tell us of an article by Dr. Beverly Halstead, defending palaeontology and the concept of Darwinian evolution against the charge that the latter is not a scientific theory but a metaphysical one. This gave rise to a page of letters (31/7 /80 p.402). Halstead, representing one extreme of uniformitarian Darwinism, was alarmed at the boost given to those representing the other extreme of fundamentalist Creation by the inference that the theory of evolution is not in any way provable, especially when this idea is given weight by the apparent intention to state just this in an exhibition on evolution to be staged at the British Museum in 1981. Sifting between ...

... theories." Barzun concurred and said: "I suppose that the difficulty is that since no one has attempted what he has attempted, no one is in a position to judge his correctness in each of the fields." Fadiman noted: "Isn't his method- I'm not talking about his results- isn't the method fairly similar to that which Darwin used in The Origin of Species?" Goldsmith agreed. Fadiman continued: "Darwin drew his proofs from at least seven or eight sciences as they were constituted in his day and always drew upon the material which seemed to prove his thesis." To this Barzun remarked that in Darwin's days the natural philosopher was more likely to be ...

... of Britain, France, Spain, and also the Mediterranean islands are filled with bones of animals- and their state and position suggest that the land and the sea repeatedly changed places. Also on the American continent. North and South, caverns in the hills are found filled with animals of various habitats, entombed in conditions of catastrophes. Actually Darwin could be quoted from his Journal of the Voyage of the Beagle. After observing the immense heaps of fossil bones in South America, he wrote: The greater number, if not all, of these extinct quadrupeds lived at a late period.... Since they lived, no very great change in the form of the land ...

86. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... delicate) methods of ideological analysis, then the methodology of literary analysis will take a step forward, and the techniques can be applied to other fields, most directly to those in which the Unconscious plays an important role, as for example political science. Here, for instance, one could hypothesize that a sociogenic route ran from Malthus to Darwin to Freud to Lasswell, with a "rational" diversionary and less productive route from Darwin to Bagehot to Wallas to Lasswell. Still another point of significance has to do with why the investigator should propose this study only now, after 38 years of interest in the general area. Until recently, he has not known enough of the ...
87. On Ecological Niches in Evolution [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... reading Trevor Palmer's letter (Workshop 1989:2 , p.33) I was confronted with some small problems. Firstly, I confess to continued bafflement as to how new ecological niches' explain the origin of one or more species. Part of my problem doubtless lies with my lack of expertise in the subject. When Trevor writes that Darwin envisaged that natural selection worked most effectively where all ecological niches were filled', what does most effectively' mean? As Trevor goes on to show, the conditions for origination of new species seem not to be present (or present to a much lesser extent) when all niches are full. And is it true that when Man ...
88. Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2005 (Sep 2005) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth Trevor Palmer Historical Perspective Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the gradualistic paradigm, championed in the previous century by Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin, had seemed beyond challenge. As envisaged by Darwin, biological evolution proceeded in a slow and stately fashion, through the mechanism of natural selection. As he himself put it, It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinising, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and ...
89. The Egypt Exploration Society Hears the New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1989 No 2 (Feb 1990) Home | Issue Contents HORIZONS The Egypt Exploration Society Hears the New Chronology Saturday October 28th 1989 and it is a very ordinary autumn morning. The members of the Egypt Exploration Society are gathering in London University's Darwin theatre to hear two speakers with highly revolutionary theories on ancient history - David Rohl and Alessandra Nibbi. David Rohl is to speak first, a fact much appreciated by the several SIS and ISIS members present. He is going to attempt to outline the case for the New Chronology - a trifling 1000 years of history to be covered and revised in his allotted hour - and this act of prestidigitation ...
90. Of Racial Memory. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Of Racial Memory Whether acquired characteristics are inheritable is a question that has generated scientific debate and inquiry since the days of Lamarck. He was a proponent of such inheritance and it is usually asserted that Darwin, two generations later, was its opponent. The truth is that Darwin in his theory of gemmules (1868) subscribed to the view that each cell in an organism sends its imprint to the reproduction cells (germs or plasma) and that this is how inheritance of parental features takes place; in such an arrangement acquired characteristics would naturally be hereditary. New characteristics of wheat or ...
