... Concern about comets- and even worry- was an ancient pastime for writers and philosophers of old, but perhaps one might note that the more modern era of speculators on such things began with William Whiston at the close of the 17th century with his New Theory of the Earth, wherein he postulated that a comet was responsible for the Biblical deluge. Since the days of Whiston there have been numerous authors who have conjectured all manner of physical and non-physical explanations. There are notable books and papers, without doubt, that contain good information, although most by far are replete with heaps of misinformation and equally strange interpretations. Despite our present knowledge we still have a lot to learn ...

Vail Part 1 – INTRODUCTION The Annular Theory claims that all planets develop along the same general lines. Consequent upon an igneous condition, a system of Saturn-like rings, composed largely of aqueous and mineral vapor, are formed about the planet's equator. Such a system of rings once surrounded the earth, and by their successive collapse produced great changes during the geologic period. Their remnants, ...

... also as the Feast of Dedication. It was on that date in 164 BC that the Hebrew Maccabees finally prevailed over the Syrian host of Antiochus Epiphanes. (82) The real significance of the lights, however, may long antedate the second century BC. According to Velikovsky, with reference to Isaiah, seven days of light preceded the Deluge. The intense light, which filled the sky, emanated from a nova-like disruption of Saturn; and during the Deluge there occurred significant changes in the Earth's lithosphere and biosphere. (83) The memory of these stupendous events survived for millennia and vestiges of the cult of Saturn persist even till today. One of these memorials is the ...

... year" (Seneca) of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds, a lunar month being equal to 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.7 seconds, mean synodical period. Notes 1 W. Whiston, in New Theory of the Earth (1696), expressed his belief that before the Deluge the year was composed of 360 days. He found references in classic authors to a year of 360 days, and as he recognized only one major catastrophe, the Deluge, he r elated these references to the antediluvian era. 2 Thibaut "Astronomie, Astrologie und Mathematik," Grundriss der indo-arischen Philologie und Alterthumskunde (1899), ...

... fishes and amphibians. The largest land plants were apparently swept along above the smaller ones to generate upon sudden burial the tremendous coal deposits of the Pennsylvanian, but these most characteristic fossils were also mixed with characteristic Early Paleozoic life - corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, mollusks, echinoderms and vertebrates - together with fusulinids and insects. The great (deluge) catastrophe apparently subsided around the end of the Permian which was characterized still with essentially the same fossil species as in the Pennsylvanian - fusulinids, corals, brachiopods, mollusks, cephalopods, amphibians and fishes. The trilobites and echinoderms mostly failed to reach the Permian level, but like conditions following even smaller catastrophes the reptiles were prolific in ...

... forgotten, and, with reduced brightness, continued to shine as a sun of night. There is no difficulty imagining why the ancients perceived this as a supreme act of creation. 3) We do not know what actually happened during the period of the Creation, but Immanuel Velikovsky states: ". .. in the catastrophe of the Deluge, which I ascribe to Saturn exploding as a nova, the cosmic rays must have been very abundant to cause massive mutations among all species of life .. ." (I . Velikovsky, "The Pitfalls of Radiocarbon Dating", in the Spring-Summer 1973 issue of Pensee, p. 13). Elsewhere Velikovsky says: " ...

All I can say in apology is that one cannot squeeze a quart measure into a pint pot. At this present parting of the ways, what then have I attempted to establish? The Flood of Noah, or the Deluge of Deucalion, identical with the submergence of Atlantis, has been the basis of various conclusions, as likewise the legendary war between the Gods and the Giants, all pointing to one outstanding fact, namely that the arena was set in the British Isles and Scandinavia. Cognate with it is the classic myth of the fall of Phaeton in ...

... given the general title, Catastrophism Old and New. Peter Warlow took as his subject "Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages", and began his talk by producing a first-edition copy of the Rev. William Buckland's book, Observations on the Organic Remains Contained in Caves, Fissures and Diluvial Gravel and Other Geological Phenomena Attesting the Action of an Universal Deluge. This book (the original is titled in Latin) was published in 1823 and reflects the opinion of the time that all of the curious things found in the geological record were due to Noah's Flood. Then, about 1830, Louis Agassiz proposed that erratic bones, rocks, etc. could be explained by glacial action; and ...
