... an uncertainty of its location of up to 17 million metres. Looked at on a Solar-System-sized scale this 0.00012 AU truly is a small distance, but on a planetary scale it represents an uncertainty of 2.75 Earth-radii. If I might interject a Churchillian retort: "Some gnat!" In a comet-planet collision, survival or destruction of oneself and one's country, or even of the Earth itself, would depend critically upon the exact position and motion of the comet and not upon the time-averaged position of its mean daily motion! In this context Newtonian dynamics fails completely, which illustrates another of Dr Bass's points. I shall return to that point after the digression which ...
822. Centuries of Darkness? - the reviewers reviewed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Iron Age I into a 50 year span, (ii) a possible conflict over the arrival of the Philistines, (iii) archaeological evidence for Solomon building Hazor and for the Israelite presence in the hill-country during the Judges period, (iv) Ramesses III as Shishak instead of Shoshenq I, and (v ) the attribution of the destruction level of Samaria VI. None of these objections are substantive, all are matters of interpretation. Whereas Dodson carefully does not include the recent spate of publications among the lunatic fringe', Kenneth Kitchen quite deliberately does. Writing for the Times Literary Supplement, he refers to the authors of Centuries of Darkness as the sons of Velikovsky' ...
823. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... are the contents of all these major cosmologies similar? 3. are these contents related to the common vision which underpins the religions (as I defined that in my earlier paper), and does Western cosmology therefore seem to equally assuage what I have called the Triple Terror*? [* The Triple Terror = a simultaneous fear about the destruction of the individual, the whole species and the Earth itself.] If the answer to all three turns out to be yes, as I hope to show, then I think we will have established a very deep relationship between religion, cosmology and catastrophism. We will then be in a position to reach some very large conclusions about ...
824. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... years or so ago. However, in the light of arguments summarised in Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution [1 : pp. 12-23], such a position should not be tenable today. What is the explanation? Did I overstate the case against the dichotomy myth', or has Lewin, usually so well-informed, remained oblivious of its destruction, possibly in company with many others? To answer those questions, it is necessary to examine the interacting histories of geology and biology in somewhat greater detail than previously. I did discuss the work of James Hutton and Georges Cuvier, showing Hutton was far from being a paragon of all the scientific virtues' [1 : pp. ...

827. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... The Peruvians say that their culture was given them by Chon (or Chontisi, or Huiracocha), a red-haired wise man and mighty magician, whose very word levelled the hills and filled the valleys. The Baal-priest Berossus, drawing on Chaldaean-Babylonian mythology, tells us: In the first year of the creation [that is, after the great destruction caused by the capture cataclysm], the powerful being Oannes came out of the sea. Though he was of different race [he is described as having a fish-tail, or as being clothed in fish-skin, meaning, perhaps, scale-armour], he spoke in a tongue which they could understand. He taught them, who lived like ...
828. Ancient History Study Group Report on meeting of 6th March 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... How did such a succession of natural events occur? Were there really 10 events, as there were Ten Commandments? How could such natural events occur within such an unnaturally short period of time - and if the events were supposed to be natural', why were not the more common natural disasters, such as a high Nile flood, destruction of buildings by fire, earthquakes, or even a plague of a killer disease, brought down upon the heads of the offending Egyptians? My hidden agenda for this meeting was therefore to try to find out the extent of the beliefs of those attending, including whether or not they believed in the literal truth of the Biblical narrative. ...
829. The Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion & Cosmology, by Charles Ginenthal [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , 1995) claiming that periodically (in terms of millions of years) the accumulation of ice at the poles causes a gyroscopic out-of-balance torque and the crust of Earth suddenly slides into a new position, so that when this happened there was a drastic climate change in as little as one day in many parts of the world, with consequent destruction of countless animal lives. This probably accounts for some of the catastrophes described by Velikovsky and may even result in apparent Earth reversals that Peter Warlow claims in his book The Reversing Earth (J M Dent, London, 1982). This may appeal to those who dislike the idea of catastrophes caused by charged erratic cosmic bodies careering through ...
830. The Origin of the Devil (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... distances, just as the dragon swept down stars with its tail. From Genesis to Revelation the devil appears as a serpent or dragon; the two are one. It is certainly worthy of note that all words cognate with devil contain the idea of furious violence, e.g . Greek tûphon, a hurricane; Arabic tûfon, a destructive demon; and even Chinese tai-feng, a tornado of the China Seas (typhoon). The devil takes the part of the dragon in modern religion, his divine counterpart the place of the dragon. Upon the experiences of the Tertiary cataclysm all religious systems, including Christianity, were built. A peculiar name for the devil which has ...
