... Europe and America provide a "natural" experiment from which instructive conclusions can be drawn. It cannot be cited in support of Darwinian theory. (pp. 50-51)" The horses are not a conspicuous example of an idiomorphon relentlessly developing toward extinction, but there are plenty of these from molluscs that finally sealed themselves into their shells to dinosaurs that outgrew their environment. The antlers of the Irish elk are a very minor manifestation of a seemingly widespread kind of problem: "If selection consciously oversees evolution, how is it possible that, through the ages, so many lines have taken paths which endanger them? Still, this is what has often happened, and what accounts ...
342. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a point which was crucial to his whole case! His other main arguments were: the floral extinction at the end Cretaceous amounted to not a great deal more (generally) than across other geological boundaries for which no catastrophe has been invoked (e .g . the Palaeocene-Eocene); and often floral change occurred 2-6 metres above the latest dinosaur bones - i.e . 50-90 thousand years, based on estimates for the sedimentation rate. With arguments like that a great deal depends on your point of view - they should cut no ice with a catastrophist.

343. Evolution, Darwinism, Popper, and Fort - Again (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... you for wandering too far afield.)* Alexander Mebane Venice, FL *Happily, no one did. - LMG To the Editor of KRONOS: In the article by Bennison Gray - "The Science of Evolution (Part I)" - published in KRONOS VIII:3 (p . 42), the authors refer to "dinosaurs that outgrew their environment". They may not have realized it, but this allusion sounds as though they might have meant the extinction of them all, which they did not mean to imply. Could they give me their example (or two) of the one(s ) that did this outgrowing, and, also, explain ...
344. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... Pensée I, came out with another journal of interdisciplinary studies, Chiron, which was to principally treat the humanities in relation to Velikovsky's catastrophism. The journal was mutually exclusive of Pensée, although projected articles would tend to overlap somewhat in subject matter if not in their relative approach. After the first issue, however, Chiron became an early dinosaur and vanished from the scene. Shortly after its untimely demise, Greenberg- who had been one of the senior editors- and Warner Sizemore, professor of comparative religion at Glassboro State College, considered publishing a journal of their own which would take a firmer stand on Velikovsky's theses. When, late in 1974, the idea for Kronos ...

... or two of an arctic zone. Also the world then far less burdened with weight than at present would, in accordance with the law of gravity, complete a shorter annual orbit and so be nearer to the Sun, thus enjoying indefinitely greater warmth. Amid such conditions it can be foreseen how the greater crustaceans and mammals such as the dinosaur came into existence through volcanic agency amid atmospheric and climatic conditions which made the world of that time a vast incubator or forcing house. 193.Less fortunate than Tahiti was another land whose geological classification probably dates from the old Red Sandstone epoch. No one can study the classic descriptions of the Hyperborean Continent without recognising the fact that it ...
346. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... Mars with other planets larger than itself and more powerful make it improbable that any higher forms of life, if they previously existed there, survived on Mars. It is rather a dead planet; every higher form of life, of whatever kind it might have been, most probably had its Last Day." [emphasis added] The dinosaur is an example of a higher form of life, but one would hardly refer to it as intelligent in the sense Sagan implies. Sagan continues,"But when we examine Mars as seen by Mariner 9, and Viking 1 and 2 we find that a bit more than one-third of the planet has a modified cratered terrain somewhat reminiscent ...

... really decisively support the particular scenario that V proposes in WIC ? It could support it, it is true, but at the same time it is so vague that it could just as easily refer to something else entirely. Where are the G details which link this passage of Ginzberg more strongly with V's scenario than with the extinction of the dinosaurs, for example ? Indeed, the latter seems more likely, if anything, insofar as G does seem to suggest that in the ages before this one there were no men. This same vagueness' clause applies to many other myths and legends about world ages used by V. They are simply not specific enough to lend anything more ...
349. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... in Science that the shells of living mollusks when radiocarbon dated was found to be 2,300 years old.47 Thus, the dating by radiocarbon, though much respected by the scientific community, is not without serious problems. It is believed that such a method is perhaps accurate back no more than 50,000 years. However, dinosaur bones, coal and oil that are supposed to be millions of years old have yielded radiocarbon dates.48 This is supposed to be impossible. In fact, J. Ogden of a Carbon14 testing laboratory wrote an article titled, "The Use and Abuse of Radiocarbon" in the Annals of the New York Academy of Science, where ...
... Conclusive Evidence. 363 So nearly are the lower eocene beds related to the cretaceous that eminent geologists are unable to agree as to whether they are tertiary or earlier. Dana says: " It is doubtful whether they are one or the other." Both Profs. Cope and Marsh discovered in eocene beds remains of saurians, related to the dinosauri and megalosauri, which are known to have been cretaceous forms. Thus so far . we see that the " American Record " shows that new waters brought in a new environment, involving a general destruction of cretaceous forms, and buried them in the debris of the cretaceous world, carried in a great revulsion to the seas, which ...
