... dropped suddenly at the end of the Permian, only to rapidly rise again. Afterwards, life was radically changed in a catastrophic evolutionary leap. One team has suggested extinctions at the end of the Permian were caused by carbon dioxide in sea water being released so fast because of changing oceanic circulation that one might almost have seen it fizzing.

222. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... , these writings go far in defining the origins of our ancient cultures and their religions. I recently read a book that echoed similar efforts in scientific research that was not being accepted into the mainstream. The book- The Big Bang Never Happened- describes how research in plasma physics has uncovered various anomalies in the universe, including the accepted evolution of galaxies. The Big Bang theory, however, remains a dogma of astrophysics even though it apparently lacks sufficient evidence (and this book describes why it remains so). The treatment given to plasma research sounds somewhat similar to the treatment given to the theory of a youthful planet Venus (to say nothing concerning the current research regarding ...
223. RECONSTRUCTING THE SATURN MYTH [Journals] [Aeon]
... experience, it will be seen that each is dependent upon and illuminated by the others. And together, they provide a surprisingly coherent portrait of an experience modern theory has failed altogether to illuminate. As a backdrop to this summary I refer the reader to the illustration of the proposed polar configuration (more accurately, a significant phase in the evolution of the configuration), presented on page 4. For it is this concrete image which, in the pages of this monthly symposium, I shall attempt to demonstrate as the universal source of myth and symbol. Illustrated here is the appearance of the proposed configuration at Midnight, presenting an image recorded in myths and symbols around the world ...
224. Sagan's first problem: The ejection of Venus by Jupiter (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... with the theory that the earth was born of the moon, despite its smallness. This confuses the argument. "The origin of the planets and their satellites remains unsolved. The theories not only contradict one another, but each of them bears within itself its own contradictions. If the sun had been unattended by planets, its origin and evolution would have presented no difficulty." ' The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Macropedia, (London 1982), Vol. 16, p. 1032, states explicitly, "It should be emphasized that no theory of the origin of the solar system has yet won general acceptance. All involve highly improbable assumptions. But the difficulty is in trying ...
225. Homo Schizo Meets God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... compulsive sublimated recapitulations of the experience. Further, therapy of such a condition (control over it, that is) was exceedingly difficult, whether of the individual or of the collectivity. More difficult was the establishment of the genetic basis of human nature. Here Deg found his way, first by undermining the case for gradualist darwinian and anthropological evolution, and second by discovering uniquely human variances in current research on the structure and operation of the central nervous system. He came to attribute humanness to a brief glitch in the stimulus-response system, which I mentioned above. How he visualized it becomes crudely clear in a note from his files, entitled "Making a Chimp Talk: a ...

227. The Thunderbolt in Myth and Symbol [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... conference is that of the far-famed caduceus. Another is the so-called "winged disk" and its many variants in the ancient world. Since these highly unusual forms answer to nothing in nature as we know it today, they must be included among the acid tests of the model. But for now I must simply state the punchline- The violent evolution of the planetary configuration, recorded on papyrus, clay, and stone, finds direct verification in the evolution of plasma discharge configurations in the laboratory. The Mythical "Chain of Arrows" This surprising picture emerged only in the past year. In my earlier reconstruction, I had followed the connections between an undulating, upward-spiraling, serpentine form ...
228. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... generally identified with the planet Venus. Even Ishtar, however, becomes identified with the star Sirius in the Babylonian astronomical lists, and thus it would not be out of character were Clube and Napier to announce in some future book that a Sirius-related event was responsible for great cataclysms during the second millennium B.C . (16) Cultural Evolution and Planetary Identification The evolution and peregrinations of individual religious cults must also be taken into account when investigating the ancient's planetary identifications. It is known, for example, that Marduk replaced Enlil in the religious reforms initiated by Hammarabi upon the latter's assumption of power in Babylon. (17) In accordance with this reform Marduk was allotted the ...
229. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... would have us believe, or merely a product of their capacity for self-delusion? Steven set up two opposing models for the history of life, which differed vastly in their timescales. If the biblical account of creation is correct, then time is to be considered on a scale of thousands of years but if the atheistic, Darwinian account of evolution is correct, the time is to be considered on a scale of millions of years. If one is correct, then the other must be myth. He then proceeded to consider various pieces of evidence against the vast timescale for Darwinian evolution and came to the conclusion that the case for evolution of man has so little substance that it ...
230. BOOK REVIEWS [Journals] [Aeon]
... seriously questioning received opinion, a counter-revolution is being mounted to "save the phenomenon" by an ultra-conservative public relations effort to instill the idea of a Big Bang into every available braincell of our impressionable students, as well as that of the general populace itself. This effort is déjà vu of the last half of the 19th century when Darwinian evolution was being foisted onto an unsuspecting and intellectually impoverished world. In today's version, mental games are being currently being played out in a public relations ploy to find another, more precise term to replace the epithet "Big Bang" with something even more catchy. Of course, this won't happen since George Gamow's humorous appellation of 1946 has ...
