... there would be no oxygen available to form in the atmosphere. Sagan tells us Velikovsky is confused, but I think it is Sagan who has the problem. The thesis Velikovsky proposed on page 16 respecting atmospheric oxygen is neither idiosyncratic nor unknown to science. Robert H. Dott, Jr. and Roger L. Batten in their book, Evolution of the Earth, discuss this very same problem wherein they say, "The greatest single problem facing any hypothesis of atmospheric development is to explain the abundance of free oxygen... It has long been assumed that the early atmosphere did not have free oxygen..." 2 Sagan has informed us that oxygen originated in the ...
272. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... air currents are sun-born, and with the birth of sun- power on the earth and in the air all these phenomena sprang into existence; veritable "Earth-gods" and "evil spirits", forever in conflict. A little reflection on canopy progression brings all these scenes before us. A celestial conflict is the legitimate and inevitable result of the evolution and fading of canopies. In that process suns are born and all the energies of earth sea and sky are awakened. Thus we see how it transpired that when the gods of a heaven close to the earth, having given birth to a sun and having enthroned it on high, discord and confusion began; and how that sun ...
273. Proof of A Celestial Counterforce to Gravity [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... collapse still farther toward the center. Ivan King, one of Velikovsky's critics, outlined this concept succinctly: Although globular clusters are obviously long lived, they are not immutable. Slowly, but steadily, stars evaporate [escape] from a cluster as they reach the escape velocity. A theory [of gravity] that adequately predicts the resulting evolution of the cluster is basically simple, but many of the details have remained elusive. The binding energy of a cluster [to hold it together] is really an energy deficit: the energy it would take to accelerate all the stars to their escape velocity and tear the cluster apart. To reach escape velocity, a star must acquire ...

275. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 8 ) The Earth, Venus and Mars are supposed to have had abundant water on their surfaces sometime in the early history of the solar system, however, based on the scientific understanding of the Continuously Habitable Zone, this is fundamentally impossible. The point that Ellenberger missed and which Michael H. Hart explains is that our knowledge of the evolution of solar luminosity places the center of the habitable zone as moving outward from the Sun. (9 ) Thus, the belt in which water could exist on a planet, specially the inner planets, is different for different planets at different periods. If Venus, Earth and Mars had always been in their present orbits, Venus would ...
... , that the primeval ocean invested the whole planet long after it became the habitation of living beings ; and thus he was inclined to assert the priority of the types of marine animals to those of the terrestrial, so as to fancy, for example, that the testacea of the ocean existed first, until some of them, by gradual evolution, were improved into those inhabiting the land. These speculative views had already been, in a great degree, anticipated by Demaillet in his Telliamed, and by several modern writers ; so that the tables were completely turned on the philosophers of antiquity, with whom it was a received maxim, that created things were always most perfect when ...

... and UFO Report. He presently makes his home in Vancouver and is preparing several long-range major works on cosmic catastrophism and related subjects. Bennison Gray (Ph.D ., Univ. of Southern California); The Drs. Gray are an independent husband-and-wife team specializing in heretical scholarship ranging from linguistics to biology. Their most recent book, Evolution and the Revolution that Faded: The Semiotics of Taxonomy (in press) analyzes both fields as manifestations of the problem of evolution. Their writing has appeared in numerous scholarly publications. Ken D. Moss; Mr. Moss studied Psychology and Sociology at the University of British Columbia and has published in The Ubyssey. He presently makes his ...
278. The Velikovskian Upheaval: A Temporocentric Challenge [Journals] [Kronos]
... plant life finds escape; entire species vanish overnight, and whole peoples and civilizations succumb in the instant. Nonetheless, out of the quickness of death comes life, for the chemical reactions, intense electrical charges, radiation, and immense heat generate mutations thereby introducing entirely new species while simultaneously wiping out the old. In short, the very evolution of life itself cannot be considered purely earth-bound; new forms do not- and cannot- emerge out of minute alterations stretching over millions of years as a consequence, according to Darwinians, of natural selection resulting out of the competition to survive and adapt upon Earth. (1 ) The revolutionary impact of mutation through cataclysmic upheavals dispenses with the principle ...
279. The Rebirth of Nature [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... can ever fall into it." He concluded that gravitational forces were a direct expression of God's will: "There exists an infinite and omnipresent spirit in which matter is moved according to mathematical laws." Sheldrake, as in The Presence of the Past, discusses the limitations of the reductionist neo-Darwinian mechanisms which have been proposed to explain biological evolution, advocating instead a more holistic approach. He is, of course, not alone in this, but his fine general account is of necessity distorted to accommodate his hypothesis of formative causation, which holds that the way a process happens is influenced by morphic fields: these are set up the first time the process occurs and are reinforced ...
280. The Cause Of The Ice Ages. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of upheaval and devastation have presented themselves to explorers, and almost every new cave opened, mountain thrust explored, undersea canyon investigated, has consistently disclosed the same picture of violence and desolation. Under the weight of this evidence two great theories of the nineteenth century have become more and more strained: the theory of uniformity and the theory of evolution built upon it. The other fundamental teaching originating in the nineteenth century-the theory of ice ages has been loaded more and more heavily with the responsibility for the geological facts revealed; however, the cause of the ice ages remained a much-discussed and never agreed-upon subject. The origin of the glacial periods was sought "on the earth below and ...
