... enormous calderas, plateau basalts, ice ages, alpine nappes, bone breccias, the sudden appearance of diversified life at the close of the Precambrian, the abrupt extinction of dinosaurs and ammonites, and so on. In a uniformitarian system the sedimentological and paleontological records are contradictory; if we assume uninterrupted sedimentation, we have to accept catastrophes in evolution; if we do not accept catastrophes in evolution we have to postulate major gaps in the sedimentary record. We can of course, by retrograde extrapolation over millions of years, relate geological features to the cumulative effects of now active small-scale agents such as the raindrop and the sandgrain. Without this method of research geology cannot exist. But ...

293. Conferences [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Issue Contents Conferences Third International Conference on Large Meteorite www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/largeimpacts2003/ 5-7 August 2003, Nördlingen, Germany. The conference will bring together researchers working on a wide range of aspects of impact cratering with emphasis on large terrestrial and planetary impact structures and the ways in which they influenced planet formation and evolution. Of special interest are new observations and interpretations obtained from studies of the three very large terrestrial structures - Chicxulub, Sudbury, and Vredefort. Contributions dealing with the following topics are invited: * Impacts and Earth evolution * Impact structures and climate change * Role of target volatiles * Formation of melt sheets, melt breccias, and impact ...
294. A Critical Re-appraisal of the Book of Genesis, Part Two [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Biblical scholarship Professor Yahuda was not only prepared to be numbered amongst those few daring scholars who did break the bonds of the stifling "official view" of representative Egyptologists, but he was also qualified to do so. He was one of those extremely rare Egyptologists who had a masterful knowledge of classical Hebrew and the Bible as well. The Evolution of the Hebrew Language Professor Yahuda begins by examining the origins of the Hebrew language and then traces its growth through various stages to the point at which it was perfected as a literary language. He says that while modern Biblical scholars unconditionally accept the identity of the Hebrew language with Canaanite (Canaan being the land of the sojournings of Abraham ...

... Survey. He was liberally educated at Yale University and spent years in field work thereafter. According to the historian Bancroft, he "had acquired a reputation and a position second to no scientist in America." When he returned to lecture at the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale in 1877, he argued against the prevailing opinions in geology and evolution, insisting on the basis of his experiences and visions as a surveyor that the Earth had been lately devastated. The belief in catastrophism, he said, in surprising pre-Jungian language, was a true grasp of what had happened to the World. "Catastrophism is therefore the survival of a terrible impression burned in upon the very substance of ...

... ." For which doctrines when the Chaldeans and other people of Mesopotamia raised a tumult against him, he thought fit to leave that country; and at the command, and by the assistance of God, he came and lived in the land of Canaan."(4 ) Mutations Velikovsky contends that the main cause for mutations that fuelled evolution was radioactivity, consequent upon the Solar System's periodic disruption.(5 ) Mutations are not explicitly mentioned in the Scriptures, but they are by Josephus. During the forty years of wandering following the Exodus from Egypt, plagues would come that caused mutations to both man and other life forms. These plagues had occurred periodically in the past ...

... wading, and their bodies are covered with sediment. The sediment must quickly cover the animals, and this is most possible when the ground subsides. Therefore Darwin postulated such subsidence of the sea bottom as a condition for the formation of fossils. On the other hand, the subsidence or emergence of the ground in the theory of uniformity or evolution is a very slow process, longer by far than the time necessary for a cadaver to disintegrate in water. The giant reptiles are supposed to have lived as amphibians on land and in the shallow sea-because of the numerous fossil remains in sedimentary rock. However, no signs of adaptation for aquatic life are found in their skeletons. The ...
299. Radiation and the Paleontological Record - The Stroboscopic Model [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... that cosmic radiation is not constant but reaches peaks during major solar flares and possibly also as the Earth's path crosses radiation clouds originating from a nearby Supernova. On the other hand the currently popular hypothesis sees the Earth's magnetic field collapse from time to time. Figure 1. A schematic view of the Stroboscopic Model. Cosmic radiation will affect the evolution of terrestrial life, but only if a radiation peak coincides with a magnetic window. Current knowledge does not permit a quantitative evaluation of this model. Rare events are elusive'. The field then rebuilds to former strength with a polaritv which may, with equal probability, be either normal or reversed. This then implies that on the ...

... of human nature will be discussed (see also Table 6). The prevailing theory among scientists conjectures that a sequence of chance chemical combinations occurring over time produces the "self-replicating molecule" deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). For the moment we pursue this idea of chance chemical combinations. In Solaria Binaria, the sac is the vat of chemical evolution. Its gases are hydrogen-rich but contain, by inheritance from the body of Super Sun, all simple ingredients found in life forms. The energy sources which catalyze the process are ultraviolet radiation, electric discharges (lightning bolts), and ionizing particles (from cosmic rays or radioactivity). Using a variety of gaseous mixtures, energy sources ...
