... were the movement and its meaning among the Hebrews that that people believed it was the voice of the Most High which declared, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son", and finally set him upon his Right Hand which was at the pole. It was the great oath made good, when a canopy form completed its spectacular evolution arid finished its career. As the will of Heaven made plain to all people who watched it from the start to the finish. From Alpha to Omega- from the South to the North. "Out of Egypt have I called my Son" was the declaration of skies, heard all around the earth thousands of years before the ...

Chapter 5 The Erratic Descent of Man Chapter 6 Towards a New Evolutionary Synthesis Chapter 1 The Context of Evolution: The Earth and its Surroundings Trevor Palmer The Solar System The Solar System in which we live shows very little evidence of having been at peace with itself since its formation. It is generally believed that its components began to coalesce from a spinning disc of gas and dust some 4,600 Myr (million years ...
63. Evolution from Space [Articles]
... SIS Meeting 24th March 1984 Afternoon Session Evolution from Space Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe Interdisciplinary Evidence Trevor Palmer: This morning we were discussing the implications of catastrophism in historical times; this afternoon we are going to look at a much wider timescale, to deal with the origin and evolution of life on this planet. It is generally assumed that life first appeared on Earth perhaps 3.9 billion years ago as a result of chemical evolution producing complex structures from simple starting materials. However, the arguments to support this are largely speculation following a pattern. The arguments may go: if life arose on Earth from simple chemical materials, then it must have happened something like this.. ...

If slip of the lithosphere and shift of the polar axis have taken place as a result of impacts by giant meteorites, the latitude of most points of our planet may have changed many times. Slip and shift are phenomena which occurred suddenly and had a global character, thus affecting the whole Earth. The inescapable conclusion is ...
65. Neocatastrophism? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... influxes of high-energy cosmic radiation. 1. Introduction D.L . Stepanov (1959a) has bestowed on me the somewhat doubtful honour of describing me as the "most important and consistent spokesman of the idea of neocatastrophism in contemporary palaeontology", By neocatastrophism in the sphere of palaeontology he understands the opinion expressed by me that in the geological evolution of organisms, and in the animal kingdom in particular, there have been turning points, or faunal discontinuities,of profound importance that are characterized by a widespread, more or less simultaneous extinction of numerous stocks and an emergence of new ones or blossoming out of other stocks. This conception is, of course, not new, nor ...

McCanney PREFACE TO PART II Part I (KRONOS IX:1 , Fall 1983, pp. 17-39) presented critiques of the ice ball comet model (IBCM) and nebular collapse theory of the origin of the solar system (OSS) and argued that these "accepted" theories fall short of explaining numerous observed phenomena. Part I also introduced a new theory for comet behavior and solar system evolution based on ...

68. The Cautious Revolutionary [Journals] [SIS Review]
... His essays, collectively entitled "This View of Life", are intended to illuminate and examine all aspects of evolutionary theory. There are several recurring themes. One of these is the argument that imperfections such as the panda's thumb, which is not really a thumb at all but an enlargement of the radial sesamoid bone, are evidence of evolution by natural selection, since a more directed evolutionary mechanism would not result in mistakes' of this sort. Another theme is a plea for a pluralist approach to evolution: Gould has a high regard for Charles Darwin, and points out that he was far more of a pluralist than many of his followers, who have tried to argue ...
69. Shattering The Myths Of Darwinism by Richard Milton (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Rochester, Vermont, 1997, 308 pages (originally published as Facts of Life, Corgi Books, London, 1993) Reviewer: Roger W. Wescott Milton's book is one of several that have been published in recent years challenging Darwinist evolutionism without advocating religious creationism. Among these are Darwin Retried by Norman Macbeth (1971), The Great Evolution Mystery by Gordon Rattray-Taylor (1983), Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton 1985), and Beyond Natural Selection by Robert Wesson (1991). Milton, indeed, cites Macbeth and Denton in support of his own arguments. Milton himself is a journalist and engineer as well as a decades-long member of The Geologists' ...

... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 4 (Summer 1982) "Evolution, Extinction, and Catastrophism" Home | Issue Contents How To Defuse A Feud Norman Macbeth This country has long been plagued by an acrimonious controversy between two large segments of the population. Evolution, if it is taught at all in high schools and colleges, is apt to be taught on the basis of textbooks that portray evolution and natural selection as demonstrable scientific facts. The creationists (supported by the Moral Majority) object to this situation, contending that equal time or balanced treatment should be given to their view that everything was created by divine powers. The evolutionists (supported by the American ...
