... ' of events: "man is the measure of all things"- hardly. (Science) 8. "Do bacterias think?" Everything thinks, "Higher organisms, cf Homo Schizo, conduct more elaborate transactions with the environment (and internally) to achieve "the thinking effect". (Psychology Today) 9. Quick evolution: quantavolution of immunological systems, in re Ted Steele's studies. Functions of organisms have their own bio-time, time not absolute. Life-career (birth to death, etc.) is subjectively concept of the dominating ego, cf. Homo Schizo, momentarily in charge: the trapped soul? How free is it if it is in a ...
792. On Saturn At the North Pole [Journals] [Aeon]
... discussed.(7 ) Until Ashton comes up with something worthy of further consideration, I shall let those earlier remarks convey my overall position on the issue of flooding. The only other observation that I might offer here is that we should not be in any hurry to accept the conventional evolutionary time-table. Ashton repeatedly indicates his disagreement with cataclysmic evolution and his deep admiration for conventional uniformitarian evolution, presumably operative via natural selection. Those biases of his are not ones that I share, and I do not feel obliged to accept any of the tired old arguments that rest upon those highly-controversial presuppositions. Ashton tells us confidently that: The Saturnward tidal pull would in this way cause a ...
793. THE YOUTHFUL ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS [Journals] [Aeon]
... wave lengths "have established once again that there is no more than .1 or .2 percent water vapour in the lower atmosphere, and the true value is probably close to .01 [l /l00 of a] percent. The cloud tops are drier still."(6 ) But if Venus went through the same early evolution as the Earth billions of years ago, it should have, over time, out-gassed an ocean of water at least comparable to that of the Earth. Young and Young tell us that, "If one assumes that Venus once had as much water as the earth has now, it is necessary to explain how all but one part ...
... because they were primordial, but because they had delved farther into the scheme of the Infinite than some of our scientists of the present day. They worshipped Nature in the manner science must discover that Nature manifests itself, the meteor as the male, the volcano as the female, and the fruits of their unison being creation. THE EARTH'S EVOLUTION AND THE LAW OF MAGNETIC ATTRACTION 99. The function of a volcano is, I repeat, to produce. The evolution of the earth would appear to follow a system whereby at various periods great masses of molten rocks, stones, clay, sand, and chalk were deposited upon certain regions of the earth. Accepting the evidence of ...
... day that there is a considerable connection between volcanic eruptions in certain circumstances and locusts in flight. These mud ejections, containing all the elements of life, " the dust of the Adamah," may prove to have been that first divine spark from whence organic life is derived. Hence, in this case, it can be said that evolution was dependent upon the original chemical materia employed, as also upon the gaseous vapours of an atmosphere perhaps very highly surcharged with electricity and suited to the creation of life. To the womb of Mother Earth it may truly be said do we owe the organic existence in the first place of all forms of independent organisms, when that womb ...
... , after passing her youth, fails to bear children. cometary contact, direct or indirect, gives us the air we and the waters we drink, and on which we move from continent to continent. We must face, nevertheless, the menace of the seas, for in the survival of the fittest, when it comes to the evolution of a world, seem that mankind and the lesser creation of living re all in their degrees mere parasites. Our world will submit to its destined end whether mankind exists or not, and the thing applies to all, even to the race of ants and fleas. There may not be spiritual affinities which have another effect on the ...
797. The Problem Of The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the great enigmas of modern science is that of the extinction of the megafauna, or giant-sized animals, along with some smaller genera and several species of birds that are placed conventionally at the close of the Pleistocene/Ice Age 11,000 years ago. As Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-inventor with Darwin of the more acceptable form of evolution understood in the last century: "We live in a zoologically impoverished world, from which the largest and fiercest, and strangest forms have recently disappeared; and it is, no doubt, a much better world for us now that they are gone. Yet it is surely a marvelous fact, and one that has hardly been sufficiently ...

... all makes. Then populations of individuals "buy" some of these ideas and pass up others. The ideas that most individuals "buy" become "accepted theories" and constitute knowledge. Hence, scientific knowledge is not an ever-closer approximation of some unknown Truth. Rather, theories are selected (in the sense used in theories of biological evolution) by the environment in which they're proposed: by the level of awareness and understanding of the people using them, by the characteristics of that part of reality people currently live in, by the dynamics of social and cultural power. Instead of being built on a foundation, knowledge is composed of relationships. The metaphor of construction is ...

... " questions. As THOTH's circulation continues to grow, we will be adding new features to the newsletter, while developing a team of regular contributors. Since many new readers have signed on in recent months, I list below a few of the research-themes to be explored in THOTH- 1. Planetary catastrophes have had a far greater impact on the evolution of the solar system, the history of our earth, and the evolution of human consciousness than science has acknowledged. 2. Modern science has failed to understand the role of electricity in organizing the physical world, from the molecular, to the global, to the intergalactic. 3. Astronomy took a wrong turn when scientists came to ...
... and spent not a few long afternoons and evenings, often till midnight, discussing and debating with me the implications of my theories. We started at opposite points; the area of disagreement, as reflected in our correspondence, grew ever smaller, and though at his death there remained clearly defined points of disagreement, his stand then demonstrated the evolution of his opinion in the space of eighteen months. (3 ) Einstein, a young rebel against orthodoxy and then (because of his opposition to the indeterminacy factor inherent in Max Planck's quantum theory) an outcast beloved but unheeded, in his later years cultivated many characters on the fringe of conventionality. He wrote an introduction to the ...
