... Jupiter, with the preponderance of opinion favoring the latter theory.(2 ) Moore and Hunt write as follows: Until relatively recently asteroids were merely considered to be the "dregs" of the Solar System, the debris of a former planet, but it has come to be realized that they may hold important clues to the origin and evolution of the planetary system as a whole. It is thought that the asteroids were planetesimals just like any others growing elsewhere in the solar nebula . . . Before they could form into planets, however, their orbits were perturbed, becoming tilted and elongated. This resulted in fragmentation and disruption rather than coalescence. They are probably still colliding ...
902. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... of a spectacular cometary cataclysm in the middle of the second millenium BCE, although they reject Velikovsky's identification of the cometary visitant with Venus. In a recent essay the authors offered the following observation on the current status of cometary research: "There can be little doubt that an appreciation of the possible role of comet-induced catastrophism in the history and evolution of the Earth has now revolutionized our understanding of the status of comets and opened up new and previously unsuspected lines of research relating to cometary cosmogony." (8 ) In light of these recent developments it may be of some interest to review the ancient mythology of the comet. Is it possible, as Velikovsky maintained, that the ...
903. The Sun's Galactic Journey and Absolute Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the formation of a solar-type star and planets from a cloud of gases and cosmic dust takes on the order of several hundreds of millions of years. After accretion, an Earth-like planet supposedly takes another one or two thousand million years (1-2 gigayears or => aeons) to develop a stable lithosphere, which when formed allows the much slower evolution of a viable biosphere from the materials and energy available at the planetary surface (Oparin). To us, these processes seem too slow and rely too much upon random occurrences to be viable. However, the processes forming stars and planets and leading to living things may proceed much more rapidly. Our cosmogony employs electrical cavities, charges ...
904. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... those who know about these things, the crinoid is a member of the subclass Inadunata of the sea lilies). Dr Roux commented that these living specimens had apparently evaded detection by inhabiting the deep waters - just as is the case with the coelacanth. This discovery indicates something else about the deep sea environment; it is one in which evolution can "stand still".

906. Quantalism And Prehistory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 4 (1997) Home | Issue Contents Quantalism And Prehistory Roger W. Wescott What is "quantalism"? Quantalism is my abridgement of George Gaylord Simpson's phrase "quantum evolution." Substantively, it has two components. The first of these is catastrophism, which needs no definition for Velikovskians or for Clubeans. SALTATIONISM The second is saltationism, a term and concept originated by Thomas Henry Huxley. Today, Huxley is remembered by many readers primarily as "Darwin's bulldog," the articulate spokesman for evolutionists in their debates with anti-evolutionary writers and lecturers. Yet Huxley differed from Charles Darwin and from Darwin's geological mentor, Charles Lyell, both ...
907. Beyond the Mountains of Darkness. The Search for the Ten Lost Tribes [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 4 (Summer 1982) "Evolution, Extinction, and Catastrophism" Home | Issue Contents Beyond the Mountains of Darkness. The Search for the Ten Lost Tribes Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright © 1982 by Elisheva Velikovsky Editor's Note: This essay was extracted from Velikovsky's forthcoming book The Assyrian Conquest which is Vol. II of the Ages in Chaos series. It was written between the mid 1950s and mid-60s. A superb book on the Khazars which would serve as an excellent pendant to the present article is Arthur Koestler's The Thirteenth Tribe (N . Y., 1976). - LMG The following short discourse is not a part of the chronological ...
908. The Relevance Of The Velikovsky Scenario To The Homeric Question [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , one or two generations after the Trojan War, if there was one, or if there was only one-to half a millennium later. In Velikovsky's view, where the half millennium in question does not exist, and the Trojan War occurred in the last half of the eighth or early in the seventh century,1 the time of the evolution or composition of the Odyssey and Iliad must be far more limited. On the one scheme, it seems fantastically extended; on the other, almost embarrassingly restricted. Someone might ask why one should, for a moment, take seriously the crazy view that there was no Dark Age; but rather several decades of confusion, stampede of ...

910. The Creation of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... Creation of Man From the earliest ages man has wondered how the universe round him came into being. He did not take the phenomena of the world for granted; he refused to believe that things are as they are, because they are; he had, from the dawn of his humanity, a clear conception of growth, creation, evolution. Man's conception of the creation of the physical world has been treated at large in an earlier chapter. It is enough to repeat that there are two main branches of the lore of the coming into existence of our Earth: the mythical creation, in which it is fashioned out of the body of a vanquished cosmic monster, and ...
