... ": From the almost total absence of fossil evidence relative to the origin of phyla, it follows that any explanation of the mechanism in the creative evolution of the fundamental structural plans [displayed in a given phylum] is heavily burdened with hypotheses. . .the lack of direct evidence leads to the formulation of pure conjectures as to the genesis of the phyla; we do not even have a basis to determine the extent to which these opinions are correct. (13) Fossils of the horse offer the most familiar "proof" of Neo-Darwinism to be found in the geological record. But this proves to be an illusion. Rifkin quotes remarks made by scholar Norman MacBeth on ...

483. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... of cringing or otherwise exhibiting a "hang-dog" attitude. The chief reason why some comparative psychologists deny the pathology of this behavior is that human conscience is widely regarded as an asset, and human loyalty as a virtue. But I concur with Arthur Koestler and others in seeing voluntary self-subordination to group authority as the indispensable enabling factor in the genesis of wars and other forms of punitive destruction. One of the most distinctive traits of our anxious and traumatized species is deceptiveness, which, not surprisingly, is most commonly expressed as prevarication. Since other species do not verbalize, their deceptions naturally take other forms. Although mammals exhibit no close analog of the "broken-wing ploy" by ...
484. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and so recorded in Exodus 6:16-20. Moses was the son of Armram, who was the son of Kohath, who was the son of Levi. Levi was among those who came into Egypt at Jacob's descent and Moses was 80 years old at the Exodus. On the other hand, the statements in Exodus 12:40 and Genesis 15:13,14 can be rationally interpreted to meet this evidence. The Hebrew writers of the New Testament era were very clear in recognizing that the 430 years included the time from Abraham's entrance into Canaan to the Exodus. [18] This is the basis on which the writer places the end of DB-I some 200 years earlier ...
485. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that a king of Egypt called Takelot carried the simple royal nomen of "servant"? That is stretching credibility just a little too far. c) I strongly disapprove of Sweeney's equation of Nimlot (Nemeret) with Nimrud. Does he not know that the name Nimrud was given to the site of ancient Kalhu (biblical Calah, see Genesis 10, 11 & 12) in the modern era? The site was christened Nimrud after the biblical Nimrod of Genesis 10, 8 & 9. I must ask Sweeney if he can come up with a name resembling Nimrud/ Nimrod from cuneiform sources. That way his argument might have a basis for discussion. d) Susa was ...
486. Catastrophism and Anthropology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the oldest ceremonies in the history of mankind, which has taken place in almost unchanged form for over 2000 years, is the annual commemoration by the Jews of the biblical Deluge. Once a year, the story of the great flood is retold in the reading of the weekly portion of the Torah Ele Toldoth Noach (i .e . Genesis 6:9 to 11:32). Whilst the Jews have remembered the Flood of Noah through writing and learning of history, other cultures have commemorated ancient floods in their myths [19] or, in some instances, have acted them out in imitative rituals. In his commentary on the biblical flood story, Westermann discusses various ...

... the general thesis will be hard to refute. Heinsohn, as we saw, blamed the distortion on attempts to reconcile Mesopotamian and Hebrew history, and he holds that his reconstruction will have profound consequences for Biblical history. It is here, however, that he may be wrong. Aside from the brief allusion to Ur of the Chaldees in Genesis (which Albright believed to be a late interpolation), there are no grounds for connecting the Hebrews with Mesopotamia at all. Rather, all the evidence would place their origins amongst the Aramaean tribes of northern Syria. Heinsohn would make Abraham the founder of Jewish monotheism, and would place him, on the evidence of late elements in ...
488. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... explains this by saying that the Israelites' houses were of a different construction to, and more resilient than, those of the Egyptians. So then, V's interpretation of the 10th plague requires three rather large ifs' to make it work, and even then : (i )The sense of firstborn, throughout Exodus, is that of Genesis 27:19, where firstborn' means literally eldest son & heir', (ii) The firstborn' of a prisoner in a dungeon (Ex.12:29) would hardly fit in with V's sense of chosen ones! (iii) If the selective killing of Egyptians were simply a matter of building construction, why ...

... less than 1 year," or "Depopulation by 70% of l+ species of 10 biological families in less than a year in an area of 1,000 km diameter." A number of phrasings may be formulated to denote physical catastrophe in biological terms as well as in terms of physical science. At the same time, genesis may be used as an indicator of quantavolution. Thus. "The simultaneous appearance of 3+ new species" will suffice to indicate a catastrophic innovation. "Simultaneous" means genesis within a century, or the smallest frame visible in the fossil record. An "appearance" should not prompt an assumption of missing transitional ages. Thus ...
490. Scientific Evidence for A Major World Catastrophe About 11,500 Years Ago: A Preliminary Selection [Journals] [SIS Review]
... if correct, signifies a sudden arrival in vast numbers of a veritable blizzard of metallic missiles. Interestingly, the oceanographer Petterson concluded that the nickel and iron in the brown Pacific clays were of meteoric origin [78], an idea broadly in agreement with others about the origins of other sea floor deposits [79, 80]. The genesis of such cosmic material, although an intriguing field for research, is a topic beyond the remit of this paper. We can, however, reach several conclusions from the data presented in this essay which do not wholly militate against the cosmic origin of the catastrophic events indicated by that data. Summary, Comparisons and Conclusions All data discussed ...
