... been demonstrated conclusively that the various causal explanations of evolution, usually designated as Lamarckism, are not valid."(4 ) In the past several decades scholars have begun to reassess Lamarck's contribution to evolutionary thought and in the process great gains have been made towards separating fact from fiction as regards the development and significance of his theories. The genesis of Lamarck's ideas on evolution can be traced to the final years of the 18th century, during which time Lamarck was a participant in the vital intellectual milieu which characterized Paris at the time. Through something of an accident Lamarck had been appointed the head of the invertebrate department of the famous Museum d'Histoire Naturelle Institute in 1793, at the ...
662. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for at least 2000 years [48]. The importance of these sites lies in their number and their location. Before their destruction, the Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah are described as being a part of a coalition of five cities located in the Dead Sea area, referred to as the Cities of the Plain. The other three cities (Genesis 14:2 ) are named as Admah, Zeboiim and "Bela (which is Zoar)". An intriguing item of information is that Safi is identified as Zoar on a mosaic map on the floor of a 6th century AD Byzantine church a short distance from the sites. The excavators feel that there is a possibility that two ...
663. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... PARTNERS IN THE 2nd MILLENNIUM REAL-TIME DATES DERIVED FROM HERODOTUS AND LATER (post -650) BIBLICAL DATES "The date of Hammurabi is the keystone of the chronology of the second and third millennia B.C . "( Roux, 1980, p. 43). His approximate date was derived from the connection of Amraphel king of Shinar (Genesis, 14, 1 and 9) with Abraham. Amraphel was for a long time identified with Hammurabi. First, chronologists abandoned Abraham as unhistorical but kept his birthdate as historical date of Amraphel=Hammurabi. Eventually, the identification of Amraphel with Hammurabi was also dropped but the latter's date derived from the Amraphel-Abraham connection was kept until today ...

665. Darwinian Diary, part I (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... equal time with evolution in the school curricula of several states of America. The section is an expanded version of the paper by the same author (entitled "Creation science: the ultimate fraud") included in Darwin up to Date. Creation science is of course an attempt to provide scientific backing for a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis show that each species was created intact at the beginning of time a few thousand years ago. Leaving aside such problems as the meaning of the statement that the world was created in seven 24-hour days when the Sun did not exist until the fourth day, creation science still runs into enormous difficulties in explaining the fossil record. Its adherents ...

667. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Five [Books]
... classic example of fiery divine judgement. It would probably therefore be wrong to set Ps.11:6 , Ps.21:9 , Ps.97~3 & Ps.140:10 as memories' of Sodom and Gomorrah. Rather, the Psalm references and the account of the destruction of the cities in the book of Genesis are both the products of the same literary tradition. In much the same way, even if V's scenario had happened, it would not necessarily follow that the above cited Psalms (two of which V quotes) were based on it, and nor could it be said that V's scenario was the driving force behind the fire & brimstone ...
668. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... to occur in its initial form in the mind of a single individual. (54) In mid-April, at his fifth-floor apartment at 5 Riverside Drive, Velikovsky was visited by a European rabbinical scholar named Gruenbaum. The conversation somehow turned to the hills of coagulated lava that lay along the Jordan river. Velikovsky pointed out that, according to Genesis, the Dead Sea had been a plain, the valley of Siddim, at the time of Abraham. He wondered what sort of geological catastrophe had transformed it into a lake by the time of the Exodus, just a few generations later. He also recalled that on his fortieth birthday, five years earlier, his father had given ...
669. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology. Part One: Radiometric Chronometry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... truth' lies before them, simply stated and readily evident: to learn of it all they must do is to see' it there." The experience of the Zanani, though likely only fiction, has a moral from which we can benefit. When we assume isotopic ratios are specific, or were specific, at the moment of genesis (whether cosmically, planetary, or environmentally), we need assurance of that specificity before we can use with confidence the present isotopic ratios for chronometry, thermometry, or for any other form of study. Such evidence as exists seems negative or is lacking. Radiocarbon dates, as was noted above, seem to be most vulnerable to ...
