... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 4 (Spring 1977) Home | Issue Contents Focus OVERSEAS CATASTROPHIST GEOLOGY, c/o J.B . Kloosterman, Caixa Postal 41.003, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. "A magazine . . . dedicated to the study of discontinuities in Earth history." An extract from the opening statement gives the newcomer's viewpoint: "We can, of course, by retrograde extrapolation over millions of years, relate geological features to the cumulative effects of now active small-scale agents such as the raindrop and the sandgrain. Without this method of research geology cannot exist. But to state that it is the only one we are allowed to ...
602. Epilogue [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents Epilogue This book will conclude without a chapter given over to the explosion of the Moon from Earth. In Chaos and Creation and Solaria Binaria lunagenesis is treated more directly, whereas here we have mentioned at many points its relevance to geological processes. Lunagenesis was the paramount holospheric event. No major geological process can be understood without a theory of the origins of the Pacific Basin. The reader can, if so minded, judge the plausibility and the consistency of the theory by tracing it with the help of the Index. Geology has not been able fully to confront lunar fission because of its notions ...
603. Meteoritic Impacts And Radioactivity [Books]
... , rocks are crushed and fractured to a great depth and distance. This must also have facilitated escape of the intermediate isotopes. The slip of the Earth's crust must have raised the temperature of rocks to values sufficient to allow the escape of intermediate products of the radio-active chains, and we have seen that Shaw mentions that `there is much geological evidence' that folding includes `extensive re-fusion of thousands of cubic miles of rock'. Many `geosynclinal processes' to which Shaw alludes may perfectly well be the result of the slip of the crust after meteoritic impact. We may reasonably assume that large sections of the lithosphere have experienced re-fusion and intense reheating as a. result of ...
604. Lakes Of The Great Basin And The End Of The Ice Age. Ch.10 Thirty-five Centuries Ago (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... And The End Of The Ice Age The Sierra Nevada chain rises between the Great Basin to the east and the Pacific, cutting off the drainage to the ocean. Abert and Summer lakes in southern Oregon have no outlets. They are regarded as remnants of a once large glacial lake, Chewaucan. W. van Winkle of the United States Geological Survey investigated the saline content of these two lakes and wrote: "A conservative estimate of the age of Summer and Abert Lakes, based on their concentration and area, the composition of the influent waters, and the rate of evaporation, is 4 000 years."1 If this conclusion is correct, the post-glacial epoch is no ...
605. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Understanding Enzymes (1981) and of over thirty research papers concerned with inherited disorders. Currently, he is Principal Lecturer in Biochemistry at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham. Although it remains probable that natural selection is a major evolutionary mechanism, it no longer seems likely that evolution proceeds in an even-paced manner. Species tend to appear rapidly, by geological standards, and may eventually disappear equally abruptly, showing few morphological changes in between. On occasions, mass extinctions of species have taken place, to be followed by the rapid appearances of new species to fill vacant ecological niches. Astronomical evidence suggests that at least some mass extinctions are likely to have resulted from the impacts of comets or ...
606. The End. Ch.16 The End (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... and ashes, and lava. Long before the crowd of witnesses finished filing by, we knew that we would not be able to evade the conclusion that global catastrophes have shaken this world of ours. I have not included here the testimony of ancient literary sources or of folklore. Shall I be confronted with the argument that, though the geological and archaeological records speak for catastrophic occurrences in the past, the absence of human testimony contradicts this interpretation of the geological record of recent date? Is not Worlds in Collision a book of human evidence? And was not this testimony disputed because first of all, of a presumed conflict with the findings of geology? Although no references to ...
607. The Inexact Science of Radiometric Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ROY MACKINNON was educated at Kelvinside Academy (Glasgow) and Glasgow University, and is a Member of the Institute for Cultural Research. He now holds a financial post in the City of London. Copyright (c ) 1977 R. D. MacKinnon The material presented in "Earth in Upheaval" by Immanuel Velikovsky indicates that there exists substantial geological evidence to support the contention that the Earth repeatedly experienced global catastrophes, some of which may have been witnessed in geologically recent times by man and recorded in his myths and legends. It is an implicit consequence of this evidence that some events commonly surmised to have required millions of years within the framework of uniformitarian suppositions must now be considered ...
... The Ice Age The Abluvial Period The Pluvial Period The Formation of Mineral Deposits The Satellites and Life on our Earth The Breakdown of the Satellite The Migrations of the Anchorage Bollard Evidences of Earlier Satellites The Continental Tables The Capture of Luna Chapter XI The Satellites and Life on our Earth It follows from what has so far been said that all the geological activity of all the satellites of our planet has been very similar. Each geological system contains sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and volcanic rocks. The first mentioned have been built up, with the help of water, out of the detritus of material of the preceding system. If they contain little or no binding substance of a calcareous ...
609. Earthquake Lights (U.S. Geological Survey News Release) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 2 No. 2 (Dec 1977) Home | Issue Contents U.S . Geological Survey News Release (703) 860-7444 / Frank Forrester July 3, 1977 Earthquake Lights Earthquake lights - luminous phenomena that have been observed to occur at the time of some earthquakes - are worthy of additional scientific investigation, according to a U.S . Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, scientist John S. Derr, a geophysicist at the USGS Denver, Colo., field center, said there are difficulties in trying to explain these phenomena because very few scientists have worked on the question of earthquake lights. "The reason," he said ...
610. A Life's Work? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1994 (Vol XVI) (Oct 1995) Home | Issue Contents A Life's Work?work reviewed: Scientific Prehistory by Melvin A. Cook (the sequel to Prehistory and Earth Models) Cook's 1966 book Prehistory and Earth Models set out radical and challenging ideas about radioactive dating, ice ages, continental drift, geology and evolution, combining original thinking with thorough scientific analysis. Prehistory and Earth Models was only made available on a small print run, with few copies ever reaching the general book trade, and as a result copies are very hard to find. It was reviewed in C & C Workshop 1988:1 . Scientific Prehistory is potentially even ...
