... of view. It introduced to our modern generation, bored long since with the endless small accretions of scientific truth, the violence and catastrophism in world events which had so impressed our forefathers. Eiseley's book was written to combat the reemergence of the discarded concept of catastrophic interruptions in history that was the teaching of the founders of the sciences of geology and paleontology in the early nineteenth century. But they, Murchison and Sedgwick and Bucldand, were not among those who subscribed to the idea of Creation in the year 4004 before the present era: they had actually identified and named the Silurian and the Devonian and the Permian rocks and with them the periods so classified, the great divisions ...
622. Leonardo da Vinci: Rocks, Fossils, and Time [Journals] [Kronos]
... but lacked proper systematisation. His interests encompassed a vast number of areas: mathematics (geometry), astronomy, cosmology, the natural elements, physics (magnetism, heat, hydraulics, acoustics, statics, dynamics, aerodynamics, optics, light, and colour), machines and weaponry, civil and military engineering, architecture, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, geography, map-making, botany and zoology, agriculture, internal and external anatomy, medicine, psychology, palmistry, drawing, painting, sculpturing, philosophy, horology, music, writing fables, and the theatre (especially the planning of court masquerades and city pageants). He did reject astrology, alchemy and superstition. ...
623. Benoît De Maillet (1656-1738): A Forerunner of the Theory of the Desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:2 (Feb 2000) Home | Issue Contents Benoît De Maillet (1656-1738): A Forerunner of the Theory of the Desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea by Cándido Manuel García Cruz Candido Manuel Garcia Cruz was born in Sidi Ifni (Morocco) in 1952 and is a teacher of biology and geology. He has published several articles about the history of earth sciences. He has also translated works on continental drift and plate tectonics and the theory of the earth, by James Hutton (1785) into Spanish. He is working on a PhD. Summary This paper analyses the basic ideas of the fall in sea-level theory of Benoît de ...
624. Myth and Method [Journals] [SIS Review]
... about the composition of the Solar System and the properties of its members. In the derivation of such conclusions and comparison of them with the data of planetary exploration we have one valid approach to the testing of his theories. Another approach looks to the earth sciences. As William Mullen has observed (Pensée I, p.33), geology has a unique position in the development of Velikovskian theory. To utilise this approach it is necessary to devise and apply criteria for recognising and characterising large-scale catastrophic geological events from references in cosmogonic texts. It is also necessary to establish synchronisms between Velikovsky's and conventional historical geology. Velikovsky's lack of explicitness about his historical geology is probably to be ...
625. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... discovery provided a classic example of a successful scientific prediction- the ultimate test of any theory. The first half of this book is a comparatively low-key discussion of the Earth's place in the Galaxy, the nature of comets, and the possible role of cometary impacts in causing mass extinctions of life on Earth, triggering ice ages, and producing geological changes such as reversals of the Earth's magnetic field. But having established their credentials and their theme, Clube and Napier then proceed to the heart of the matter. The authors argue that in recent prehistory a major comet, or comets, was deflected into the inner part of the Solar System and made many passes around the Sun before ...
626. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 3 No. 2 (Dec 1978) Home | Issue Contents Science Frontiers 1977-1978 William R. Corliss Compiler of The Sourcebooks of Unusual Facts Box 107, Glen Arm MD 21057, USA. [The comments between brackets and signed Ed. are by W.R .C .] GEOLOGY NEW ENGLAND SEAMOUNTS ONCE NEAR SURFACE. Exploration of the New England Seamount chain by the research submarine Alvin confirmed that some of these peaks, now all a kilometer or more below the surface, were once at or above the surface of the ocean. This undersea mountain chain contains more than 30 major peaks and stretches 1,600 miles southeast from the New ...
627. Cataclysmic Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... miniature catastrophe. In order for a simultaneous mutation of many characteristics to occur, with a new species as a resultant, a radiation shower of terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin must take place. Therefore we are led to the belief that evolution is a process initiated in catastrophes. Numerous catastrophes or bursts of effective radiation must have taken place in the geological past in order to change so radically the living forms on earth, as the record of fossils embedded in lava and sediment bears witness. How would this understanding of evolution meet the facts, and especially those facts that always appeared to be in discord with the theory of natural selection? The fact that some organisms, like foraminifera survived ...
628. Earth In Upheaval. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Earth In Upheaval WHEN Worlds in Collision was published, numerous scientists repeatedly claimed that events of such magnitude and at such comparatively recent dates must have left vestiges not only in folklore, but even more so in geology and archaeology.(1 ) Actually in the Epilogue to Worlds in Collision I wrote: "Geological, paleontologi-cal and anthropological material related to the problem of cosmic catastrophes is vast and may give a complete picture of past events no less than historical material." My new book, Earth in Upheaval, published in 1955, was a collection of this material, where I ...

630. The Exo-Synchronous Molecular Evolutionary Clock [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , an episode which annihilated ten percent of life would cause no fewer DNA substitutions in the survivors' offspring than an episode which destroyed 99%. The large majority of these substitutions would be neutral. Some of the substitutions would permeate whole species in future generations, become fixed and thus continue the progression of the molecular clock effect. The geological record certainly attests to episodes having differences in the magnitude of destruction. Huge destruction has been attributed for the state of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary layer of 65 million years ago [30,31], and possibly destruction was of the same magnitude in 32 million year cycles [32]. But I agree here with Gillespie, who would ...
