... In the Beginning: God II Hoerbiger's Theory None of the mythologists who have hitherto investigated into cosmogonic myths generally, or into the Creation' and related reports in the Book of Genesis specially, seems to have invoked the aid of a theory of the life history of our Earth. This is not surprising, though, for none of the geological, biological, or astrophysical hypotheses appeared even partly helpful. On the contrary, most of these hypotheses, or rather, their professors, were definitely antagonistic. I shall not here enter into a discussion, criticism, or refutation of the scientific theories which have offered to explain, or which have declined to explain, the various myths ...

683. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and not unwilling to follow through the ramifications of problems in their own disciplines into other areas of study. For its first two parts alone, John Dayton's Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man* (or "Who Was Sesostris I?") deserves to grace departmental libraries in a number of fields, including archaeology, art history, geology, chemistry and metallurgy. Beautifully produced and copiously illustrated, it satisfies an urgent need - mainly on the part of archaeologists - for a comprehensive work of reference on a number of important and interrelated topics. Its main themes - the composition of ancient glazes and pigments, techniques of application, the provenance and geology of the metals ( ...
684. The Atlantis Researches by Paul Dunbavin (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... shift, or change in obliquity. Hence, what we have is a watered down version of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision. Dunbavin is at pains to distance himself from Velikovsky and the 1950's book - out of hand. However, this should not put off readers of SIS publications as this book is very good – especially as far as the geology of NW Europe is concerned. It has extensive material on the drowning of the continental shelf around Britain and the origin of the North Sea. It places these events in perspective and it seems there is little likelihood that for instance, the Scillies could have been a single large island as late as the Roman era. He hardly mentions ...
... Wing McCarthyism Opinion Divided Einstein and Carbon-14 The Late 1950s The Conversion of de Grazia Five Years Countdown to Confrontation Velikovsky's Challenge Bibliography Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science The Conversion of de Grazia Already in 1961, in the second edition of the standard text on Coal: Its Formation and Composition, Wilfrid Francis hailed Velikovsky's work as "a comprehensive review of the geological literature of the last 170 years." Much later, in a letter to Pensee, Francis went further: after checking Velikovsky's sources and finding his evidence satisfactory, he came to the conclusion, like Velikovsky, that "large scale accumulations of coal-forming debris have frequently been formed by diastrophic (or catastrophic) occurrences in past geological periods ...
... of the cutting back it has been calculated that the river needed for its work a time between 5 000 and 25 000(Lyell: 35 000) years, the average being about 15 000 years. This figure tallies remarkably well with the figure obtained, from mythological considerations, for the capture of Luna. It is the most important geological contribution to this subject. While the Niagara Falls are the best known falls in the world, the Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River are the largest, and the most enigmatic. The mighty Zambezi River flows, for a considerable distance, over a level sheet of basalt, its hardly perceptible valley being formed by low and distant sandstone ...
687. Still Facing Many Problems [Journals] [Kronos]
... : "In 1959 Worzel identified an extensive subbottom reflection in the eastern equatorial Pacific as a layer of white volcanic ash. The ash reportedly extended from about 11 deg N. to 12 deg S., causing considerable speculation as to its possible global significance (Ewing and others, 1959). Later, Nayudu (1964) [Marine Geology 1, pp.194-212] expressed doubt that the Worzel Ash' was indeed a single, continuous layer. Following Worzel's discovery, numerous cores were taken offshore of Central and South America. . . . Most of these cores contain more than one ash layer. Our investigation deals with the identification, correlation, and distribution of these ...
688. Genesis and The Origin of Species. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... series of articles in our church magazine which I put together as a paper entitled Disasters in Genesis'. Early sections of the paper outline the way in which scientific thought in England, prior to the dawn of the 19th century, developed within constraints imposed by the established church, how and why ideas challenging prevailing dogma first arose in a geological context and the disparity which this created between perceptions of historical time and geological time. Here Charles Lyell is the dominant figure. Against that background later sections discuss the publication of Darwin's two epochal books, The Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871) and the concepts they contain. They also describe developments ...

690. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , 2005 This was held at the Harlequin, Redhill on the 22nd October. The three presentations were connected by the thread of megalithic monuments, but could not otherwise have been more disparate. The eternal question of the where, why and how of megalithic structures from western Europe to North America, were approached from the angles of measurement, geology and cosmic catastrophe, leaving the question of why the monuments were built unanswered. Our first speaker was Christopher Knight, co-author with Alan Butler of the books Civilisation One. He said that their ideas had started some time ago, with an interest in the origins of the rituals of Freemasonry. Their research had led to the conclusion that ...
