701. Extinction. Ch.14 Extinction (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Extinction Many forms of life, many species and genera of animals that lived on this planet in a recent geological period, in the age of man, have utterly disappeared without leaving a single survivor. Mammals walked in fields and forests, propagated and multiplied, and then without a sign of degeneration vanished. "A considerable group have become extinct virtually within the last few thousand years. . . . The large mammals that died out [in America] include all the camels, all the horses, all the ground sloths, two genera of musk-oxen, peccaries, certain antelopes, ...

... order to build the continental ice covers; it also changed the profile of the earth's crust, lifting some mountains and levelling others. All this created scenes of the utmost complexity. An example is the old but not antiquated description of the North-eastern United States from Maine to Michigan and New Jersey by J. D. Whitney, professor of geology at Harvard (1875-96). In his work, The Climatic Changes of Later Geological Times (1882), he wrote about this area as "a region where the Glacial phenomena exhibit the highest degree of complexity. We are beset with difficulties when we attempt to solve the problem presented by the Northern Drift in North-eastern America. . ...

703. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... task by questioning their interpretations or reading of the parts of Genesis on which certain of their arguments are based. Having shown that both these viewpoints are faulty, he attempts to outline an alternative. After giving a brief account of Velikovskian catastrophism, the author gives his thoughts on a variety of subjects from the time of the Flood in the geological column (beginning of the Holocene), the Tower of Babel, the origin of races, and the Tabernacle. This second half of the book is disjointed and largely unconvincing, and falls short of an alternative explanation to either the neo-Darwinian or the Creationist view points. The objections to the neo-Darwinian synthesis are cited briefly by the author ...

... recent world-wide sinking of ocean level," which could have been caused by water being drawn from the oceans to build the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland. Alternatively, Daly thinks it could also have resulted from a deepening of the oceans or from an increase in their areas. P. H. Kuenen of Leyden University, in his Marine Geology, finds Daly's claim confirmed: "In thirty-odd years following Daly's first paper many further instances have been recorded by a number of investigators the world over, so that this recent shift is now well established."5 Whatever was the cause of the phenomenon observed, it was not the result of a slow change; in such case ...

... an altered orbit) occurred within the memory of man. Harold Urey, who apparently becomes apoplectic at the mention of Velikovsky's name, has recently picked up on an idea advanced earlier by Nininger (Out of the Sky, 1952) that "Cometary encounters may well be considered as having been responsible on the earth for the puzzling succession of geological revolutions which form the principal time divisions in historical geology" (Nininger, p. 294, Dover edition, 1959); Urey (Nature 242, 32, March 2, 1973) almost parrots Velikovsky: ". . . very violent physical effects should occur over a substantial fraction of the Earth's surface. For example, the ...

... around the work of Milutin Milankovich, involve three contributory factors: eccentricity of Earth's orbit, precession of Earth's poles and the obliquity of the ecliptic. Peter Warlow ably demonstrated that the main problem concerning the acceptance of these factors as a sufficient explanation for the Ice Ages derives from the minute and insignificant changes brought about by them. All the geological evidence available points to a more sudden and catastrophic cause for the Ice Ages as witnessed by such phenomena as the trees in the Fens, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Denmark which are cut through and aligned in a position facing North East as though suddenly shattered by a blast from the South West. Apparently the well known astronomer, Fred ...

... with the Beagle and patiently collected facts from the Galapagos Islands and elsewhere around the world. Many people take it for granted that these actual observations are the basis for his theory of gradual evolution by natural selection. Darwin did make many observations, but his theory was chosen in defiance of observational data, not because of observational data. The geological and paleontological record shows no gradual transition, no continuity. Rather, it shows that there were sudden, numerous, and simultaneous extinctions of older species and sudden, numerous, and simultaneous generations of newer species. The destructions and extinctions that Darwin found in the Americas were so massive and so extensive that at first his mind was, ...

... Palmer. Publication is planned for July 2003, Hardback, 532 pages 8 line diagrams 35 half-tones 1 table, ISBN: 0521819288. Not yet published - available from July 2003. Perilous Planet Earth places our present concern about the threat to Earth from asteroids and comets within an historical context, looking at the evidence for past events within the geological and historical records. The book looks at the way in which prevailing views about modes of global change have changed dramatically over the years. It also considers the way in which catastrophic events are now seen to have influenced the course of evolution in the distant past, as well as the rise and fall of civilisations in more recent times ...

... lands to sweep away the people; they filled the seas like the spawn of fish..." This is humanity witnessing Armageddon. This is a near extinction event. Which brings us back to the extinction of the dinosaurs and the suggestion that they left the stage because of a large meteorite impact. Unfortunately for this hypothesis, recent geological work reveals that the connection just does not hold up. Evidence presented at a conference of global catastrophes (GSA Special paper 247) showed that the extinction which included most of the dinosaurs came not at the high iridium horizon which is taken to indicate the meteorite impact, but half a million years before. (7 ) There was ...

... by R. Petersen 1998, Engwald & Co., USA, $27.95 Jill Abery The preface of this work states that its central thrust is to expose and correct certain serious errors about earth's past now current in the ivied halls of learning. In the early part of the book the author certainly exposes several major problems of geology and, starting with an initial interest in the work of Velikovsky, he has obviously read widely the work of many earlier and subsequent catastrophists. However, the insights he eventually reveals to the reader, after very definitely engendering an anticipated some surprise', failed entirely to delight' this reader. His first chapters take us to Mexico ...
