... though at opposite ends of the cosmic scale. For Professor Wickramasinghe, the development of life on Earth is the result of microscopic bacteria evolving in space and "seeding" this planet, having been transported by cometary tails; for Rene Gallant, macroscopic impacts by asteroids and meteorites have not only altered evolutionary patterns but have been responsible for major geological, climatological and calendrical changes right down through prehistoric into early historical times. Gallant, a pioneer of modern catastrophism, and Wickramasinghe, a contemporary scourge of orthodoxy in biology and cosmology, attracted a full house to the Library Association for the Society's major meeting of the year, despite appalling weather. Both talks were very well received and ...

743. The Mammoths, Prologue Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... this process of infinitesimal changes. According to the theory of evolution, these minute changes came as a result of adaptation to living conditions in the struggle of the species for survival. Like the theories of Lamarck and Darwin, which postulate slow changes in animals, with tens of thousands of years required for a minute step in evolution, the geological theories of the nineteenth century) and of the twentieth as well, regard the geological processes as exceedingly slow and dependent on erosion by rain, wind, and tides. Darwin admitted that he was unable to find an explanation for the extermination of the mammoth, an animal better developed than the elephant which survived.(4 ) But ...
744. Stargazers and Gravediggers by Immanuel Velikovsky [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... With the publication of Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision in 1950 a bombshell burst upon the literary and scientific scene whose reverberations continue to this day. Even prior to publication, the book was the subject of intense controversy. In it, Velikovsky suggested a catastrophic history of the solar system, which at once resolved innumerable historical, astronomical, and geological enigmas, while also challenging more than a few hallowed scientific dogmas. The academic community was immediately and intensely polarized. Several world-famous "authorities" denounced the book as "rubbish" (without having read it carefully), while other scientists and scholars praised Velikovsky's method and revolutionary conclusions. Through a concerted campaign of letter writing, a ...
745. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of recent discoveries of radio waves from Jupiter and of the high surface temperature of Venus, we think it proper and just to make the following statement. On October 14, 1953, Immanuel Velikovsky, addressing the Forum of the Graduate College of Princeton University in a lecture entitled Worlds in Collision in the Light of Recent Finds in Archaeology, Geology and Astronomy: Refuted or Verified? ' concluded the lecture as follows: The planet Jupiter is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the sun and the stars. I suggest that this be investigated. ' Soon after that date, the text of the ...

... 5 and "Wildt, unlike Velikovsky, understood well the difference between hydrocarbons and carbohydrates." 6 Sagan argues that Velikovsky, a trained doctor, does not know the difference between hydrocarbons and carbohydrates. This is completely the opposite opinion of Harry H. Hess, the late Chairman of the Geophysics Department of Princeton University and President of American Geological Society. He stated in Velikovsky Reconsidered, (NY 1977), p. 46, that, "I suspect the merit [of your work] lies in that you have a good basic background in the natural sciences..." Hess was well acquainted with Velikovsky's work and he would have certainly noticed such a confusion if ...
748. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Velikovskians will find much material of interest in the Sourcebook Project, which aims at "the collection, organisation and publication of information about unusual phenomena and curious features of the natural world .. . to challenge science with data not easily explained (or not explainable at all) in terms of current scientific theories." Strange Planet deals with geology, hence Uniformitarianism, Evolution and the theory of ice ages come under scrutiny, using material from the scientific literature of the past 130 years. Three-quarters of the articles collected here come from the mainstream of scientific publications, Nature, Science and the Bulletin of the Geological Association being well represented, the remainder being culled from what Nature has ...
749. Shattering The Myths Of Darwinism by Richard Milton (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The Great Evolution Mystery by Gordon Rattray-Taylor (1983), Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton 1985), and Beyond Natural Selection by Robert Wesson (1991). Milton, indeed, cites Macbeth and Denton in support of his own arguments. Milton himself is a journalist and engineer as well as a decades-long member of The Geologists' Association in Great Britain. Like Macbeth, he is a non-biologist who nonetheless brings rigorous professional standards of argumentation to his critique of regnant biological theory. Milton's primary target is conventional geochronology, or earth-dating, of the type known as uniformitarian (or uniformist, for short). Since the discovery of radioactivity a century ago, this ...
