... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 2 No. 2 (Dec 1977) Home | Issue Contents Fossil cemeteries V. A. Obruchev From: V.A .Obruchev, 1959: Fundamentals of geology. Moscow. P. 321-326. The history of life on the Earth really shows that during certain periods of time some genera, families, orders and classes of animals and plants came into being, attained their greatest development and distribution and then died out or considerably diminished. ( .. . ) The leading part was played by climatic changes connected with *he transgressions and regressions of the sea, the epochs of mountainbuilding and glacial phases. But in addition to these slow ...
772. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents Solar System Studies Fred Hall INTRODUCTION Prior to this century arguments raged over the implications of the geological record and the subject of evolution of life forms on Earth. Some argued that Earth had been fundamentally altered by the Universal Deluge and that the biblical record should be taken literally. Others argued that uniformitarian processes and slow evolution by adaptation of species could explain the geological record as we find it. The latter school gained the day and their premises came to be widely taught. A corollary result was a loss of interest in biblical descriptions of catastrophes and a general disregard for tales of other ancient cultures regarding ...
773. Apophoreta 2 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 1 No. 2 (Dec 1976) Home | Issue Contents Apophoreta 2 After a banquet in ancient Greece, guests received some eatable or drinkable gifts, APOPHORETA - things to be carried off', to take home. On this page a column is published in which provocative hypotheses are presented. They may serve to stimulate thought and research - and the correspondence for the Comments' column of this journal, In their investigation of core samples from the Gulf of Mexico, Emiliani et al (Science 1975, 189:1083-88) discovered a section nearly two meters in thickness thatyielded radiocarbon ages of about 25,000 years B.P . The ...
774. The Case for Catastrophe in Historical Times [Journals] [Kronos]
... Catastrophe in Historical Times Bernard Newgrosh INTRODUCTION In recent years the Theory of Uniformity has been subject to some considerable criticism, and its great rival of old - Catastrophism - has commanded attention once more. Indeed, Catastrophism is currently in vogue. Whilst there is not yet general agreement among scientists as to the role of global catastrophes in shaping the geological history of Earth, such ideas are being debated and would appear to be gaining acceptance. By way of contrast, the reaction of most scientists and archaeologists to the idea that global catastrophes may have shaped Earth's more recent past - in particular, during historical times - has been one of outright rejection. A few daring souls have, ...
775. Geophysical Time Series and Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 1 No. 1 (June 1976) Home | Issue Contents Geophysical Time Series and Catastrophism Vít Klemeš Hydrology Research Division, Inland Waters Directorate Department of the Environment Ottawa, Canada. Introduction The old goal of a great many Egyptian rulers and governments to harness the Nile River and make use of the Nile water to the fullest possible extent' (Hurst et al., 1965) has led to extensive studies of hydrological records of the Nile River and, in particular, of the long series of maximum flood stages recorded on the Roda gauge in Cairo which dates back to 641 A.D . Since about 1936 these studies were conducted by H ...
776. Requirements For The Convection Cell [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of continental drift, the idea of which has had a stormy reception in scientific circles, from what may have been its first inception when Sir Francis Bacon noticed continental shoreline similarities in 1620, through the middle of the nineteenth century exponents, to the modern upsurge started by Taylor in 1910 and Wegener in 1915. In his PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICAL GEOLOGY written in 1929, Arthur Holmes first proposed that mantle convection currents were responsible for continental drift; and lacking any physical evidence, there it rested until Hess provided a convincing hypothesis. Hess also suggested that proof may be demonstrated by the magnetic studies initiated by Frederick J.Vine and Drummond H.Matthews in 1965 and concluded in 1967 ...
777. Editor's Page [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Editor's Page Judging by current scientific literature and recent symposia, mainstream astronomers, geologists, and historians have finally decided to jump on the catastrophists' band wagon- which brings to mind a conversation that Ev Cochrane and I had with Professor Benny Peiser, in July of 1996, when we went to pick him up at the airport for the Deerfield Beach, Florida, symposium sponsored by AEON. It was on the way from the airport that Peiser first informed us of the above revelation. He also told us, however, that while astronomers had come around to seriously consider terrestrial catastrophism as having possibly ...
778. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... many-sided aspects of extending physical and chemical analyses of snow and ice to what Crary (1970) calls: the thin dimension' of glaciers, thereby adding time to the parameters considered. In a more recent paper, Dansgaard and others (1973) listed the potentialities of polar ice-core and bore-hole studies relevant to glaciology, meteorology, climatology, geology, volcanology, atmospheric chemistry, cosmic and solar physics, and 14C dating"[1 ]. No mention is made of the small group of catastrophist scholars shuddering at the brink of the bore-hole, but it happens that if the ice core were to demonstrate the regular passage of a long stretch of uneventful time, quantavolution would simply ...
779. The Unworkable Polar Saturn [Journals] [Aeon]
... kilometers. In time this would tend to pull the mantle out from under the crust. The Saturnward part of Earth would come to be characterized by mantle, with a ring of crust further back, and a ring of ocean still further back, as seen from Saturn. This bullseye pattern of mantle, crust, and ocean has no geological counterpart. It is also totally inconsistent with the distribution of island endemic species of life, which requires the oceans to have varied hardly more than a hundred or so metres in depth in place and time. Another fatal flaw of the model arises from lethal bombardment of Earth by highly charged particles in Saturn's Van Allen belts. While Earth ...
