... response to a growing interest in the works of modern catastrophists, notably the highly controversial Dr Immanuel Velikovsky. In his books Worlds in Collision, Earth in Upheaval and Ages in Chaos he argued that the ancient myths and sources such as the Bible contained records of planetary catastrophes in the Earth's history and, based on this, he suggested that geology, cosmology and ancient history should be reconsidered. In cosmology he proposed that electricity played a much larger role than in the orthodox scheme and that Venus in particular was a young planet. In ancient history, he proposed that the orthodox chronology should be severely shortened to eliminate false identifications and fictitious dark ages'. Over the years, ...
782. Sodom and Gomorrah [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an undying image of wickedness: sodomy. Although their notorious image persists, the cities themselves have been lost for millennia - generally considered to be "covered in the shallow waters .. . near the southern end of the Dead Sea." (1 ) "The Dead Sea occupies... a sunken block confined by two parallel geological faults" (2 ) - suggestive of a catastrophic origin. That is to say the depression was not created by the action of water, and the "sea" is not really a sea but a landlocked lake. The former location of Sodom and Gomorrah is of necessity presumed to be outside the area of the Dead Sea proper ...
783. On the Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Journals] [Pensee]
... 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 14 October 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 ...

786. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... not the first to suggest these are the remains of ancient buildings; one self-styled biblical archaeologist even identifies these weathered shapes as the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah. After studying such claims, we visited the area in March 1997, along with David Rohl. David Ellis (Genesis Laboratory, London) subsequently produced a five-page technical report, The Geology of the Dead Sea Shore Formations near Masada, Israel'. A summary of its salient points follows. Although the formations near Masada look remarkably like the remains of ancient buildings from a distance, close examination eliminates this possibility. The formations have a purely geological origin, as is clear from their micro-structure. This largely comprises alternate seasonal ...
787. The Importance of Outsiders in Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... polymaths of all time, Leonardo da Vinci. The bastard son of a Florentine lawyer, he showed early talent in the fields of music, modelling and drawing before undergoing training as a painter. He was enrolled in the painters' guild in Florence at 20 but pursued hobby interests in architecture, hydraulics, mechanics, engineering, astronomy, geology and anatomy - in which fields he was entirely self- taught! Moving to Milan at the age of 30, he entered the service of Lodovico Sforza primarily as a military and naval engineer, sculptor next and painter only incidentally. He was employed by Caesar Borgia from the age of 50, mapping the country, planning canals, ...
