... Schoch." First of all, at the February 1992 AAAS session devoted to the question "How old is the Sphinx?" Schoch debated with Mark Lehner and K.L . Gauri. But he was not alone nor unsupported in this debate. According to the Associated Press, debating on his side was Dr Thomas Dobecki, a geophysicist from Houston. This fact James and Thorpe failed to bring to the attention of their readers. Furthermore, one year prior to the publication of James and Thorpe's book, geologist David Coxill — whose credentials were noted above — wrote a scientific paper which clearly supported Schoch's rain erosion thesis. That paper, titled "The Riddle of the ...

... In the last section of this paper, I shall develop more fully the consequences of this general action in relation to Dr. Velikovsky's theories on cultural amnesia and to my own hypotheses on the nature of creative art. For the moment, let it rest at this - what happens in A Midsummer Night's Dream, transposed without much difficulty into geophysical and astrophysical terms, bears a satisfying resemblance in form and meaning to the cosmological dramas reconstructed by Dr. Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision. I turn now to Antony and Cleopatra, a play saturated with catastrophic images and themes. First, Antony is consistently associated with Hercules and identified with Mars, as Cleopatra is with Venus and Isis ...
... , by working out its orbit, eccentricity, size, mass, nodal and apsidal revolution, etc., in greater detail. Representatives of other sciences are also invited to take an active interest in our Theories, since their disciplines are very considerably involved by our findings. Anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, biologists, geographers, geologists, geophysicists, hydrologists, mythologists, palaeontologists, technologists-who are tired of gnawing at already long clean-gnawed bones, will here find new meaty ones to put their teeth into. Here are new vistas to explore! Here are wide fields on which to win spurs! Here are horizons such as they have never dreamt of! And for those who do ...

... " he can cite the sections of Worlds in Collision entitled "Boiling Earth and Sea" and "Phaethon": "The Zend-Avesta says The sea boiled, all the shores of the ocean boiled, all the middle of it boiled." ' And as to rock magnetization: "in this Sagan errs: The problem that vexes the geophysicists is exactly this how to explain the remanent magnetism of terrestrial rocks and lavas which is in great excess of what the global magnetism could have imparted in them when they were cooling below the Curie point; the excess is several hundredfold and even thousandfold and very much has been written on the subject." (much evidence of this is ...
447. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... the Permian, have witnessed far more extinction than others. Cosmic events, like the passing of the earth through a radioactive cloud are sometimes invoked as explanations, but the fact that the great periods of faunal turnover on land and in the seas do not coincide deprives the cosmic theories of all probability. Climatic events, orogeny, and other geophysical processes that produce fluctuations of the sea level on the continental shelves are far more likely causes. Individual species may become extinct owing to new or newly invading diseases or changes in the biotic environment (particularly a loss of habitat or the arrival of a more successful competitor), yet ultimately their extinction is due to an inability of their ...
