... ridges with consequent avalanching out upon the surface of the Athabaska Valley glacier. That event was followed by a great tide from the Gulf of Mexico."38 Hunt then gives evidence of relic beaches and evaporate deposits of Lake Bonneville to reinforce his thesis. In summation Hunt states that, "The concept of a celestial body interfering with Earth gravity to cause great tides is not alien to the theory of uniformitarianism. "39 Velikovsky states in the chapter titled "Sea and Land Change Places" in Earth in Upheaval, "The most renowned naturalist to come from the generation of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars was Georges Cuvier. He was the founder of vertebrate paleontology, ...
462. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... would follow from Velikovsky's concept that Venus is a newborn planet and that the methane was found to be abundant. Perhaps Stiebing will explain how this finding proves that scientists reject wildly improbable events when they analyze evidence. Does he really believe Pioneer Venus came down on a volcano on Venus that would only erupt methane once every 100 million years? GRAVITY AND VENUS, DEIMOS AND PHOBOS Stiebing further argues that, It is difficult to account for Venus' hypothetical change in orbit from a very elongated one to a nearly circular one as the result of a collision with Mars. Such a change,"would have required the application of outside forces thousands of times more powerful than those needed ...
... their land, and send soldiers to live upon it. When the Jews heard this message of the king, they were confounded; but so sordidly covetous was Onias, that nothing of things nature made him ashamed. 2. There was now one Joseph, young in age, but of great reputation among the people of Jerusalem, for gravity, prudence, and justice. His father's name was Tobias; and his mother was the sister of Onias the high priest, who informed him of the coming of the ambassador; for he was then sojourning at a village named Phicol, (13) where he was born. Hereupon he came to the city [Jerusalem], ...
... initio; he started from "first principles" in fields where a whole mass of knowledge had already accumulated over the centuries. That, in a nutshell, is the flaw in Cosmos without Gravitation (see Chapter 7): sure, the heavier gases in the atmosphere should settle out- if the only factor involved were the force of gravity; sure, the water droplets in clouds defy gravity- if one does not yet know about colloids and Brownian motion. 270 Beyond Velikovsky Too simplistic an approach also characterizes Velikovsky's advance claims. "If Venus has revolved on its orbit for billions of years, there should be no measurable drop in the temperature of the planet that could ...

... of myths, legends, folklore, and religious faith. This in spite of the awkwardness that, in the words of Lynn Rose (1972:31), "if historical data conflict with astronomical theories, it is strange that history should have to be rewritten to conform to these theories!" Scientists teach us that the force of gravity is at work when an apple falls from a tree today just as surely as it operated thousands and millions of years ago; the same principle of falling bodies on Earth holds true for planets remaining in orbit today just as they have for billions of years. The time formulation to which modern scientists give unswerving allegiance receives its validation in ...
467. The Role of Ancient Myths in Orthodox Natural Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... the people were recorded. These reports aim to perpetuate socio-political ideologies or they are written to justify the destruction of a socio-political reign. [* Myths such as "steady state," "big bang," "greenhouse effect," "light years," "celestial bodies," "law of uniformity," "law of gravity," "quarks".] Insofar as physical events of the natural phenomena (non-human) act as cause of socio-political upheaval, there is an overlap between historical reality and scientific reality. Scientific myths are inexorably locked into "socially acceptable" models of the universe, and they are protected by the scientific orthodoxy. And besides this ...

... I know a clergyman who says he preaches mysteries he doesn't understand, and I think the physicists are doing the same'. Ironically, in 1939 Einstein himself wrote a paper to prove black holes are impossible, yet physicists now use relativity theory to prove they are Meanwhile, out in space, two stars which orbit a common centre of gravity are precessing at only a quarter of the rate predicted by general relativity theory. A satellite probe in 1999 is designed to detect a key force predicted by Einstein and will be a critical test of relativity theory.

... phenomena which orthodox science cannot yet explain. ASTRONOMY A Mystery by any Other Name (New Scientist 7.2 .04. pp. 32-35) All the mysterious forces which physicists have had to invent to explain the workings of the universe can now, apparently, be rolled into one. A team from Harvard University found that by tweaking gravity and Einstein's general theory of relativity, dark energy, dark matter and inflation can be tied together as the result of the behaviour of one omnipresent fluid called a ghost condensate'. What next? God – or dare we mention electricity? Chaos in the Solar System (New Scientist, 28.2 .04. pp. 32-35 ...

Crowded space The New York Times 2.1 .97, 7.1 .97 and 19.12.97 The Trojan swarms of asteroids, which orbit the Sun at the same distance as Jupiter, were originally more numerous than the asteroid belt but the gravity of the giant planets has shaken many loose and it is estimated that over 200 of them now roam within the Solar System. Earth is also apparently bombarded by far more rocks from space than originally thought. Military data indicate that around 12 events' a year produce blasts of nuclear warhead proportions, producing brilliant fireballs which are rarely seen ...
