... , 1913-7). Besides these authors, to whom distinct chapters of the intended monograph are devoted, occur other intellectual figures who are to be treated in the proposed research. They include Shakespeare, John Bunyan, John Milton, and Voltaire in Chapter I; Newton, Fontanelle, Locke and Hume in Chapter II; Hutton, Lamarck, Lyell, Cuvier, Buckland and Agassiz in IV. Boulanger, rarely mentioned, is discussed in Chapter VI; he combines scientific catastrophism (comet and flood); a theory of the origins of religion in real-world fear; a theory of collective amnesia; and the use of the myth from suppressed traumas - all in an unprecedented manner. ...

... Further, we know that along with millions of mammoths, the northern Siberian plains (today one of the coldest spots on earth) supported vast numbers of rhinoceros, antelope, horse, bison, sabertooth cat, and other animals. No doubt it was the knowledge of these conditions that caused the great founder of modern geology, Sir Charles Lyell, to remark that it would be impossible for herds of mammoth and rhinoceros to subsist throughout the year, even in the southern part of Siberia. Many of the mammoths that have been found frozen have had as much as fifty pounds of organic material, largely undigested and remarkably well preserved, in their teeth and stomach- their last ...

... of Uniformitarianism and Catastrophicism, Darwinism, Marxism, the struggle between science and religion and so on to other topics under treatment here. There exist some excellent more special studies as well, such as C.C . Gillispie's Genesis and Geology (1951) and John C. Green's The Death of Adam (1959). The works of Lyell, Darwin, Cuvier, and many another contributor are of course readily available. The complete works of Marx and Engels are published in German and beginning to be published in English (in 100 volumes); meanwhile much of the essential work, such as Engels' Dialectics of Nature, is available in English, too. The " ...

... basic ordinal characters" (Simpson, 1944, p106). Many of the plant species, it is believed, are replicas of other species (= > polyploids), differing almost entirely in size alone, with the physiology and behavior appropriate to giantism and dwarfism [73]. That the horse, a favorite instance of evolution since Lyell, has evolved its peculiar configuration by means other than genetic realization seems unlikely. The millions of years authorized to complete this series of changes (among others) are unnecessary and probably even insufficient unless supported by a theory of genetic realization, a position that has forced its way into contemporary evolutionary thought to evade the constraints of ever greater ...

... the true till of Scotland. They occur here and there in boulder-clay, and underneath boulder-clay, in maritime districts; but this clay, as 1 have shown, is more recent than the till-in fact, rests upon its eroded surface." "The lower bed of the drift is entirely destitute of organic remains."7 Sir Charles Lyell tells us that even the stratified drift is usually devoid of fossils; " Whatever may be the cause, the fact is certain that over large areas in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, I might add throughout the northern hemisphere, on both sides of the Atlantic, the stratified drift of the glacial period is very commonly devoid of ...

... the hipsithermal presents another major obstacle to the concept that the mammoth carcasses, bones, and tusks lay buried in the soil of the arctic for 10,000 years. All researchers have assumed that these organic remains have lain frozen in the arctic since the Ice Age ended 10,000 years ago. According to Howorth... "Lyell was constrained to write:- It is certain that from the moment when the carcasses both of the rhinoceros and the elephant...were buried in Siberia, in lat. 64 and 70 N the soil has remained frozen, and the atmosphere as cold as at this day. ' Again, he says:- One thing ...

178. The Moon In Upheaval [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... contradictory phenomena would not be so numerous, compelling nor basic. Yet, here we encounter a seeming enigma. Seismometers on the lunar surface have measured undeniable evidence of impacts occurring presently. It is on the basis of this present-day evidence that astronomers feel confident that the impact hypothesis must be correct. The reasoning is like that proposed by Charles Lyell 150 years ago, that "the present is the key to the past." Therefore, if impacts are happening today, then they must also have occurred throughout the entire period of lunar history. To support this uniformitarian belief, they must ignore all the varied evidence presented above or invent numerous ad hoc processes to explain the negative ...

... . William Wells suggested the idea in 1813, though apparently only to explain variation within a species, and Edward Blyth considered (but rejected) it in 1835. However, the Scottish landowner and botanist, Patrick Matthew (1790-1874) anticipated all the important aspects of Darwin's theory in 1831. This was acknowledged by Darwin in a letter to Lyell in April 1860: "Now for a curious thing about my book, and then I have done. In last Saturday's Gardener's Chronicle, a Mr. Patrick Matthew publishes a long extract from his work on Naval Timber and Arboriculture published in 1831, in which he briefly but completely anticipates the theory of Natural Selection.

... of Sagan here and there in this book as required, but Ginenthal's book is a marvelous demolition piece, and readers are advised to look at it in complement with this one. In my concluding chapter, I survey the continuing Velikovsky Affair and seek the real reasons why it recurs. By taking the question back before Velikovsky to Darwin, Lyell, Newton, the Scholastics and, finally, to Aristotle and Plato, I show that the urge to suppress any mention of catastrophe and to encourage a belief in uniformitarianism has been a disease rampant in our culture for 2,500 years, and that the Velikovsky Affair per se is merely the latest in a long chain of similar ...
