... S .S .R . have naively reported ancient catastrophes and on-going explosiveness wherever their vehicles have gone -Venus, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Astrophysicists and astronomers are edging into catastrophic explanations of the surfaces of the inner planets and the asteroidal belt between Mars and Jupiter. Whereas in Charles Darwin's youth many scientists disbelieved in meteors striking the Earth, today certain scientists are advancing serious proposals for a space project aimed at exploding meteoroids that might appear to be on collision courses with the Earth. Where once the evolution of coal beds was supposed to have occupied million of years in the ample time depots of natural history, today at least one authoritative textbook adopts great ...
442. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ., all these ancient nations with tin bronzes cannot be placed in 528 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 the third or early to middle second, but to the end of the second and to the first millennium B.C . Carving hard rock, especially diorite, with copper, bronze, wrought or meteoric iron implements in Egypt, Mesopotamia, or other regions of the Near East could never have been carried out in the third millennium because carburized iron, that is, steel, does not come to be employed until around the first millennium B.C . Since the historians attribute the development of iron to the Hittites, and several forms ...
443. Thoth Vol I, No. 2: February 5, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Keplerian movement of the ring particles; 6. have shapes classified as broad with diffuse edges', sharply defined wedges' pointing to Saturn, and filamentary'. 7. appear to co-rotate with Saturn. The appearance of the spokes is said to be caused by displacement of ring particles above the ring plane by some unexplained mechanism (ionized meteor trails was one suggestion). All of these phenomena, collectively, seem to be an analogue of the electrical activity seen on the surface' of the sun. That is, the blue jets are equivalent to spicules on the sun, which spew ions into the chromosphere to add charge carriers to the plasma in order to carry the ...
444. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of crustal adjustments due to the stresses placed on the crust by the differentially rotating layers beneath it - but what caused such differential rotation, tilted axis and wobbles in the first place? Delair believes this must have been a powerful extraterrestrial force, producing a major catastrophe which has been recorded in myth. Comets, as normally described, or meteor swarms are not large enough but an errant star would probably have written off the Solar System. The best candidate would be a portion of a star possessing the high electromagnetic and thermal potential required to cause massive internal disruption without total destruction. The evidence indicates this occurred about 11,500BP; the lesser, but still catastrophic, episodes ...
445. The Father of the Gods? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... also he used computer calculations to modify and support Vsekhsviatskii's theory of comet origin on or near the surface of Jupiter (13). Vsekhsviatskii's conclusions about Saturn are interesting. Its exceptionally low mean density (0 .71 gm/cc), the unusually high effective level above the surface of its cloud stratum, its ring of cometary and meteoric masses, and the existence of a gaseous atmosphere on its largest satellite Titan, lead him to the following working hypothesis: "The present state of Saturn is the result of a relatively recent and especially high flare-up of eruptive activity on the planet and in its satellite system, which led to the ejection of fragments of the crust, ...

... of references to current applicable research, keeping the other speakers busy taking notes during the day-after meeting. And Ted Holden, our curmudgeon cum laude, presented an update of his compelling material on the impossibility of sauropod (big dinosaurs) scaling in earth's present gravity. Paleontologist Robert Dunlap showed clips from 4 of his video productions about extinctions and meteor craters and after some some prompting & cajoling, managed to get a handle on Ted Holden's compelling sauropod scaling argument. C. J. Ransom provided much needed comic relief with his witticisms and ironies regarding basic resistance to Velikovskian catastrophism. Conference organizer, Dave Talbott's talk on Sunday barely seemed to get started when his time was up so ...
447. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... one may judge from the classing of Creation Research Society workers as "persons", as opposed to others who seek the truth, called "scientists". In "The big bang theory of evolution", THE GUARDIAN, 11/9 /80, John Gribbin gives a summary of the Alvarez et al. work on the giant meteor impact theory (see WORKSHOP 2:4 , p.6 ). He tells us that small creatures ought to have survived the disaster best, according to that brand of the evolutionary theory he proposes - but what, we may ask, of the huge mammals that characterise the Tertiary Period? His prophetic final words are: " ...

... to the Chinese historical records** which began to be scrutinized for these very purposes in the age of Newton. Once one started to examine the ancient records one began to pay attention to the texts that mention that catastrophes on Earth were caused by the impact of a comet. [* See "On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors" by Ilse Fuhr in KRONOS VII:4 (Summer 1982),pp.48-61 and KRONOS VIII:1 (Fall 1982),pp. 38-52. - LMG] [* * Cf.

... had probably escaped from the lunar atmosphere by now. To underscore his earlier memo, he also told Hess that his suggestion "that the rocks on the moon may be magnetic though the moon possesses hardly any magnetic field of its own" was not a phenomenon that other scientists expected. To forestall the explanation that remanent magnetism was due to meteoric impact, he "urgently advised that the rocks before their removal should be noticed and marked." (9 ) To publicize his claims better than he had his earlier ones, he also repeated his Space Board predictions- and in addition suggested intense seismic activity- in the July 21 New York Times. (10) The date was significant ...

... , change, and cycles of heaven and earth". The theory of Bill Napier and Victor Clube of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh is given extended coverage, ". .. a theory very similar in content to that of Velikovsky". Indeed it is. They, too, believe that Earth has been subjected to extra-terrestrial catastrophes-specifically large meteor bombardments - on a fairly regular basis. Theirs differs only in mechanism: catastrophes come when the Solar System in its orbit round our Galaxy encounters cosmic debris in one of the Spiral Arms. "Happily, we are now in clear space having left the region of a spiral arm some 10 million years ago." Napier and Clube ...
