... .6 billion years and this is interpreted by some as the age of the Earth-Moon system. The rock and dust on the Moon's surface, however, is just a random sampling of debris floating in space. The age of these rocks corresponds well with dates of meteorites found on Earth, as they are the same. With the enormous meteor streams that have been recorded on Earth,(38,39, 40, 41) one cannot expect the original lunar surface to be showing, especially since there is no erosion or wind to move this debris. So to date the Moon, one would have to dig to sample the original lunar surface. The Moon rock data ...

452. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Although I have had my own thoughts on the subject for many years, I hesitated to write about so uncertain a matter until I read a reference to the Tunguska event in WORKSHOP 5:1 , p. 33, in which it is reported that a team of US scientists have concluded that the Tunguska impact was caused by a meteoric fragment which originated from the comet Encke. This comet has been with us since its discovery in 1786, but was named Encke much later (J . F. Encke 1791-1865) when Encke found that its orbit was shortened by 2.5 hours every circuit a fact which has been contested. There was, indeed, a definite ...

453. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... human massacre had polluted the rivers of Mesopotamia with blood is untenable in the face of this conclusion. However, there is a natural explanation for the widespread water pollution - the fall of a rain which was itself bloody', a phenomenon which has been recorded throughout the ages (though not always believed) and which is often associated with meteor falls and other dramatic events [24]. It is noteworthy that three separate cultures (Sumerian, Egyptian and Israelite) have accounts of rivers turned to blood' during the late 3rd to mid-2nd millennia BC. The account in Exodus, appearing in a context of environmental and social upheavals, is comparable with that in Nin-me-sar-ra': ...

454. A Catastrophist Reading of Religious Systems [Journals] [SIS Review]
... cosmic instability. It is true that among catastrophists there are many different specific theories about the behaviour of our Solar System during the past four millennia, but they have a common ground which is our shared belief that the recent history of our Earth has been punctuated by enormous upheavals of a global magnitude initiated by extra-terrestrial bodies such as comets, meteors, sun rings or even proto-planets. Velikovsky was the first major proponent of this idea in this century, and he has therefore been the inspiration for all of us, no matter how much we may diverge among ourselves from the specifics of his description. Velikovsky, however, did more than simply try to reconstruct the events of the ...

... 750). Dr Garry Hunt, formerly of Imperial College, informed the British Association Meeting of this astonishing and unexplained fact. He confirmed the magnetic field has an axis 60 degrees from its rotational axis; and he explained the appearance of two very heavily cratered and scarred moons, Miranda and Mimas, as being the result of very severe meteor impacts (see also Workshop 1986:1 , pp.27-28). We also recommend a detailed article in Scientific American January 1987, pp.30-38 giving the results of Voyager 2's mission to Uranus. There the extra warmth on the dark side of Uranus is put down to another (but unspecified) energy source. Bombarded Earth ...

456. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , the bulk of Forrest's criticisms lies with the interpretation of myths and not their misuse. This large section is useful in that it gives the reader some good examples of how a uniformitarian sceptic will counter mythological evidence. Catastrophe in myth can usually be interpreted as exaggerated local events of volcanic eruption, flood, earthquake, hurricane, or even meteor showers. Where worldwide similarity in myth becomes obvious then Forrest falls back on "cultural borrowing", where myths seem more definitely cosmic then they are dismissed as "fanciful disasters", scribal error or translator misinterpretation. Armageddon-type references are disallowed because of their future tense; planetary references are often dismissed because of his belief that gods are ...

... to have been preserved in the temple at Heliopolis. (36) "The evidence that the Benben stone was viewed as a solidified seed of Atum is conclusive," Frankfort informs us on the basis of textual material. (37) The stone may very well have been a bolide which was revered in much the same way that other meteoric fragments were worshipped in other cities of the ancient world. (38) Among these it is important to mention the stone of Kronos (Saturn) held sacred at Delphi and the stone of Amon and Set at Thebes. (39) Atum-Re also took the form of the Benu bird, (40) or Phoenix, at Heliopolis ...

... by wirlwinds. As you mention the possibility of a massive fall of ferralitic dust in the early Eocene and again at the close of the Pleistocene (would it really require weeks or months?), I would like to refer you to falls of dust and mud of unknown origin that are mentioned in Fort's books. Fall of dust with meteoric substance, Chemical News, 25-300; fall of brown dust on a calm day in Pawpaw, Michigan, on Feb.16, 1901, Monthly Weather Review, 29-465; red dust falling upon Hyeres off France in 1889, Levant Herald, May 29, 1889, and St.Louis Globe-Democrat, May 30 1889; fine dust ...

... seems to have completely disappeared after their departure in 410, was the strike site of the comet, which he believes was Biela, which was near the Earth in 441. In 1846 Biela's comet split into two, and the two comets showed wild changes in brightness, but after their return in 1852 both comets disappeared, leaving only a meteor shower to indicate their orbit each year as Earth crosses it. Dr Clube thinks his theory would be confirmed if iridium should be found in soil around Dark Age settlements and reminds sceptics of the Tunguska event in 1908.

Hans Pettersson, "Exploring the Ocean Floor," Scientific American, 183 (August, 1950), 42-4, as to rich deposits of nickel of meteoric origin in the red clay on the ocean bottoms. Many comets are of recent origin (historical times) and are the result of disruptions on planets. (W in C, p. 201 and elsewhere) See S. K.
