... of the global themes of the myth-making age- and all of the indisputable, concretely-defined relationships *between* these forms- could not be an accident. Dave Talbott- CRATORS: IMPACT OR DISCHARGE EXCHANGE? By Wal Thornhill (walt@netinfo.co.au) A scientific critic has posted: I find it incredible and unbelievable to argue that Meteor Crater or any other well-known earth craters such as the Ries Crater in Germany or Manson in Iowa originated from a giant bolt of lightening, because the bulk of ejecta in all the above and all others I have read about is not fused. Response: Your reaction is understandable because, as it is with so much evidence for catastrophism ...

... significance in this context than a temporal one. Both, the turbidity current and the slump, are geologically speaking instantaneous phenomena. However, the transformation of a slump into a turbidity current results in a regional distribution of the sedimentary matter quite unexplained by the slump alone (Heezen and Ewing, 1952). In a similar way a great meteor impact may result in longer lasting and farther reaching phenomena such as clouding of the atmosphere or muddying of the sea water. The effects of such secondary consequences may be far more serious on existing life than the impact itself (see McLaren, 1970). The chain reaction fault movement - earthquake - submarine slump - turbidity current (Heezen ...

... it appeared like a star "that sends a flaming trail through the sky." According to Philostratus the Younger, the ball's radiance was "like the twinkling of the stars." (96) All of this led Suhr to identify Eros as a comet: "Where can we find a more persuasive picture of a comet or a meteor winging its way through the darkness of the night sky?" (97) The comet, however, was not Eros but Aphrodite's "ball" and, in our view, Aphrodite herself. It should however be noted that, because the planets were visually superimposed, the spiral became associated with Eros as much as with Aphrodite. ...

... politics, but not science! The New Scientist (7 October 1975) said: "It seems highly likely that his (Dr Griffiths') near-demise was marked by a record hailstone". I did not write, as my letters are generally ignored. The Guardian (Anthony Tucker, 29 September 1975) under the heading "Mystery meteor baffles weather men" said "The changes (sic - meaning chances) of its having come from an aircraft were remote .. . Meteorologists and physicists alike have no convincing answer to the puzzle, the report says". I did not write because they have a very conservative attitude to scientific subjects, unless they are merely humorous ...
526. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... inherited by the Greeks, one about the goddess they associated with the evening star and one about the goddess they associated with the morning star, is a reasonable supposition. Granted that the Greeks knew that the evening star was born at a time of cosmic upheaval, and was accompanied by falls of haematoid pigment and the appearance of showers of meteoric debris, why was Aphrodite supposed to have risen from the sea, born from the foam of the Sky-god's genitals? Perhaps this is a myth local to the Eastern Mediterranean, where a fall of material at the time of Venus' appearance may have given rise to the myth as we know it. The myths also suggest some seismic ...

... related in my book. Oceanographic research brought several confirming data. H. Pettersson of Goteborg found so much nickel in clay of the oceanic bed that he inferred that at some time in the past there had been a prodigious fall of meteorites [39]. In W. in C., the descent of enormous trains of meteorites and meteoric dust and ash (pp. 51ff) of land and sea is narrated, with reliance on ancient sources. In 1958, J. L. Worzel found a layer of white ash, 5 to 30 cm thick, very close to the bottom, evenly spread over an enormous area of the ocean bed in the Pacific, and ...
528. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the men of early times saw in the sky a cometary tail (male) leaping back and forth in relation to a flaming globe (female), they conceived the spectacle as the act of copulation of the supreme deity (i .e . of the masculine god and his paredra). The issue resulting from this supposed dalliance (meteoric particles and gaseous matter) was regarded as spermatic fluid, capable of producing stars, galaxies and men by this very act of cosmic generation. Envy, along with the wish to replace the omnipotent father-figure, caused an emotional conflict which led to suppression of the mother-figure. Yahweh lost his Kadesh, who once used to visit him on ...
