... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IX:2 (July 1987) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Sodom and Gomorrah's Location and Destruction Rene Andrew Boulay Sodom and Gomorrah and the other infamous cities of the Valley of Siddim, which were destroyed in the days of Abraham, have never been physically located, although tradition places them under the waters of the shallow or southern part of the Dead Sea- that body of water the Jews call Yam Hamelach or the Salt Sea. A second assumption, which we will also address here, is the age of the Dead Sea, that it is hundreds of thousands of years old and that it existed in its present configuration since recorded time ...
802. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... , A Fire Not Blown, Ch. 19: Life 106 CHAPTER NINETEEN LIFE Words for life cross the frontier between Semitic and Indo-European languages in the period of Greek and Roman civilisation. Greek bios resembles the Latin vigere, to be well and strong, in that it is a common word for life in the sense of day to day physical existence. Grimm's law helps us to see the relationship. Related to vigere are vis, stem vi, force or power, vita, life, and vivo, I live. The Greek is, in-, force or presence, originally began with a digamma, a letter like our f. It is the same as the ...
803. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... much more massive than its terrestrial counterpart, is nevertheless just a thin shell surrounding the planet, compressed by gravity to a thickness of less than two percent of the planet's radius. And yet, some thirty-five centuries ago, the Exodus encounter brought down meteorites, petroleum, and red dust to the Earth from the extended atmosphere of Venus. Physical considerations of this encounter and other types of evidence presented by Velikovsky indicate that the atmosphere and tail of Venus must have been extended indeed. How could this extended atmosphere avoid being compressed by gravity? A possible explanation is that the gas, dust, and larger particles of the extended atmosphere were whirling around Venus at velocities approaching the escape ...
804. Old Testament Tales, Part II - - Moses and History 'A' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to each and every one of them. Old Testament Tales, Part I' (OTT1) showed that Bietak's dig at Tell ed-Daba supports the Genesis story of Joseph, so its writer Moses must be a historical character too. But how much of Moses' autobiography in Exodus and Numbers is true? We deal first with matters supported by physical or literary evidence, or which were in the public domain and so probably founded on fact. Later on in the series we deal with matters which depend wholly upon the credibility of Moses himself. Counting upward from the lowest stratum (earliest development) at Tell ed-Daba, site A revealed an open settlement of Canaanites with late 12th/ ...

806. New Insights to Antiquity: A Drawing Aside of the Veil by Richard Petersen [Journals] [Aeon]
... , but perhaps one might note that the more modern era of speculators on such things began with William Whiston at the close of the 17th century with his New Theory of the Earth, wherein he postulated that a comet was responsible for the Biblical deluge. Since the days of Whiston there have been numerous authors who have conjectured all manner of physical and non-physical explanations. There are notable books and papers, without doubt, that contain good information, although most by far are replete with heaps of misinformation and equally strange interpretations. Despite our present knowledge we still have a lot to learn about what comets are exactly. One thing we do know now is that they are not " ...

... reach as much as 8 and a half degrees in latitude and 30 or 40 degrees in longitude. [21] In the second edition, he even added this note: "In some cases the identifications of geographical features in the following tables are merely suggestive. They are rendered probable by their positions on the grids rather than by strict physical resemblances." [22] Also in the revised edition is a figure superimposing his adjusted outline of Finaeus' Terra Australis on the Antarctic coast. [23] While there is a general correspondence between the two, more often than not one overlaps the other by, typically, about 3 degrees of latitude, except for the missing ...

... a major eruption at Candlemas Island roughly 3,200 years ago."(40) Of great importance is the accurate dating of tephra, clastic material ejected from volcanoes, so as to definitively date volcanic eruptions. These are dated by themoluminescence and by other methods. According to Glenn W. Berger, "no single, reliable, physical dating technique has been available for the time range from a few hundred years up to several hundred thousand years for both distal and proximal tephra layers."(41) As late as January, 1992, the dating of volcanic eruptions was not known to be completely reliable. Despite what Ellenberger and Mewhinney claim, approximate dates given by ...

810. Geological Genesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... its legs is proportional to only the square of their dimensions; for this reason, larger animals have proportionally shorter and thicker the limb bones but there is a limit to the possible size of an animal living under the direct action of gravity [29]. The dimensions of an elephant's limb bones are approaching the maximum limits of size which physical forces permit and are already tending towards disproportionate thickness [30]. Dinosaurs were of such a degree of magnitude heavier than modern animals that the larger herbivorous sauropods were traditionally thought of as wallowing permanently in swamps to take the weight off their feet [31] [32]. However, there is evidence that they were completely terrestrial ...
