Raised beaches don't require lowered sea levels Horizon BBC 2, 13.4 .92 New Zealand geologist Wellman showed how sudden shifts at faults where slow pressure had been building up were responsible for quite large scale lateral displacements and vertical movements. The latter explained many of the raised beaches in New ...

I have said sufficient to show that with the sudden shifting of the earth's orbit and axis it must have become apparent to the astronomers how essential it was for them to readjust their orientation to the resultant changes. New measurements ...

... imagine a relatively large stellar object built primarily of hydrogen; clothed in a uniform film of anode glow, reddish in hue, it would be classified by astronomers as a red giant star.) If one continues the process of diminishing the size of an anode, a point is reached where ionization of neutral matter sets in. Particles are ... in the higher regions visible in depth toward the limb, and generally more pronounced for light atoms than for heavy atoms. Consider the spectrographic evidence pertaining to granules. Blue shifts in the wavelengths of granule Fraunhofer lines - Doppler effects indicating motion toward the observer, or upward - have been apparent for many years. Again, the conventional interpretation ...
246. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... one was Velikovsky's assumption `that similarity of form reflects simultaneity of occurrence', which led him to think that all the fossil fish found throughout hundreds of feet of Old Red Sandstone deposits (from the Devonian Period) had died in a single catastrophe, even seeing evidence of this catastrophe in facial expressions and body contortions of individual fossils; ... to the school of sociobiologists who believe that the individual is the unit of selection, but in his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene, he went further. By a shift of perspective, he argued that it is valid to regard the gene as the actual unit of selection, with the individual acting as the gene's `survival machine' ...

Old accounts of ... put forward for this but one of the latest must have had SIS readers in mind. It is suggested that we look to outer space for the answer.

... , and hare (culled from a reference that I supplied) with finds of the bones of smaller creatures.(57) This, too, is something of a red herring, for no one seriously disputes the fact concerning the existence of skeletal remains of smaller species. It is the paucity of their complete bodies in a frozen state ... correct in stating that Hapgood's evidence has become out of date, for the most part. However, his original starting point which led him along the path to proposing pole shifts as a mechanism for producing ice ages was the evidence from the ancient portolano maps. This evidence still stands. It has recently been taken up by John Weihaupt of ...
