... ' [10], probably had the same origin. This leaping behaviour might explain why Mars is always a youthful deity in ancient myth. The planet is also conspicuously red, a fitting colour for the blood-stained god of war. Similarly, of all the planets Mercury moves the most rapidly, which suits a god who presided over a ... ancient astrology and cosmology. My own view is that the history of the Solar System may not have been as eventful as that reconstructed by Velikovskian catastrophists, with planets frequently shifting their orbits. Yet it may not have been that dull either. We should certainly not be so complacent that we live in a safe' Solar System that has ...

... 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 ... Century B.C . that were fired when Tunisia was in the southern magnetic hemisphere. The cause of the reversals is said not to be known. There have been shifts in the direction of the Earth's astronomical axis and in the position of the geographical pole.

253. Thoth Vol IV, No 10: June 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... planets must be like the Earth in its present circumstance and usually orbit outside a star. The model I have proposed of life-bearing planets within the more favorable envelope of a red star would render them invisible to any telescope, no matter how large. Article: The so-called Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (Owl) will also see across space to the ... to Halton Arp, these high redshift values are primarily due to intrinsic (age related) properties of the object. So, the difference between the (large) measured shift and one of his quantum redshift values always turns out to be small enough that we can use the simple v = cz relationship to find the actual velocity. Mel ...
254. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... , Charles D'Ydewalle, who arrived soon after Gallant [23] . Gallant himself thought it "not bad" by comparison with Dachau..., since at least Red Cross parcels were allowed in. In an exchange of allied pilots for the petrol much needed by Spain, Gallant was released from Miranda on 14 February 1942. Via ... it is equally absurd to deny that from time to time, in the past, cosmic catastrophes may have disturbed the operation of slow evolution". Again one notes the shift in position, among earth scientists, over the last 30 years, towards Gallant's view. This is not to claim that they have been influenced by Gallant; his ...

... half, all embryos were ejected, leaving the belt empty save a little rubble; these simulations usually yielded a fourth planet twice the size of Mars, indicating that the red planet was unlucky' to get so little material, or that the model is less than fully adequate. Because in half the simulations the time to expel the last ... first to damn with faint praise, then to dismiss as totally unable to conduct rational and scientific arguments', they commented that Velikovsky had derived a 400- to 500-year shift.... not unlike the leap we have been discussing'. 28.

256. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is scarcely less powerful. Tides can stretch for great lengths and in all directions. Those who like to imagine that the Exodus tide was limited ignore the evidence that the Red Sea was in motion. Moreover, they overlook the fact that unidimensional tides are practically restricted to hurricanes. A splash, a large-body pass-by, an explosion or a ... the speed of rotation of the globe, for which an exoterrestrial large-body encounter must be presumed, necessarily entails large tides. Some writers, including ourselves, have surmised a shift from 360 to 365 days a year around the eighth century B.C . Putting aside the more plausible cause of orbital recession, and laying the burden of such ...
257. Big and Little Science [Articles]
... , there is often no intrinsic relation between what science does and what science believes. The outsider might think that, if we cannot ascertain what quasars are or what the red shift means, astronomy must simply come to a stop, but it does not, for science can be done even if there is no agreement on fundamental views, ... , to put it more brutally, science can be done without belief. The physicist does physics without being sure what matter is, astronomy is done without a secure knowledge of the origin of the universe, cognitive science is done without a knowledge of the mind, biology is done without a knowledge of life and psychology is done without a ...

... country become an island. Thus the island Sicily is suppos'd to have been made, and all Africa might be an island, if the isthmus between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea should sink down. And these islands may have rocks and mountains in them, if the Lance had so before. Lastly; there are islands that have been ... when the Deluge was brought upon the old World. Besides, if the Deluge was confin'd to those countries, I do not see but the Borderers might have escap'd, shifting a little into the adjoining places where the Deluge did not reach. But especially what needed so much ado to build an Ark to save Noah and his Family, ...

Van Valen was well known for his Red Queen hypothesis of evolution, named after the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, who spoke of running very hard to stay in the same place, ... Colorado and west Texas, indicating a localised and possibly terrestrial cause [174,187]. On the other hand, there seems to have been a worldwide carbon isotope shift at around this time [188].

... a separation between the waters under the firmament and the waters above the firmament, so I will do for Israel- I will divide the waters for him when he crosses the Red Sea; as on the third day I shall create plants, so I will do for Israel- I will bring forth manna for him in the wilderness; as I ... Adam had asked Him for a helpmate, so that he might not have apparently good reason for reproaching God with having created woman.[80] As Adam tried to shift the blame for his misdeed from himself, so also Eve.
