... ssf?/xml/story.ssf/html_standard.xsl?/base/news/10171386732757439.xml Article on 26 March 2002 by John Mangels and Scott Stephens: "Pierre-Marie Robitaille and Stephen Meyer don't trust scientific method. [. .] "Their profession requires that new ideas face off against existing theories in a Roman Colosseum ruled by fellow scientists. Challengers to scientific orthodoxy vie for acceptance, grant money and notoriety, with anonymous panels of scientists determining winners and losers, thumbs up or down. It is a brutal but effective system called peer review that has driven a century of progress. "Unless, of course, you're locked out of the ...
402. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... subjects, this paper gives a timely warning of how a major error of interpretation of the role of a lingua franca may affect views on the languages spoken by ancient cultures, their evolution and chronological relationship. Marold presents a well-argued case that Latin was simply the language of one small group in Italy which became the necessary lingua franca of the Roman Empire and continued in its written form long after the empire had collapsed due to the vagaries of education. It never replaced the languages of the natives of the rest of Italy, Spain and France and therefore the Romance languages did not develop from Latin but are simply sister languages to it.

403. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) ) Another similarity between the Mesoamerican Morning Star and Old World Mars concerns the spear. Thus, in Mesoamerica, the spear is usually associated with the Morning Star, (88) and the spearing of victims took place at the appearance of the Morning Star with the dawning Sun at 584-day intervals. (89) But, in the Roman world, the spear, or lance, was associated with the Martian deity. According to Varro, as also Plutarch, the oldest cult image of the Roman Mars was an upright lance, (90) which weapon was originally addressed as the god incarnate. (91) To this might be added the negative evidence that, unless ...

... aphelion, and when there, Mars penetrated well into the region of asteroids. Paired Orbit Intersections. Since the orbits of Mars and the Earth are, and were, coplanar, there were two orbit intersection locations, not one. One orbit crossroads was October 24 and the other was March 21, the historic Passover of Judaism. Early Romans of the 8th century B.C . called March 21 their "tubulustrium" (day of trouble), and they called October 24 their "armilustrium" (day of alarms). The early Hebrews called October 24 "The Day of the Lord," very much dreaded, like their Passover. Mars Orbit Period. The ...

... However, after heavy floods, it is a fresh water lake, with a maximum depth of 15 m, if filled up to the thresholds. At the natural playa outlet during pluvial periods, from an archaeological point of view, a very rich site was found with signs of a perhaps continuous settlement from 9000 B.C . to Roman times, uncommon for the Capisien culture (Balout, 1955; Larsson and Franzen, in press). The sediment sequence at the playa centre shows that the most abrupt transition from aridity to very humid conditions at 1000 B.C ., was followed by a very long lake stage. The lower lake stage sediments of this event ...

... 1995, p.34: ". .. in the summer of 1994, using two aircraft flying about 50 kilometres apart, they [Davis Sentman and Eugene Wescott of the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks] caught the first colour videos of sprites at work. The flashes look like the Fourth of July, like Roman candles with fountains," says Sentman. Observing the same sprites from two different directions allowed Sentman and Wescott to work out their altitudes and dimensions for the first time. Prior to that other groups had speculated they go up to 40 kilometres, maybe 50, tops," Sentman recalls. "It was stretching the imagination too far ...

... as well as of the Tyrol, the Bavarian Alps, and around the Jura, were flooded twice in catastrophic surges of water (Hochwasser katastrophen), and the cause lay in tectonic movements and in the sudden melting of glaciers. It happened in the post-glacial period, the last time actually in the historical age, not long before the Romans started to spread into those parts of the world.12 Gams and Nordhagen also presented extensive material to show that the tectonic disturbances were accompanied not only by high-water catastrophes but also by climatic changes. They undertook a close examination of the pollen content of peat bogs. Since the pollen of each species of tree is characteristic, it is ...

... who wanted to prove that the Earth was moving and revolving rather than heaven or the whole firmament, Sun and Moon...this fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside down. But as the Holy Scripture testifies, Joshua ordered the Sun to stand still, not the Earth!" Along with his rebellion against the Roman Church, he spurned the revolutionary of the starry sky.
