... rocks and water being splashed upon the Moon by a cometary impact has been posited by geologist Harold Urey [7 ]- the first mechanism to look for is a space intruder. The stripped-down area is today occupied in part by the land that pushed into it. Conventional continental drift theory only lends confusion. But D.V . Wise writes, "Many positions of drifting or accreting continents eliminate any a priori condition to find the scar of separation on our present Earth, although if a navel' must be located, the Pacific basin is as good a spot as any." [8 ] The west coast ranges of Northern America have some formation similar to the east ...

343. An Athena Production [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the story, and in the person of Odysseus, was the honored member of its audience. "I am Pallas Athene, Daughter of Zeus, who always stands by your side and guards you through all your adventures," she reminds Odysseus at one point. Odysseus's name means "troublemaker" or better "the inveterate troublemaker." Writes George Dimock, "In the Odyssey odyssasthai means essentially to cause pain (odynė) and to be willing to do so. '" [2 ] In her unruffled and sanguine way, often behind the scenes, Athena is the world's greatest troublemaker, as we shall soon learn. Though she is a mistress of disguises, Athena ...
... by "wrong." "Foolish" is an expression of value, of opinion; as it stands, the second sentence is not really the admission of fallibility that it purports to be but, rather, reinforces the author's contention that all these ideas are indeed foolish now, in the light of what is known at the time he writes- that only fools believe them, that one is a fool if one believes. Yet the author admits that some of these ideas may turn out to be right after all. He says, in effect, that he himself knows what is compelling evidence and what is not, and that it is foolish to entertain ideas that have ...
345. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... may be that he had fifteen Sibyls in mind as their authors- and fortunately used a relatively good type of text.27 He preserves to us four books the interest of which is largely political: XI., Christian book based on V. 1-51 and somewhat later in date than 226 a.d .; 28XII., a Jewish writing of the time of Alexander Severus, edited by a Christian hand; XIII., a Christian book earlier than 265 a.d ., and XIV., also Christian but not earlier than the fourth century. Books I. -VIII. contain all the earlier matter, and nearly all that is of specifically religious interest. ...

... in Princeton with good material on the scientific establishment... Cosmogonist... They suppressed his books." "What do you mean, suppressed his books ?" "They smeared him." "Like Reich? Like Semmelweis?" "Yes." "What does he do?" "He lives here. He writes." "About what?" "Mythology, astronomy, the Bible, ancient catastrophes." "What does he live on?" "His books. They are very well sold." "That's not our topic." "No. The ABS could take up the sociological side. It's rich." Deg was ...

... regularly sailed to Egypt and he continued: "As to this Sidon, the other place which you have passed, aren't there fifty more ships which are in commercial relations with Werket-El, and which are drawn up to his house?" Werket-El or Birkath-El "was apparently a Phoenician merchant resident in Egypt, trading particularly with Sidon," writes the translator of the text.[5 ] The name is an important clue and we shall return to it after relating the rest of that conversation between Zakar-Baal and Wenamon and the events that followed. The prince said indignantly that "If the ruler of Egypt were the lord of mine" he could ask for a gift. But ...
348. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dreams which have cosmic content. Patients often express inner disturbance in symbolism involving Cosmic Catastrophe: it is possible that some of these dreams cannot be explained in terms of personal memories, in which case they may be evidence for racial memories imprinted during past global cataclysms experienced by mankind. "The fourth paper, by WILLIAM MULLEN, compares apocalyptic writings from the Old and New World. These writings suggest that society is restructured after a catastrophe. The survivors seek stability through worship of what they think is an appropriate deity and through ritual activities. When another apocalypse is imminent, a new religion emerges or old religions are altered in an attempt to avert the impending disaster. Mullen shows ...

... community did not like what they were saying, especially a chapter on the foundations of relativity theory where they showed that the usual accounts of two famous early experiments were by no means as decisive as they were cracked up to be. Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch report that the reaction to this was more anger than scientific curiosity'. They write about the effortless superiority of a knowledge aristocracy' and how the less temperate reactions to The Golem reveal how deeply embedded that attitude is among an important and vocal group of scientists'.

350. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , I described how historians of science such as Anthony Hallam, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Huggett and Claude Albritton Jr. had, over the previous decade, demolished the prevailing myth of a dichotomy between scientific uniformitarianism and unscientific catastrophism. It was therefore somewhat surprising to find, a year later, the respected science journalist, Roger Lewin, writing: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the great French geologist and naturalist Baron Georges Cuvier proposed what came to be known as the Catastrophe theory, or Catastrophism. According to the theory, the abrupt faunal changes geologists saw in rock strata were the result of periodic devastations that wiped out all or most extant species, each successive ...
