		<description>Velikovsky even noted that the science was for moving the dino discoveries further into the past as not to conflict with the age of humans.  We note this has been a success into the 20th century.  

As the electric universe (W Thornhill) has gained traction by predicting the &#039;ribbon&#039; at the edge of the solar system, the question now is:  

If our Earth heated up 1/2 billion years ago, and has subsequently undergone 4 separate continental rives/merges with the accompanying 4 separate heating events/ice ages, when/how will we end this cycle?  

Is our Z pinch until the Earth fragments?

Is the time between cycles ---- 150 million years  ---- all the time current intelligence has to gain spaceflight and escape?  And consider that the cycles may be at an end.</description>

		<description>Just read a book from the early 1950s called Earth in Upheaval by Immanuel Velikovsky in which he itemizes all the wrong things found in the wrong places. His timeframe is much different and controversial, but...remains of elephants and tigers in Britain, unexpected finds in the far north, Lake Titicaca with a prehistoric tilted shoreline, etc etc are listed as examples of catastrophic events on earth. 
Naturally, Velikovsky was ridiculed at the time by scientists when he discussed catastrophic events on earth, including massive tidal waves sweeping everything in their path to new locations, because the mentality at the time was of the &#039;evolutionary slow change&#039;.
But then, even the idea of the Sudbury Crater event of 2 billion years ago was ridiculed by scientists in the 1960s too, and in the early 20th century, the tectonic theory of Wegener was laughed at.
Also check out his Worlds in Collision for predictions such as Venus being hot (scientists said it would be cold); it was later confirmed that Venus was as hot as 600 degress.
Ideas lead, science follows.</description>

		<description>Is it possible that some dinosaurs migrated north after the comet strike that supposedly wiped them out in search of food?</description>

		<description>I know Tom Rich. I thought, as did everyone else involved in Alaska palentology, that he was a loon. But hey--it worked (sort of)! More power to the man, and I hope the team finds some good skeletal material after decades of bits &#039;n&#039; pieces tumbling down the slope of the Colville.

And yes, the animations were absolutely mind-numbingly horrifying.</description>
