At the end of the Pleistocene a Younger Dryas black mat was deposited on top of the Pleistocene sediments in many parts of North America. A study of the magnetic fraction (~10,900±50 B.P.) from the basal section of the black mat at Murray Springs, AZ revealed the presence of amorphous iron oxide framboids in [...]
A friend of the Tusk sent me a fascinating website, The Meaning of the Vedas, stating the hypothesis of Mr. Ravindra Vasudeo Godbole that the origin of the ancient Vedic oral literature of India and Pakistan was the trauma of repeated bombardments from the Taurid cometary debris stream (so well described by Bill Napier and blogged here on the [...]
The titles for the talks and posters at the upcoming INQUA session, The Enigmatic Younger Dryas, have been posted for some time. Typical of scientific conferences, the narrative abstract revealing the findings (or musings) of the presenter is posted later, a few weeks before the conference. The abstracts for the conference have now been published. Here again [...] From: http://home.swbell.net/a1star1/ A mythical monster, usually represented as a large reptile with wings and claws, breathing out fire and smoke. (Webster’s New World Dictionary) There are dragon or serpent monster myths found in practically every culture on Earth (for simplicity, I will refer to serpent monsters as dragons). Usually in these myths, the dragons were capable of great [...] [...] Vance Holliday and others in this email exchange have kindly allowed me to post their chatter to the Tusk.I will clean it up later. But for now – here you go…..

Has anyone on The Impact Team critically looked at their own data? Questioned their hypothesis? Isn’t that was science is about? And are we really expected to believe that Vance Haynes can’t find the Black Mat??? I guess I could just as easily say to you “Fortunately science is not based on opinions but instead on measurements. Dozens of scientists bringing unique skills to the subject have provided an enormous amount of experimental data providing no support for the idea of an impact at the onset of the YDB. A few, highly biased scientists threw together some slipshod experiments to support their hypothesis.†I must confess to growing very weary of unsubstantiated accusations of incompetence, slipshod science, and bias toward everyone who doesn’t buy or who presents data contrary to the YD Impact Hypothesis. All of the people who tested the hypothesis and came up wanting or those who tried to reproduce the data are just trying to figure out what is going on. I know many of them. All are highly respected in their various fields. None had any biases or agendas that I am aware of. What is your basis for calling them “highly biasedâ€? On what basis do you decide that their experiments are “slipshodâ€? Because their data don’t confirm yours??? |
