  • Ethics and Evolution
    ETHICS AND EVOLUTION John Scales Avery December 1, 2017 Introduction In October, 2017, one of the Danish state television channels, DR2, broad- cast two programs about current religious opposition to Darwin’s theory of evolution1. Much of this opposition originated in the United States, and was aimed at preventing the teaching of evolution in schools. The attacks on Darwin’s theory (by now, not a theory but a well-established scientific fact) were twofold. First the claim that it is not true, and secondly, pointing out that historically, Social Darwinism has led to horrible consequences. One of the arguments against the truth of Darwinian evolution is that it violates the second law of thermodynamics, according to which the disorder of the universe always increases with time. How then can life on earth, with its amazing order, be possible? The answer is that the earth is not a closed system. A flood of information- containing free energy reaches the earth’s biosphere in the form of sunlight. Passing through the metabolic pathways of living organisms, this informa- tion keeps the organisms far away from thermodynamic equilibrium, which is death. As the thermodynamic information flows through the biosphere, much of it is degraded to heat, but part is converted into cybernetic infor- mation and preserved in the intricate structures which are characteristic of life. The principle of natural selection ensures that when this happens, the configurations of matter in living organisms constantly increase in complex- ity, refinement and statistical improbability. This is the process which we call evolution, or in the case of human society, progress2.

  • 1. Energy and Power1
    1. Energy and Power1 © John Dawson At the end of the Cretaceous period, the golden age of dinosaurs, an asteroid or comet about 10 miles in diameter headed directly towards the Earth with a velocity of about 20 miles per second, over ten times faster than our speediest bullets. Many such large objects may have come close to the Earth, but this was the one that finally hit. It hardly noticed the air as it plunged through the atmosphere in a fraction of a second, momentarily leaving a trail of vacuum behind it. It hit the Earth with such force that it and the rock near it were suddenly heated to a temperature of over a million degrees Centigrade, several hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun. Asteroid, rock, and water (if it hit in the ocean) were instantly vaporized. The energy released in the explosion was greater than that of a hundred million megatons of TNT, 100 teratons, more than ten thousand times greater than the total U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. Before a minute had passed, the expanding crater was 60 miles across and 20 miles deep. It would soon grow even larger. Hot vaporized material from the impact had already blasted its way out through most of the atmosphere to an altitude of 15 miles. Material that a moment earlier had been glowing plasma was beginning to cool and condense into dust and rock that would be spread worldwide. Few people are surprised by the fact that an asteroid, the size of Mt. Everest, could do a lot of damage when it hits the Earth.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron the CROMLECHERS
    REHEAPA Vernal Equinox 2012 By Lee A. Breakiron THE CROMLECHERS In the premiere issue of Cromlech: The Journal of Robert E. Howard Criticism, dated spring 1985, editor Marc A. Cerasini states: What you hold in your hand is a labor of love as well as one of necessity, for there exist many gross misconceptions about the nature of Howard’s work. For too long phrases like “ mere adventure writer” and “simple headlong narrative drive” have been passed off as genuine criticism of Howard’s works. … Robert E. Howard was more, much more, than a better•than-average pulp hack. At his worst he was quite bad ̶ but an artist must be judged by his best efforts, and Howard was, above all, an artist. [1] Perhaps so, but the journal was subtitled “a pulp thriller and political journal” on its title page, so evidentally Cerasini did not intend to shy away from controversy, though it would prove to be more philosophical than political. Incidentally, a “cromlech” is a prehistoric megalithic monument like a dolmen or a stone circle, a reference doubtless meant to evoke fantastic visions of prehistory, as well as Crom, god of the ancient Cimmerians. So began a three-issue run of the fanzine Cromlech, a semi-pro zine that was the first to exclusively feature serious, scholarly articles about Howard. It helped fill the void for serious fans after the Howard Boom of the 1970s, whose expiration has been attributed to a market glut and a lack of unpublished Howard [2], but which had more to do with the Conan pastiches of L.

  • The Lost Continent
    The Lost Continent by Cutcliffe Hyne The Lost Continent PREFATORY: THE LEGATEES OF DEUCALION We were both of us not a little stiff as the result of sleeping out in the open all that night, for even in Grand Canary the dew-fall and the comparative chill of darkness are not to be trifled with. For myself on these occasions I like a bit of a run as an early refresher. But here on this rough ground in the middle of the island there were not three yards of level to be found, and so as Coppinger proceeded to go through some sort of dumb-bell exercises with a couple of lumps of bristly lava, I followed his example.
