Airing the Damned

"Love was long since represented as blind, and what is true in the personal realm is measurably true in the intellectual realm." -T.C. Chamberlin

Science wants to keep us faithful. Or opinion and discovery that opposes ruling theories, is heretical. So what does the loyal scientist do when confronted with unorthodox data? Homogenize, ignore, damn, forsake. Because if a single human artifact has been squarely located in a layer of rock considered millions of years, a revolution is in order.

 Fact is, there are more than a few. Charles Fort poured over massive amounts of data from science journals and news reports. We decided to air a few of the long excluded:

Location
Finding
Notes and Queries 11-1-408
Copper seal about the size of penny. Found in a layer of chalk at a depth of 5ft. Design: A monk kneeling before a woman and child.
Scientific America 7-298
June 1851, a powerful explosion dislodges a vase made of an unknown metal from a bed of solid rock. Design: Floral with inlaid silver.
Rept.Brit. Assoc. 1845-51
A rusty nail found within sandstone projecting into a layer of "till." Discovered after 20-years of mining.
Pop. Sci. News 1884-41
(Unspecified) Mine
15-year old mine was shown to form quartz crystals. A mill was built near it. It was later torn down, wood with a nail found in sandstone.
Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc. 12-224
Brought up while boring. Un-hammered coin, uniform thickness. Design: "Lion" and a fish. Or, "warrior" (with headdress) and fish.
Chambers Journal 16-364
60-coins spread across counties. One dug up from the Boyne riverbed by workmen. Design: Chinese characters. Animals seated on cubes.
Amer. Jour. Sci., 3-26-139
Well defined giant human footprints in sandstone. Each print is 18-20 inches long. Clear image in the Journal.

William R. Corliss catalogs the subject of anomalous data (from peer reviewed sources) in exhaustive detail. The scientifically minded do well to review Multiple Working Hypotheses presented by T.C. Chamberlin in 1890.
