William R. Corliss is a cataloger of scientific anomalies (observations and facts that challenge prevailing scientific paradigms) and has published many works on the subject.[1] The science journal New Scientist had an article which focused on the career of Mr. Corliss.[2] Science magazine New Scientist wrote regarding Corliss's work: "All I can say to Corliss is carry on cataloging". [3] Since 1976, Corliss has published Science Frontiers, a bimonthly newsletter providing digests of reports that cite and describe scientific anomalies.[1] In regards to the paradigm which theorizes the earth is billions of years old, Corliss's work on geological anomalies catalogues scores of anomalies which challenge the old-earth paradigm.[4]
Corliss wrote 13 books for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a dozen educational booklets for the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), and a dozen articles for the National Science Foundation (NSF). [5]
Corliss has degrees in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (B.S., 1950) and the University of Colorado (M.S., 1953). Corliss is also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Society for Scientific Exploration. He lives in Glen Arm, Maryland, USA, where the Sourcebook Project is located. [1]
William Corliss wrote the following regarding paraconformities:
| “ | Potentially more important to geological thinking are those unconformities that signal large chunks of geological history are missing, even though the strata on either side of the unconformity are perfectly parallel and show no evidence of erosion. Did millions of years fly by with no discernible effect? A possible though controversial inference is that our geological clocks and stratigraphic concepts need working on.[6] | ” |
