... secondary sources to justify it (see Artapanus below), Secondly, an earthquake is moth unlikely to selectively kill off the firstborn. To get around this, V replaces the word firstborn' (bkhor) by the word chosen' (bchor), and thus interprets Exodus as saying that the flower of Egypt' were smitten by the catastrophe. Thirdly, an earthquake would be most unlikely to affect the Egyptians but net the Israelites (see Ex.12:l3). V explains this by saying that the Israelites' houses were of a different construction to, and more resilient than, those of the Egyptians. So then, V's interpretation of the 10th plague requires ...
22. Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XIII:1 (Jan 1991) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophic Theory of Mountain Uplifts (A Crustal Deformation Theory)Donald W. Patten and Samuel R. Windsor Introduction Astronomers, geographers, geologists and others search for a theory that addresses the causation of mountains. Mountain ranges, mountain systems, mountain cycles, volcanoes, and basaltic outflows all cast shadows over a culture unable to explain their existence. The origin of mountain ranges, mountain systems, volcanoes, etc., comes under the general term "crustal deformation." Other like terms are "mountain uplifts," and "orogeny." Most of the ideas suggested for crustal ...
23. Science-Fiction and Collective Amnesia: "Dragon's Egg" [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 1 (Fall 1982) Home | Issue Contents Science-Fiction and Collective Amnesia: "Dragon's Egg"Richard J. Jaarsma In Mankind in Amnesia, Immanuel Velikovsky suggests that writers of drama, fiction, and poetry sometimes unconsciously make explicit reference to the great natural catastrophes that, Velikovsky claims, have swept our planet in ancient historical times. He cites, as some examples, passages from Shakespeare, Byron, and Poe which describe not only the events themselves but the unbearable terror such events caused in those who were subjected to them.(1 ) Fiction, Velikovsky asserts, gives us a way of "handling", "tolerating ...

... 45- Other References to the Midrash & Talmud p.321Section 46- Michael and Gabriel p.325Section 47- Lucifer 5 p.353Notes and Corrections for Part 4 Introductory Remarks. By way of an introduction to this part of my essay I offer the reader a novel dual- hypothesis that bears useful comparison with V's dual-hypothesis of global catastrophism and collective amnesia. My own hypothesis is as follows: first, that Shakespeare had an obsession with the colour yellow; second, that he was embarrassed by his obsession and tried as far as possible to suppress it, disguise it, and ultimately hide' from it. There is a great deal of evidence' for the first ...
25. Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2005 (Sep 2005) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth Trevor Palmer Historical Perspective Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the gradualistic paradigm, championed in the previous century by Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin, had seemed beyond challenge. As envisaged by Darwin, biological evolution proceeded in a slow and stately fashion, through the mechanism of natural selection. As he himself put it, It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinising, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and ...

The result was a day of highly informative lectures and debates. One especially encouraging feature was ...

28. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIVE The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age * (* A paper presented at the IX Congress of the International Union of Prehistorical and Protohistorical Sciences, Nice, 1976.) Catastrophes are defined as large-scale intensive natural disasters. All the world's religions are founded upon original catastrophes. Indeed, so obsessive is the connection between catastrophes and gods, that human cultures, even the most scientifically advanced ones, refused to turn over the study of catastrophes to science. As a result, science and scientific history made their way after 1840 in defiance of the very idea of catastrophes, that is ...

... From: Aeon II:6 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Cosmic Catastrophism (1 ) William Stiebing Jr.A large comet or asteroid hurtles through space on a collision course with the earth. As the impact nears, the earth is racked by cataclysms: Volcanoes erupt simultaneously; earthquakes shatter what was once firm land; mountain-high tidal waves destroy continents and change the earth's topography. A science fiction plot? Not according to many authors who have presented a similar scenario as historical fact over the years. A supposed collision or near-collision between earth and an asteroid, comet, or planet in ancient times has been used variously as the explanation for the destruction of Atlantis ( ...

Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter were sequentially drawn into essentially the orbits they now occupy. The outer satellites of some ...
