202. A Cosmic Debate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . I attach the word "cosmic" to the debate with three meanings. First, as I have implied, it is cosmic in that all fields of knowledge are involved. Second, I must have reference to something of great importance, else why call it "cosmic"? Third, the subject will have something to do with cosmology - the nature of the earth, the skies and humanity. Also, the processes of cosmic change, creation and destruction, and the rate at which great changes occur. There remain then the words "coming debate." Debate requires two sides that are determined to confront one another on rational grounds. I must state that the ...

204. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Fallen Sky (Lethbridge, Can.: Lethbridge U. Press, 1978). INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION Alfred de Grazia, 1966 In 1950, a book called Worlds in Collision, by Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, gave rise to a controversy in scientific and intellectual circles about scientific theories and the sociology of science. Dr Velikovsky's historical and cosmological concepts, bolstered by his acknowledged scholarship, constituted a formidable assault on certain established theories of astronomy, geology and historical biology, and on the heroes of those sciences. Newton, himself, and Darwin were being challenged, and indeed the general orthodoxy of an ordered universe. The substance of Velikovsky's ideas is briefly presented in the first ...
205. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sky is sometimes delineated as a well of water and sometimes also by a stream of water. Interestingly, meteorites are also said to be made of the same word [34], thereby linking the ring phenomenon with the meteoroid fall. Understandably, the principal river in the sky for the Egyptians was the Nile. I have already related cosmological concepts of the Nile together with the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Still another concept was that the Nile appears through two subterranean passages leading from the underworld [35]. These two sources of the Nile are called leaper' and spouter'. The names have come down to us in the Old Testament in that two of the four ...
... metals, appeared in the heavens. And from it a stone' was cut out without any visible agency, whereupon the whole image soon crumbled into pieces. These the wind carded away like the chaff of the summer threshing floors'. And the stone became a great mountain, and filled the whole Earth'. Significantly enough the greatest cosmological book of the Bible, the Revelation of John, contains the words: A door was opened in heaven. ' This heaven', ouranos, is descriptive of the great covering' disk of the Tertiary satellite. The word thyra, door', stands for any kind of opening or hole. The third important account, and ...
207. The Organization of the Solar System, Part II: A Galactic Capture Hypothesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... Earth (and the other planets) as gyroscopes, such might have opened the door to their understanding that the planet spin rates were created in pairs, two by two, just like the creation of the animals as stated in Genesis, though significantly earlier. Even as the poles are equidistant from the equator, we judge these two adversary cosmologies both to be similarly equidistant from scientific truth. Capture Orbits One of the better things about models is that, while they must conform to the observed data, they are (within limits) flexible, in that model characteristics are adjustable. The calculations for our model assume the Sun to have always had its present mass and volume. ...
208. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... anti-solar point, though Winter' does not mention this. Meanwhile, the Taurid orbit would also have been packed with dust, and would have appeared, it is claimed, as a band inclined to the ecliptic. These belts, it is supposed, are the circles' of the same' and the other' referred to in the cosmology of Timaeus as reported by Plato [70]. As astronomers with an interest in history, Clube and Napier must know that Timaeus was actually giving a perfectly intelligible description of the precursor of the Ptolemaic system. The circle of the same' is the primum mobile imparting the same clockwise 23 hour 56 minute motion on all the stars ...
209. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents 4. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability by Livio C. Stecchini To prove that there are ancient records which document that in recent times the earth underwent a cataclysm of extraterrestrial origin which is precisely described and should be taken into account as an empirical datum by those whose task is to construct astronomical and cosmological theories, I shall quote the opinion of a recognized major authority on Babylonian and biblical astronomy, chronology, and mythology, Father Franz Xavier Kugler (1862-1929). Kugler had a strictly scientific bent of mind. He started his academic career as a university lecturer of chemistry, but, after the death of Joseph Epping (1835-94) ...
210. The Female Star [Journals] [Aeon]
... She is the mother of the Skiri." [45] Among the Pawnee, as among various other peoples, the planet Venus was clearly distinguished from the Morning Star, the latter being identified with the planet Mars and envisaged as a powerful red warrior carrying a club. As a wealth of evidence attests, the central act of Skidi cosmology involved the Martian warrior's close approach and eventual overcoming of the planet Venus. Through their union, Creation unfolded. In summarizing the final events of the Creation myth, Linton states simply that "The Morning Star married the Evening Star." [46] The hieros gamos involving Mars and Venus was periodically reenacted during various sacred rites. ...
