... The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky Duane Vorhees "Catastrophism has in recent years emerged as an interesting and respectable alternative to theories based on a uniformitarian viewpoint of planetary history. While we do not necessarily subscribe to Velikovsky's reconstruction of events in the Solar System within historic times, we do recognize Velikovsky's central contribution in establishing the possible role of catastrophic events as an important aspect of any interpretation of the past .. . We would urge the scientific community, in the best tradition of free inquiry, to pursue with open mind the challenge presented by Velikovsky. Lynn Trainor (Physics Department, Toronto University), McMaster University symposium on Velikovsky, June 17, 1974 Worlds in Collision ...

For Velikovsky it was a Torschlusspanik- a "fear-of-the-closing-of-the-gate".

73. Velikovsky's Dreamwork [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon III:2 (May 1993) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky's Dreamwork Duane Leroy Vorhees See note * below. A physician by training, Velikovsky was the first practicing psychoanalyst in Palestine. He was one of the first, in a specifically psychoanalytic context, to trace some of the ideas in Freud's Interpretation of Dreams back to Jewish notions that predated Freud by many centuries. The article was published in 1933 by the Internationaler Psychoanalytischer Verlag, a publishing house founded under Freud's aegis to promote "true" psychoanalytic doctrines. Like the Bible itself, the Talmud commentary upon the Bible is composed of many books written over a long span of years. One of these ...
74. Scientific American And Owen Gingerich On Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 4 (1997) Home | Issue Contents Scientific American And Owen Gingerich On Velikovsky Charles Ginenthal In the September 1996 issue of Scientific American, Owen Gingerich's "Neptune, Velikovsky, and the Name of the Game," pages 181 and 183, raised criticisms of the late Immanuel Velikovsky that are in serious error. This is yet another episode in the history of Scientific American's attempts to defame Velikovsky and denigrate his work. Typical of the actions of this journal are the following: Scientific American refused to allow an ad for Velikovsky's book, Earth in Upheaval (with which Albert Einstein had been involved).1 Scientific American permitted Harrison Brown ...

... From "Beyond Velikovsky" © 1984 by Henry H. Baue | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Intermezzo In the last four chapters I have outlined the train of thought that led me at last to feel satisfied that I had reached a reasonably objective view of Velikovsky and his work-"objective" in the sense that I began with no preconceptions (other than those inherent in being a scientist) and can point to facts to support my opinions. I summarize those opinions below. Having reached that stage, however, inevitably I was intrigued by questions more far-reaching than "Is Velikovsky right?" I had answered that question to my own satisfaction in about a year of ( ...
78. Immanuel Velikovsky 1895-1979 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol IV No 1 (Autumn 1979) Home | Issue Contents Immanuel Velikovsky 1895-1979 It is with deep regret that we report to members the death on 17th November of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky. Dr Velikovsky was born in Vitebsk, in Byelorussia, the son of businessman and scholar Simon Yeheil Velikovsky, and his early years were spent against the turbulent background of the Czarist Russia of Nicholas II, the Great War and the Russian Revolution. By 1918, Simon Velikovsky's involvement in the struggle to establish a Jewish national home in Palestine brought the family under the surveillance of the newly-established Communist regime's Secret Police and family upheaval followed. As described by Velikovsky: ". ...

From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1995 (Vol XVII) "Proceedings of the SIS 1995 Braziers College Conference" Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Clark Whelton The core of Immanuel Velikovsky's work is deceptively simple, immediately apparent, and easy to overlook, though it is found in the earliest pages of his earliest book. In the preface to Worlds in Collision Velikovsky tells us the essence of what he hopes to accomplish. Can we, out of this polymorphous material, extract historical facts? .. .In a few cases it is impossible to say with certainty whether a record or a tradition refers to one or another catastrophe that took place ...

... 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 (2 ) , the Deluge recorded in Genesis (3 ) , or the miraculous events connected with the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. (4 ) Immanuel Velikovsky has provided the most detailed arguments for such cosmic catastrophism, and his theories have a large and very vocal following among the general public. Worlds in Collision? Immanuel Velikovsky was a medical doctor (with a specialty in psychoanalysis) who also read very widely in the natural sciences, history, and law. In the spring of 1940 ...
