... more general consequences, however, would seem to lie in the very dubious claim that the tablets are essentially only an early example of science fiction writing, intended to serve astrological purposes. That the observations were used for astrological purposes is as good as certain, but any suggestion that they represent a deliberate mis-statement of observable phenomena is plainly unsustainable ... ', Transactions of the Americal Philosophical Society 71:5 (Philadelphia, 1981) 18.

393. USGS versus Fringe [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... curious facts are related, some of them quite thought-provoking. For instance, the rules sometimes prescribed for the cutting of the dowsing twig "partook largely of heathen sorcery and astrology"; in 1659 the divining rod was denounced by a Jesuit as an instrurnent of the devil, and in 1701 a decree against it was issued by the Holy ... John Derr said"), and the final remark that a theory of earthquake lights could possibly be useful for earthquake prediction is made to sound as if it were an apology for the News Release. I also wonder whether anybody in the USGS office was thinking of the past 50 years of research by Forleans (see for instance Fort, ...
394. A Hypothetical Ancient Telescope [Journals] [Horus]
... are certain and sure examples. Since less than ten percent of the writings of the ancient world survive, it is likely there are many more examples of lost discoveries. Archaeological evidence from Pompeii shows that the ancient Romans used water-filled glass globes to magnify words on manuscripts. Later, and independently, the tailors and seamstresses of the Pennsylvania Harmonite ... Venus in the crescent phase. There are other astronomical observations of the ancient world which seem to require telescopes, and undoubtedly more will surface. In Ptolemy's Quadripartite, an astrological text, we find references to the Praesepe cluster which is difficult to see as individual stars, without a telescope. Objection might be raised to the telescope theory, ...

The Destruction of Atlantis "There is at long intervals a variation in the course of the heavenly bodies and a consequent wide-spread destruction by fire of things on ... Isaac Asimov, employing warmed-over Gardner and a patronizing attitude, did the same in 1969 (8 ). The intervening years witnessed significant and relevant developments in the field of Atlantology, however, which Gardner and Asimov failed to avow.
