... scientists the astronomers have abrogated to themselves the topmost place, that of the high priests, and nobody challenges them. All agree that no natural science is as exact as astronomy. The astronomers, with few exceptions, jealously guard this privileged position and look down on geologists, chemists, and biologists as class B scientists.

333. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... frenzied rush toward civilization was driven by the urge to honor and to relive a remembered celestial drama. This is why the identifications of the gods as planets in the first astronomies is the key. All that is necessary is a willingness to explore possibilities denied by modern scientific theory or, I should say, denied by the suppositions or guesses ... events- global catastrophes, cometary intruders, natural spectacles in the sky. Examples would include Victor Clube and William Napier, (3 ) Fred Hoyle, and the Australian astronomer Duncan Steele, all of whom have resorted to references in myth to substantiate the ancient experience of cosmic catastrophe.

... difficulty convincing others about their discoveries. Anthony Aveni, a leading archaeoastronomer, has noted for example, that people generally are "quite reluctant to believe ancient man's knowledge of astronomy." HORUS seeks to avoid this class of prejudice. Too much evidence for ancient complex systems of geometry, measurement, and astronomical observation has come to fight in ... remains. The most common story is that they were royal tombs built by great Pharaohs as personal memorials. Because of the technical skills required to build them and their apparent astronomical orientations, others argue that ancient knowledge and sophistication in geometry, measurement, and astronomical observation were enshrined for posterity. Still others have proposed a more mystical meaning- ...

... . The prolific publicist Paul Davies has received a lucrative prize for his services in bringing science and religion together. They were never really parted [6 ]. Arp believes astronomy has become as dogmatic as the medieval church: it rejects conflicting evidence. Like a modern day Galileo [7 ] he has had academics refusing to look through the ... the Koran rather than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it would be treated as a preposterous myth' [1 ] .

... (Physical-Mathematical Series). Ambartsumyan quoted the following passage from the relevant paper by Vsekhsvyatskii: "The existence of active ejection processes in the Jupiter system, demonstrated by comet astronomy, gives grounds for assuming that Jupiter is encircled by comet and meteorite material in the form of a ring similar to the ring of Saturn."

The uneventfulness of the history of the solar system is an assumption on which astronomers have ... only so long as scientific judgements of plausibility are not too often badly mistaken."

If his theory should prove to be valid, not only astronomy but history and a good many of the anthropological and social sciences would need to be reconsidered both for their content and explanation. If it should not prove to be ... one of the few leaders of the American intellectual establishment to publicly support Velikovsky's activities.
