... . The "stakes are inordinately high," he commented (4 ). They are "inordinately high" because Ages in Chaos may well be one of the most important contributions to our understanding of the past ever made. NOTES 1. D. N. Freedman, in G. E. Wright (ed.): The Bible and the Ancient Near East (London, 1961), p. 207. 2. I am thinking here of some comments of R. G. A. Dolby in "On Schools of Thought", SISR I:3 , p. 28, discussing the possibility of a new paradigm sharing community of scholars interested in Velikovsky's ...
312. The New Orthodoxy's Respect for Fact [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... The Gould Housekeeping Seal of Approval. He only in part approves of the Rev Thomas Burnet (17th cent.) who was not, "of course, a scientist in any modern sense of the term".(15) (He approves of Burnet's attempt to rationalize the geology of his day, but not of his invoking the Bible as history.) "He performed no experiments", chides Gould, "and he made no observations of rocks and fossils" (sound familiar?). "He used a method of pure' (we would say armchair) reason.... Likewise, his procedure is followed by no modern scientist that I know ...

... in which Khnum told him that the "Nile will pour forth for thee, without a year of cessation or laxness for any land." Also "The starvation year will have gone and the (people's) borrowing from their graneries will have departed." In the last chapters of Genesis in the Torah, the Old Testament of the Bible, there is an account of seven years of famine in Egypt. Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob (Israel) was sold into slavery by his brothers and was taken to Egypt where he served an officer of the pharaoh. He spurned his master's wife and wound up in prison. Later, he had occasion to interpret dreams ...
314. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... one strand in Christianity; a Judaic strand of effort and acknowledgment of continuous moral dilemma has always existed too. Elizabeth Gaudry denies that the Exodus catastrophe was repressed by mankind, apart from the Israelites. Here she disagrees with Velikovsky, who writes of a "collective amnesia". Disaster was coded into mythical encounters between gods. Only the Bible gives something approaching an historical account. [Elizabeth Gaudry's letter suggests otherwise; we should be interested to have more information on the Mutwa book. - Ed.] Moses as a horn-god cannot be accepted on the basis of medieval pictures of Moses with horns, which have a very simple explanation. They were based on Jerome's translation of ...
315. Propaganda And Scientific History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ; but they are proofs, not so much of the peculiar deficiency of the institution, as of the imperfect state of science at that time, and the manner in which knowledge, though rapidly extending, was still impeded in its progress by monastic bigotry.... [During the debate] Columbus was assailed with citations from the Bible and the Testament: the book of Genesis, the psalms of David, the orations of the Prophets, the epistles of the apostles, and the gospels of the Evangelists. To these were added expositions of various saints and reverend commentators: St. Chrysostom and St. Augustine, St. Jerome and St. Gregory, St. ...

317. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... mentioned ten times. The Hebrew State was a land of shepherds and farmers. The vegetation might have been more luxurious than in our days, but there were no appreciable mineral resources. Israel, in fact, had very few valuable goods to offer in exchange for the great amounts of gold and other precious things obtained from Ophir. The Bible mentions that King David possessed Ophir gold in his earlier days, but Ophir must have been a rather virgin land where the value of gold and precious stones was relatively unknown. Thus Ophir could not have been in China or India, where gold mines had been exploited from an early age. It is curious that none of the authors ...

... , and across both continents. He quotes the Gothic Surt of the flaming sword, "He shall give up the universe a prey to the flames," and also the Algonquins, whose god "will stamp his foot upon the ground, and flames will burst forth to consume the habitable land."[5 ] Job of the Bible hears from a retainer that "the fire of God is fallen from heaven and hath burned up the sheep [to the number of 7000], and the servants, and consumed them, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." (In our days cases of a score or more animals being electrocuted by a lightning ...
319. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Second Intermediate Period, The Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage, contained remarkable parallels to the "plagues" described in the biblical account of the Exodus provided the basis for a far-reaching re-alignment of the histories of Israel and Egypt. Viewed dispassionately, the histories of these two peoples, placed side by side, present a puzzling picture. The Bible abounds in references to Egypt covering over a millennium: Abraham's visit and his dealings with Pharaoh, the descent into Egypt under Joseph, the sojourn and enslavement, the Exodus, the friendly relations with Egypt established under Solomon, the invasions of Shishak and Zerah, and so on. Egypt and Palestine were close neighbours, and contacts between ...
