... revolutions'), the eminent evolutionary biologist, Ernst Mayr, had this to say in his major historical work, The Growth of Biological Thought: It is often stated that his firm adherence to Christianity precluded a belief in evolution, but a careful study of Cuvier's work does not support this interpretation... He nowhere refers to the Bible in scientific argument, and his own interpretation of the past history is frequently in conflict with scripture. Thus he accepts several floods before the Mosaic one and states that there was no animal life in the early history of the earth. Cuvier never used the marvels of the world to demonstrate the existence and benevolence of the creator, as ...
372. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days."8 Other rabbinical sources indicate that wind and darkness endured for seven days and "on the fourth, fifth and sixth days, the darkness was so dense that they could not stir from their place."9 The rabbinical source says seven days, and the Bible three, but the rabbinical source does say three days of intense darkness, so the records may not be all that dissimilar. Also, there could be some confusion as to whether a dark day and a dark night might be called two dark days. The Egyptian source said nine days, but it is difficult to measure exactly if ...
373. Behold Thy Gods, O Israel Jeroboam and the Israelite Revolution [Journals] [Kronos]
... of Israel with Jeroboam as King; and within five years Rehoboam's rump Judean kingdom was to suffer a crushing military defeat at the hands of Pharaoh Thutmosis III. Solomon's treasures were carted off to Egypt in the fifth regnal year of his heir.(2 ) Not surprisingly, Jeroboam was to be ill-used by the authors and expounders of the Bible - to the point that today his name survives only to mark the size of a champagne bottle half as large as that credited to his rival, Rehoboam. Yet an objective consideration should make clear that Jeroboam (whose name, incidentally, meaning "he who quarrels on behalf of the people",(3 ) may well have ...
374. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology Revised [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Mitanni in Mesopotamia follow the Old Akkadians (or Old Assyrians) just as the Mitanni in Israel or Syro-Phoenicia follow the Hyksos. It is, thus, not archeological discoveries but, preconceived chronologies which are responsible for assigning different dates to contemporary strata. Even the best archeologists tend to forget that they are confronted with two different dating techniques (Bible fundamentalist and pseudo-astronomical) and may, therefore, add one to the other in sites located halfway between Mesopotamia and the West. For example, Leonard Woolley, who detected the above mentioned pre-Mitanni Hyksos (stratum VII) in Alalakh, also wanted to accommodate the Old Akkadians in strata of the same tell and could only do so by ...
375. Limitations of Astronomical Dating Methods* [Journals] [Kronos]
... of being able to cope with the problems of ancient chronology once separated from the fundamental source of truth. We are reminded of the ridicule which has been so freely heaped upon Ussher, the Biblical chronologist of some three centuries ago, who made the error of imposing unsound theories onto what was otherwise a brilliant piece of work. Realizing that Bible chronology logically led him to a date approximating 4000 B.C . for Creation, he theorized that the elapsed time from Creation to the appearance of the promised Messiah must be exactly 4000 years. Noting that the birth of Christ had, in error, been placed four years too late, he set the date for Creation in exact ...
376. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... warning against disobedience to the Celestial God or His Earthly Vicars. The presently dominant ideology, Humanistic Evolutionism, knows no abrupt changes in the natural order, no interplanetary cataclysms, only slow evolution over huge aeons of geological time, brought about by processes still proceeding uniformly as they did millions of years ago. Nature makes no leaps. The Bible stories are obviously but primitive myths, no more significant than the old-wives-tales of any other primitive culture. No scientist should give them a thought except perhaps to reduce them to familiar events like eclipses, overflowing rivers, and the equinoctial precession – that is, to historical triviality. The problem of destruction-myths, however, is not evaded so ...

378. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... other fields, of course. III. A third large area of fuel for debate would be the humanities. There are many fields here and my breakdown of the fields cannot be very logical. Is costuming a field? Where did clothing originate, or the helmets we have been talking of? Clothing was born of disaster, says the Bible, of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, which may have corresponded to a tilting of the earth's axis and the coming of cold seasons. Certainly mythology is a humanistic field. It seems odd to me that no contemporary school. of mythology, except of course the revolutionary school of which I speak, admits to the reality ...
379. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... placed Delphic oracle had lost its influence; he gave the vaguest of references indicating a failure of electric current, but the question itself is significant [12]. By late classical times, the knowledge of arks and of the exploitation of "god's fire" was largely defunct. Yahweh became "invisible", who before, declares the Bible, could be seen in flaming display upon the Ark of Moses. So later philosophers gave new meanings to words: realities became metaphors and abstractions; thus, the "word" and "presence" of the divine became thoughts, rather than the noises and signs of electrical divinity. The profuse electrical references in the Bible, in ...
380. The Changed Calendar: Evidence for a Neat Year of 365 Days [Journals] [SIS Review]
... work days. The rules relating to the continuing observance of the Sabbath are integral to these instructions. These rules are the second set of Sabbath rules; the first were in honour of the creation but these second rules were as a memorial of the Passover and thus have Venus implications. The instructions are not obvious as they stand in the Bible but require scheduling to be fully appreciated. Once that scheduling is done the beauty and simplicity of the instructions become apparent and, for our intentions, most illuminating. We must be aware and appreciate that these instructions must have worked successfully. Quite often in the Bible the Jews are exhorted to follow The Law of Moses'. This ...
