... books- that it was the teaching of Apollo himself.54 An interesting comment on this attitude of Lactantius comes from the East, from Gregory of Nazianzus.55 It is true, he says, that Hermes and the Sibyl are ostensibly on the side of the Cross: yet they are not inspired; they have merely borrowed from the Bible. On the other hand, the influence of Lactantius is clearly seen in one of Constantine's Declamations, the Oratio ad Sanctorum Cœtum,56in which the acrostic of Book VIII. is quoted at length, the authority of the Sibyl is defended in Lactan-tian terms, and the IVth Eclogue is brought in as a prophecy of the Church ( ...
382. Pompous Asimov [Books]
... break away from a religious view, and many of them feel a little guilty about it. It is difficult to feel entirely confident that one might not wake up in Hell some day, shrieking, Oh, my goodness, I was wrong! '" "Then along comes Velikovsky and he tells you that all those miracles in the Bible are literally true . . . . You can go back to believing the Bible! What a relief! What's more, it's all scientific' which makes it all very intelligent." (52) The implication, of course, is that Asimov is an adult free-thinker and, therefore, not a believer in miracles, and he ...
383. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... does not disprove that his main aim was to reconcile astronomy with religion. Newton believed that the astronomical revolution linked with the names of Copernicus and Galileo had destroyed the foundations of religious belief and that it was necessary to return to the medieval world view. He was a biblical fundamentalist who tried to prove, among other points, that the Bible contains prophecies of future history. His interest in science was a byproduct of his effort to prove that even science does not conflict with biblical religion, conceived by him as the medieval synthesis of biblical religion with Platonic-Aristotelian cosmology. The voluminous unpublished works of Newton deal with many topics from alchemy to politics, but theology has the lion's share ...
384. A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Gigantism and Longevity [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... theory of evolution. Many evolutionary traditionalists will dislike our attitude on uniformitarian doctrine, the motto of which is " 'the present is the key to the past." Too, a large number of well-educated readers whose concepts have been formed by humanism will instinctively dismiss writers who, for earth-history purposes, take ancient literature seriously, especially the Bible and its associated Hebrew sources, such as the historian Josephus. Facts and lucid logic will determine if these objections or reservations are legitimate or not; what is certain, however, is that the only just objections are those based on fact, rather than ideological criticism. The authors are extremely wary of such canonical objections, and with ...
385. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of "logos" as being of absolutely equal value. Quite apart from this, I am not convinced, as Derek Douglass seems to be, that fairy tales can be presented as myth. What have fairy tales to do with Biblical allegories? Fairy tales never occupy themselves with religion, gods or angels, least of all with the Bible. They are of a more earthly level and deal with natural forces and products of the primary psyche. As a non-baptised person who has never been indoctrinated in any particular religious theory, belief or opinion, I was very surprised to be accused of "paying lip-service to the sacredness of the Biblical text". My original interest in ...
386. An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... postulated by the "revised (! ) revised chronology" could also be pointed out, but here I will stop. 1. Velikovsky argues a 6th-century date for Merenptah in Ramses II and His Time, Chapter vii: "The Israel Stele of Merenptah and the Lamentations of Jeremiah". 2. K. A. Kitchen in New Bible Dictionary (London, 1962), p. 215. 3. Israel Exploration Journal 17 (1967), pp. 1-17. John Bimson and Peter James: I. John Bimson replies on the "Israel Stele" I will answer each of Dr Day's arguments in turn. (i ) The lines of the stele which refer ...
387. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... and holie occur in the Ancren Riwle (Rule of Anchorites, circa 1230) p. 418, but the derivation of the word from a root kul = hul is scarcely convincing. In the Forest of Dean was a mine-law court held before the constable of St. Briavels. The parties and witnesses to a suit were sworn upon a Bible into which a piece of holly stick was put, and they wore their hooff or mining-cap during examination. Here we have an oath, with the head covered, taken on sacred wood. The Bible must have been an addition.166 This oath has been traced back to at least the 1301 century, and another storian says they ...
388. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... and bones uncovered at every latitude and longitude. Chief Mountain [5 ], that you can see from here, was once overturned. The fossils that belong near Chief Mountain's summit are found at its base. The Matterhorn in the Alps has been moved to its present location northward from Lombardy and overturned. In several different places in the Bible you can find verses describing mountains moving or overthrown. Such biblical verses appeared even to fundamentalists as metaphoric expressions. Today many theologians prefer to regard the Old Testament as a book of poetry rather than what it seemingly is. The inability to see evidence which is clearly written down and evidence so clearly presented by nature is a psychological phenomenon ...
389. Bet Shulman [Journals] [Kronos]
... name of the god. Biblical theophoric names derived from Shalem are common. Among the most noteworthy we find Absalom (Abishalom), David's own son; Shallum, names of kings of Israel and Judah; Shelemiah; Shelomi; Shelomith (or Shulamit), for whom Velikovsky named one of his daughters; and Shelemoth. Outside of the Bible, we find this theophoric name adopted by Shalamanu, King of Moab.(10) It also appears as Shalmaneser, a name borne by more than one Assyrian king. Perhaps less known is the fact that Salummati was an epithet of the great Assurnasirpal.(11) As a god, Shulman was worshipped in Nineveh and under ...
... , that Velikovsky's work displayed a high order of originality. Thus the American Behavioral Scientist [71] referred to "the new historical and cosmological concepts of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky." How new, in fact, were these concepts? 215 Blundering Critics Velikovsky's Originality The salient features of Velikovsky's method and conclusions are these: 1. The Bible and other ancient records contain much factual material about actual physical events. 2. Myths apd folklore are built around descriptions of striking actual events that can be discerned by proper analysis. 3. Past catastrophes were so threatening to mankind that overt reminders of them are suppressed, though they are described in more or less veiled form in common ...
