... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VI:2 (July 1984) Home | Issue Contents The Synchronistic Chronical: A Critique Lester J. Mitcham In a recent issue of Interdisciplinary Bible Scholar (Vol. 2, 1981, published at 39 Pardess Meshutaf, Raanana, Israel) Donovan Courville outlined his views on the chronology of early Mesopotamia. A principal requirement of his proposed revision is a near-uncritical acceptance of the historical accuracy of the document known as the "Synchronistic Chronicle."[l Dr. Courville states: [2 ] [T ] he obvious fact that must be recognised is that either the traditional chronology of this era is in gross error, or else the ...
402. Planetary Worship [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 3 (Feb 1986) Home | Issue Contents Planetary Worship Dwardu Cardona That ancient man worshipped the planets as gods is not a new revelation. The study of classical texts, of cuneiform tablets, even the pages of our own Bible, have long illuminated this oft-ignored aspect of ancient religions. It is therefore incredible that, from time to time, people like Chris Boyles find it necessary to question this verity. What is even more surprising is that Boyles can bring himself to state that the astronomical origin of the major gods of antiquity is a premise that has been "pulled out of a hat'.(1 ) Derek Shelley-Pearce criticized ...
403. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Mar's book is essentially a remarkably comprehensive anthology of ancient accounts of the antiquity of various events. Of the 346 pages of the book, 173 are devoted to a chronological listing of eras', starting from the 6984BC of the Alphonsine tables (published in Spain, 1448AD), through 4004BC (" First Day of Creation of the English Bible") and 3102BC (" the Kalijoga, a widely adopted Indian date for a fateful grand conjunction of the planets), to an ultimate prediction by the "Second Adventists" for the end of the world in 1928. The accompanying bibliography lists 380 authors, with around 500 publications. Del Mar's principal claim is that the Saros ...
404. Writing The Epilogue. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... of Worlds in Collision, I deliberated with myself about the last pages of the Epilogue, set and proofread: whether to include them in, or omit them from, the book. They dealt with celestial mechanics. In the Epilogue I discussed the problems solved and the new problems that presented themselves in the fields of history and chronology, Bible criticism, development of religion, mass psychology, geology, paleontology, astronomy, and physics. I wrote: Having discovered some historical facts and having solved a few problems, we are faced with more problems in almost all fields of science.... Barriers between sciences serve to create the belief in a scientist in any particular ...
405. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... accurate for historical purposes. Poking fun at the 969 years attributed to Methuselah and at Biblical miracles (the parting of the Jordan, the fall of Jericho's walls and Joshua's "long day"), he belittles the value of the relevant books, which were only written down some 7 centuries later. He forgets the number of times the Bible has had surprises for similar skeptics (e .g . Ebla). Worse, he accuses Bimson and Livingston of arbitrary selection of Bible texts and of never justifying their omissions. There are some criticisms of substance in the Halpern reply. Bringing down the end of Middle Bronze IIc to 1400 BC leaves very little time at all for ...
406. The Thirteenth Theory of the Hyksos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Mitanni/Hurrians ends at the Old-Akkadians. Every Assyriologist has to reject such a result since he has been taught that a 700-year-hiatus separates the Old-Akkadians from the Mitanni/Hurrians. Usually unaware of the shaky foundation s of the textbook chronology that created the hiatus in the first place - an Egyptological Sothic date for Hyksos and Mitanni but a Bible Fundamentalist Assyriological date for the Old-Akkadians - he would never consider the contemporaneity, not to mention the identity, of Hyksos and Old-Akkadians. That is why the Old-Akkadians as history's first world power' have never been taken into consideration as an alter ego of the Hyksos as the first superpower' in Syro-Palestine and Egypt. When, in February ...
407. Fire From Heaven [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1 ] the world has been destroyed by fire as well as by water (a tradition also mentioned by Plato) [2 ]. Philo said that a stream of heaven-sent fire poured from above to create vast landscape wildfires (see also Velikovsky and his connection of this fire to petroleum from comet Venus) [3 ]. In the Bible Elijah claims to have summoned, or to have witnessed, fire from heaven, which consumed a captain and fifty of his soldiers [4 ]. Velikovsky claimed a blast from God' smote the camp of the vast army of the Assyrian king Sennacherib [5 ]. There are many references in myth that might be likened to fire ...
408. Religion and Education [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Religion and Education Present here first is an editorial essay criticizing attempts to avoid the consideration of the Bible in schools and to restrain schoolroom discussion of various hypotheses of natural history. The second piece sketches a method for examining the relations of state education to religious teachings. The author is generally concerned that the words "to teach" should mean "to educate" or at least "to consider" rather than meaning "to advocate" and "to indoctrinate." I. QUANTAVOLUTION AND CREATION IN ARKANSAS Sometimes when you see how winners behave, you sympathize with the losers. I ...
409. The Reign Lengths of Saul and Labayu [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1990 No 2 (Dec 1990) Home | Issue Contents FORUM The Reign Lengths of Saul and Labayu a rejoinder from Tony Rees: Due to further research into the number symbolism contained in the structure of the Bible chronology, I have now come to the conclusion that the entire chronological details within Acts 13:18-22 are almost certainly symbolically based and do not refer to actual historical lengths of time. Thus I retract my proposals concerning Saul's reign being 40 years in length (Workshop 1989:1 , p. 23). However, due to deductions based on the related historical details concerning the ages of Saul, David, Ish-Baal, ...
