... in a group of scientists and there would arise that ineffable combination of good humor, snarls, titters, knowing glances, and intellectual nudging that tie people together, like mention of a joke would other groups: "Remember the story of Pat and Mike at the wake?" (laughter in the tavern) or "They're reprinting the Bible in a plain wrapper for the Alabama schools," (giggles), or "Did you see where Ronald Reagan has gotten the Nobel Peace Prize?" (laughter and snarls). There is comfort, mutual solace, malice, subconscious fear, a bonding of spirits in possessing a few names to which phrases and epithets can ...

... even less than the Rabbis' 210, judging by the demography of an exponential growth in the population of the Israelites, which would have given rise in a short time to a large enough number to alarm the Pharaoh. No agreement was reached. If one has a hypothesis, one chooses the data best suited to support it and the Bible seems to have conflicting data, depending on one's interpretation. You pays your money and you takes your choice. After tea, Tony Chavasse described his assessment of the evidence, using the Ginzberg Legends as well as Manetho and Egyptian sources. He placed Joseph in the VIth Dynasty and the Exodus at the end of the VIIIth, with ...

595. Venus. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... of art, the history of religion, philology, and history in general followed. Difficulties were swept away and the findings of the specialists corroborate one another, and so they have scientific proof that their systems are constructed with precision and are well fortified on all sides. The readers of cuneiform borrow dates from the readers of hieroglyphics; the Bible exegetes from the archaeologists; the historians from all of them. Thus there came into existence an elaborate, entrenched system that bears very little resemblance to the real past. The Sothic scheme of ancient chronology is rooted in a fallacy; Menophres is unknown, if he is anyone at all; Manetho's list of dynasties is a bewildering maze ...
596. Damned To Fame. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the poetic qualities of my book, Oursler began to read with great animation the article he had prepared. It, too, turned out to be not a serialization but a piece of original writing. He started it with a reference to the Scopes monkey trial when Clarence Darrow asked William Jennings Bryan whether, believing in everything written in the Bible, he believed also in Joshua's stopping the sun. The answer was: "I do," and this made Bryan the laughingstock of all enlightened people. Now my book proved that a natural phenomenon was behind the biblical story. I corrected a number of details and advised Oursler on some changes, but in general let him present ...
597. "A Silly Season". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... of my first book, Worlds in Collision, two years after its publication. The reviewer, William A. Irwin, of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, saw in that book a work of superstition. What served him as a basis for this conclusion he did not disclose. Possibly he thought so because the book discusses the Bible, miracles, and planets. It sounds like astrology, which is superstition. However, nobody protests against the publishers of astrological books. The emotion that carried the reviewer away impelled him to assert by implication that Worlds in Collision, the subject of his review, was a sin worse than prostitution, worse even than communism, and ...

... civil engineers constitute a leading group. It is also cause for a little reflection that Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos are required reading in the university whose windows look out on the Macmillan building where, on May 25, 1950, I ventured to predict that such an hour would come.

The name Yahweh is preserved in shorter forms, as well, Yahou and Yo,(21) as the name of the Deity in the Bible.(22) Diodorus wrote of Moses that he had received his laws from the God invoked by the name Iao.(23) In Mexico, Yao or Yaotl is the god of war; the similarity of sound has already been noted.(24) Nihongi, chronicles of Japan from the earliest times, begins with a ...
