602. Folklore, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... made on the peoples of antiquity is not considered in explanat ion of myths and legends. Since the invention of the printing press, the great agitation and mass hysteria caused by the more brilliant comets can be traced in contemporary books and pamphlets. Were the ancients immune to these feelings? If not, then why are the exegetes of the Bible and the commentators on the epic compositions of antiquity so remiss as not to think of phenomena that could not but impress the ancients? Or did no comets appear in the sky during ancient times? This, of course, is only a rhetorical question. Keeping this in mind, we shall be able to answer the question about the ...
603. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... tides caused by change in the rot ation of the terrestrial globe; thus we accounted for moraines that migrated from the equator toward higher latitudes and altitudes (Himalayas) or from the equator across Africa toward the South Pole. We recognized that the religions of the peoples of the world have a common astral origin. The narrative of the Hebrew Bible concerning the plagues and other wonders at the time of the Exodus is historically true and the prodigies recorded have a natural explanation. We learned that there was a world conflagration and that naphtha poured from the sky; that only a small proportion of people and animals survived; that the passage of the sea and the theophany at Mount Sinai ...
... written several books on natural phenomena, says: In all my examinations of the earth's crust, and that to the depth of several mines that I have visited, I have never yet found any evidence whatever of extraordinary heat that has affected the surface crust of our earth; it certainly has not been burned in any way." (Bible Records of Earth's Changes, pp. 2-8.) If the earth's interior be incandescent or burning, the lower down we go the warmer it must become. How is it that the deeper the well the colder the water? It is common knowledge that the engineer who sinks a shaft to obtain the purest and coolest water goes as ...
605. Fragments of Myths of Culture Heroes [Books]
... considerations in answer to such questions as: Why do we feel what is right but do wrong? Why do we have to labour so hard with so little result? ' Why do we die? ', etc. As to death, for instance, it is nowhere mentioned in the Book of Genesis, nor indeed anywhere in the Bible, that man was originally immortal, and as regards work we must not suppose that dressing and keeping the garden in Eden will have been a sinecure. No the mythological material which really counts in the third chapter of Genesis is that which describes a certain profound and sudden physical change which took place in our world. Now any such ...
606. Conclusion (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... the passages which were usually regarded .as divine inspirations as mythological reports, and by showing that these reports told the truth, if often the embroidered truth, about real happenings in the long past, I believe I have actually saved the sacred material. Nay, I claim to have done more, I believe I have removed from the Bible a mass of dangerously brittle stuff which was utterly unable and unsuited to support the religious systems built upon it. I have assayed this raw material in the most searching tests hitherto devised, which revealed its native sterling value, and I have replaced it outwardly unchanged but inwardly recharged with a robust and real meaning which will be able to ...
... longer ascertainable. An astronomical calculation of Biblical data by Schiaparelli (of Mars canal' fame) is striking. The day on which Jesus was presented in the Temple is February 2nd. On that day also the prophetess Anna was in the sanctuary. In our calendars we find the name of Anna on July 26th. Whatever historical background the Bible story may have, Anna' is certainly the feminine form of annus, a year. Something, we cannot guess what, may be hidden in the myth. Schiaparelli, on calculating when Anna', regarded as a point of the year moving along owing to the precession of the equinoxes, stood at the beginning of February, ...

... bedouin ritual apparatus, and may have assumed, with embarrassed haste, that the oracle of Micah related to the worship of the calf and embodied its image, whereas most likely the oracle was the Ark of Micah and preceded Jeroboam's assumption of power in Baalbek; it was infuriating to the southerners, who later on supplied the editors of the Bible.

609. Religious Elements in Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... hypothesis, can biology define life. Fringe life forms are several, with subatomic behavior, crystals, and viruses providing initial confusion, and sending practitioners to more comfortable empirical fields to work. Ethology is rampant in the fields distinguishing among animals. Evolutionary theory is a shambles; "natural selection" is invoked as often as God in the Bible, but it is an embarrassment to do so. The Earth Sciences, like the other fields, are making many advances to which the name "revolutionary" is increasingly applied with some pride. Yet two of their greatest operational concepts- that of time and that of uniformitarian change- are in peril. They invest much hope in ...
610. Gases, Poisons and Food [Books] [de Grazia books]
... year 687 B.C ., at a time when natural phenomena, attributed to Mars, were verging upon the catastrophic in many places on Earth, the great army of the Assyrian king Sennacherib was destroyed as it was preparing to assault Jerusalem. "The angel of the Lord" is credited with the deliverance from the enemy by the Bible. The angel is identified as the Archangel Gabriel. He is connected with divine fire, with the founding of Rome, with the planet Mars. It was "a consuming blast" that rabbinical sources say burnt the souls of the Assyrians but not their bodies. An analysis is contained in Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision (230-41) in ...
