... of twins. One of the children was born in the ordinary way, but the other one forced his way through his mother's side, and so caused her death. This is almost a complete parallel to the above story. The Cashinaua motif also appears- with a curious transposition- in the second myth of the creation of the sexes in the Bible, Genesis ii. 21- 22. Here again we find the old man skilled in surgery, the sole male survivor from another world. With him was saved a young woman, big with child. He performed the Caesarean operation on her; she survived, and in due time became the mother-wife of her son-husband. Such, at ...
... , but there is little doubt that, like Ishtar, the Babylonian name of the goddess, she was Mother Earth in her creative, life-giving aspect, and the spouse of Zeus or Jupiter. Ashteroth was the female of the Assyrian god Asher (i .e . straight, erect, represented by a phallus, says Wheeler in his Bible Studies), and sometimes the god was represented in monuments as a man enclosed within a meteor shaped like a winged globe, in the centre of which the god emerged holding his bow and arrow. Ashteroth herself was represented as a meteor which had fallen to earth and became the volcano. The asherah, sacred to the great goddess ...
703. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... planets is plainly nature's eternal tribute of testimony for annular or canopy evolution, and that mart has seen the last stages of the inviolable process. I think we are now ready to suppose a case. Suppose the reader could take his place on the planet Jupiter, surrounded with the vast heaven of watery vapors it now has, with his bible in hand and the shining canopy over him, he reads: "The spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep." (Gen. 1:12.) With the universal world-thought that the Deity moved in the heavens there could be no trouble in believing that this "deep" was on high. Again he ...
704. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , all the radiocarbon dates from Thera are not worth the paper they are printed on. Baillie, though reluctant to subject scientific dating methods to the critical approach which is required, is happy instead to cite no less an authority than the dates of Ussher (yes, the 17th-century Archbishop!), taken from the margins of an old Bible: Interestingly Usher [sic], who attempted to put a timescale on the happenings in the Old Testament, suggested a date of 1491BC for the Exodus, which is only 137 years out if Santorini did erupt in 1628 BC, and less if the more conservative sixteenth-century date for the eruption was to prove correct' (p . ...
705. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the eight Patriarchs' chronologies but also the life chronologies of Abram, Isaac and Jacob through to Moses - the basis being value symbolism. This artificiality and symbolism was quite blatant. Succeeding Biblical authors followed the scheme - e.g . the Book of Judges has been almost entirely artificially structured and symbolically based. Therein and elsewhere in the Bible the supposedly literal chronological values of 300 years, then 400 years, 430 years, 450 years and 480 years have been blatantly placed in symbolical contexts related to their Cabbalistic and Gematria interpretations. The 430 year reference, when used literally, spans the time from the artificially contrived Mosaic date of 1904 / 3 BC for the start of ...
706. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... assumptions Kugler started from in writing this study: we will then have a clearer idea of the advance he made as a result of his research. Kugler was schooled in the uniformitarian mould and subject to the influence of the dogma and preconceptions current at the turn of the century; to this he added a direct and literal approach to the Bible. This is evident in his opening remarks: from the way he examines the development of the concept of "heavenly hosts", i.e . armies of stars, it is clear that he considers the accepted arrangement of the story of Genesis to represent not only the sequence in which the book was written, but also the ...
707. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... actually based on real (Semitic) people? Is he serious about using Midrashim as historical sources? With the Exodus in 1320(!), Solomon would be around 840. Would Rees accept this or would he ignore I Kings 6:1 , putting him in the strange position of accepting the Midrash as historical, but not the Bible? Brad Aaronson, Jerusalem, Israel Rees and his Sources, II Dear Sir, I feel that I have to respond to the article The Hebrew Patriarchs in Greek Tradition' by Anthony Rees published in C & C Workshop 1989:1 . I appreciate and understand that the purpose of Workshop is to relay snippets of information, members ...
708. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the nature and purpose of the universe underlies all of Western cosmology, including Newton's, for the last 2400 years, i.e ., that every allegedly scientific cosmological system our culture has produced is part of the same religious family. Pre-Socratic Theories To find the evidence, we have to look first at Greek thought. In the Hebrew Bible, God is said to have established the Earth and stretched the heavens over it after a vaguely indicated period of physical upheaval which will never recur. The Earth is admitted to be impure and changeable, but heaven (the abode of God) is perfect, and the aim of human civilisation is to ascend morally so that Paradise ( ...
709. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... "It is said the cattle of Egypt all died, but of the cattle of the Children of Israel there died not one. ' In the same chapter, we find a plague that affects flax and barley but not wheat and rye. This fine tuned host parasite specificity is very strange for cometary vermin."40 Sagan cites the Bible and then implies that this is what is written in Velikovsky's book. Although he gives a chapter as citation from the Bible, he strangely gives none from Worlds in Collision. Apparently Sagan believes it proper to cite Worlds in Collision and the Bible as if they were the same book. This is a straight-forward distortion of the evidence, ...
