... two or three-pronged spear, and even hurling a bolt whose shape was not forked lightning but like an American football, a plasmoid perhaps, a kind of lightning bomb [3 ]. All mountains were sacred to thunderbolting Jupiter. Seneca, the Roman stoic and dramatist, has him dissolving mountain ranges with his bolts [4 ]. The Bible says the same of Yahweh, all this and more. Psalm 97 gives us : "His lightnings lighten the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth." The Babylonians speak so of Marduk, the Indians of Shiva, the Persians of Mazda ...
822. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... who were equally impressed by ancient catastrophism; he lost sight of most of the world's people when accusing mankind of a collective amnesia of ancient catastrophes, focusing his mind upon the uniformitarian intelligentsia of modern times. He was loath to draw sustenance from and give thanks to the long line of Christian defenders of the historical and catastrophic accuracy of the Bible, whose works on subjects such as evolution and geology were, for their times, as good as his own in Earth in Upheaval. He was unfriendly to religiously committed writers who pursued parallel paths and sought to ignore them. When Donald Patten, who had published an extensive and substantial scientific work on the Biblical Flood in 1966, ...
823. Ethics and the Supernatural [Books] [de Grazia books]
... party might complain, of what use is the State Church if it does not support the State's wars? Just as reasonably, the Archbishop might say: Of what use is a religion if it cannot teach peace to politicians? The peacemakers often go unblessed by the religions, too. Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, in his grand tome, The Bible of Mankind, compares the great world religions to the strings of a single harp each of which gives forth its own dominant note, while the harmonious blending of all produces a symphony of music. The dominant note of Hinduism is the divine presence pervading nature; of Buddhism, remuneration; of Zoroastrianism, purity; of Confucianism, filial ...
824. Maturation of Newborn Female Rats Under Elevated Levels of Carbon Dioxide [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... juvenile, celestial ice in the magnetic polar regions, and its subsequent melting and runoff. This is also the core of our astronomical, catastrophic theory of the origin of the ice age.2 In its turn it is probably related to the Deluge story itself. Figure 2 illustrates the ancient pattern of decline in longevity as reported in the Bible and certain other ancient literatures. This pattern, like the curve in Figure 1, follows a transient decay curve pattern. This hypothesis therefore asks two – even more- simultaneous questions, all related to the richness of atmospheric C02. Some of these questions are: What was the atmospheric concentration of CO2, some 4500 years ago? ...
825. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... considered myself his protege. I told him about Ages in Chaos-or what I had thought Ages in Chaos was all about. As best I can remember, this is what he said to me: "No amount of human reasoning can ever hope to make sense of God's madness. Murder in God's name, as described in the Bible, is a contradiction in moral precepts; hail stones that burst into flames, as described in Exodus, is a contradiction in scientific terms. The man who will make logical sense of God's miracles will never be born." III My next meeting with Velikovsky occurred in 1960 in another book store, this time in Montreal, Canada ...
826. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... psychoanalysis, Velikovsky postulated that the actual happening must have been too disastrous for homo sapiens to remember as such. The memory image gets remodelled; it is given human features and the remembered event gets converted from a bringer of defeat and destruction to a bringer of victory and survival. By imaging happenings as acts of the tribal god, the Bible story infuses them with human meanings and values. The imaging is a transaction which remolds a cataclysmal experience into a satisfying human myth. Horace M. Kallen, Creativity, Imagination, Logic: Meditations for the Eleventh Hour (Gordon and Breach, New York, 1973), pp. 115-116. * * * UPDATE- THE VELIKOVSKY ...

A journalist has written:'... for sheer extravagant implausibility, nothing in theology or metaphysics can hold a candle to the [Big] Bang. Surely, if this description of the cosmic genesis came from the Bible or the Koran rather than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it would be treated as a preposterous myth' [1 ] . A few professionals [2 ], like the astronomers Halton Arp, Sir Fred Hoyle and Tom van Flandern, do so treat it. Van Flandern has listed on his website the Top Ten Problems with the ...
