252. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Carmody, £20.00 A completely heretical investigation into the history of the English-speaking peoples.

253. The Origin of the Devil (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... dragon swept down stars with its tail. From Genesis to Revelation the devil appears as a serpent or dragon; the two are one. It is certainly worthy of note that all words cognate with devil contain the idea of furious violence, e.g . Greek tûphon, a hurricane; Arabic tûfon, a destructive demon; and even Chinese tai-feng, a tornado of the China Seas (typhoon). The devil takes the part of the dragon in modern religion, his divine counterpart the place of the dragon. Upon the experiences of the Tertiary cataclysm all religious systems, including Christianity, were built. A peculiar name for the devil which has considerably puzzled philologists and students ...
254. Tower Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... here, shall be the prop in the east." ' The chiefpoints in this story are the plurality of towers (which, of course, is only to be expected) and, above all, their use as supports. The idea of propping the firmament is common to the deluge myths of many entirely unrelated peoples. In a Chinese tale the monster Kung-Kung, of dragon shape, knocks with its misshapen head against one of the pillars of heaven and breaks it, whereupon a deluge comes over the land. South American Indians say that the Great Flood was caused by the World Tree- a kind of tent-pole- being chopped down. Atlas bears the broad vault on his shoulders ...
255. The Rise and Fall of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... less tidal changes, and no deluge. They entered the calm asatellitic age of general development and evolution with an appreciable amount of culture, which they were able to increase very rapidly. That this is no idle speculation is proved by the fact that all the higher races of mankind, the Aztecs, the Incas, the Aryans, the Chinese, to mention only a few, have, according to their myths, and according to the finds of archaeology, descended from hills and highlands, their deluge asylums. But the fringe-dwellers, who lived between the northern and southern ice-caps and the shores of the girdle-tide, experienced an adverse climate, lived upon the spoils of the shore ...

257. Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science [Journals] [Aeon]
... said to have quipped: "It is easier to believe that Yankee professors would lie than that stones would fall from heaven." Reviewing the history of meteoritics, Dodd commented upon this strange turn of events: "That meteorites came from beyond the Earth is both a very old and a new idea...The ancient Greeks and Chinese also regarded meteorites as objects from the heavens, but this perception, like so much else of value, was lost to Western culture during the long intellectual night that we call the Dark Ages...Although several important meteorite falls were recovered and described during the second half of the eighteenth century, the few men who suggested that ...
258. Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution [Journals] [Aeon]
... permutations make natural selection a designer's nightmare. But then, who is this designer- Dawkins' blind watchmaker? [2 ] Is he perhaps hiding in Behe's Darwinian black box? Darwin's black box, according to Behe, is the simple cell, and when we open this box we find still more boxes within boxes, like an intricate Chinese puzzle. When the Dutch naturalist Anton van Leeuwenhoek became the first to observe bacterial life with his primitive microscope and then discovered that even tiny rapacious fleas had even more minuscule mites to torment the predators, it led the English satirist Jonathan Swift to pen these catchy lines: "So naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fleas that on ...

... vast scholarship and originality of your manuscript. Our basic reason for not going ahead is that we do not believe Worlds in Collision to be a book for the general public, and we are publishers of quite a small list aimed wholly at this market. The admirable erudition displayed in your discussion of Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Babylonian, Chinese and Mayan records does not seem to us in any way designed for the general reader but wholly for specialists. It seems to us that in its present form, the book would be an admirable one for the Smithsonian Institute [sic] or some university press to publish. A popular version would require almost literally a translation directed at ...
260. The Animal that Changed the Course of World History: The Mammoth [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... tundra was different from what is seen to the north of Eurasia today. Besides dwarf birch, Arctic willow, bog whortleberry, heather, and saxifrage, there were sparse coniferous and deciduous woods. The two cases mentioned above are links in the long evolutionary chain. People have found remnants of mammoths throughout the millennia. It is known that Chinese authors of the fifthcentury, B.C ., had already mentioned and described mammoths. Later Manchurian and Tibetan manuscripts also made contributions on this theme. Reviewing the written sources and oral traditions, one sees there was a universal belief that the mammoth lived underground, that it fed on soil, and was terrifically afraid of the light ...
