... other remains of the large comet can be found in comet Encke, the Taurid meteor stream and some 50-100 Earth-crossing asteroids. Whereas Clube and Napier have indicated in The Cosmic Winter some relatively minor events' which might have been caused by Earth's encounters with the Taurids, the reader is left to deduce that the more significant events' (the Deluge, the Exodus) were caused, in their thesis, by comet Encke crossing the Earth. There is, therefore, an immediate problem for anyone who would create a modern synthesis for, according to the myths interpreted by Velikovsky, the early significant events' (e .g . the Exodus) were caused by Venus deities, ...
182. "Copernicus? Who Is He?", Atwater Thrown Overboard. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... , with the appearance of the article, took on the quality of a strange coincidence. Struve will write: Once again we have the question of "worlds in collision" and the resulting fragmentation of planetary and meteoric bodies. It is a bizarre coincidence that 1950, which produced the much-discussed Velikovsky book of science fiction, also produced a deluge of sound papers on various problems connected with collisions within the solar system. To this "deluge," according to Struve, will also belong a paper by Fred Whipple and Salah Hamid describing two real collisions between a comet and swarms of planetoids in historical times as well as the work of G. P. Kuiper, a distinguished ...
183. Some Religious Themes in the Light of Velikovsky et alia [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (like all Christian festivals) in Pentecost: the giving of the decalogue during a Venus disaster. On that Whitsun, the Holy Ghost descended in fire as Ginzberg states: "His splendour passed through four portals of fire, earthquake, storm and hail.(6 ) The baptism service may imply that Venus was partly responsible for the Deluge. I must state at this point that I was far from enthusiastic about my own theory and I fully expected the next consideration to be the stumbling block. I had to identify the Messiah in the Trinity, and Jupiter was the only available planet. However, Keller provides overwhelming supportive evidence for this idea(7 ) in that ...
184. The Creation of the Earth -- the Second Account [Books]
... great. ' The Bundahish reports in the seventh chapter that the rain descended out of the clouds as if poured out of jars prodigiously, in drops like bulls' heads, and men's heads, in handfuls and armfuls, ' both great and small'. The Sac and Fox Indians say that the raindrops at the time of which their deluge myth tells were of the size of wigwams. The waterfall-like downpour is mentioned in many myths. What had been the cause of this deluge from above? According to Hoerbiger's Cosmologic Theory the fragments of the ice-coat of the former satellite had spiralled into the terrestrial atmosphere where the friction they experienced made them to dissolve into smaller particles, part ...
185. The Flood [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... into and down river valleys, leaving masses of this secondary silt in its wake. In regions where mountain ranges obstructed the return flow of water, the secondary silt would build up as the water slowed and dropped its load. All of this rampaging flood violence would have occurred in a very short time. To the human survivors of this deluge, it would have appeared as if the ground had opened up to a subsurface ocean pouring out of the Earth and inundating the land. If the continents were flooded, then the remaining water filling up all basins would have to be discharged. The ground water level would have risen. A stunning example of this flood-ground water relationship is ...
186. The Role of Collective Amnesia in Retarding the Acceptance of Correct Ideas in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... of lava, and great deserts? I have called this psychological phenomenon collective amnesia, and I have explained the term elsewhere: it is not that we have no historical evidence; it is rather the inability to read the texts as they are - Mars for Mars, Jupiter for Jupiter, fire for fire, hurricane for hurricane, and deluge for deluge. To elaborate on this subject and to show how the unconscious mind works in all areas of our activities, even in our many sporadic wars, I have written Mankind in Amnesia. If Jung was right in his concept of a collective unconscious mind, then its probing must reveal the persistent racial memories of great catastrophes of ...
187. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... legend, if nothing else, intimates it. Does this mean that Abram lived during Saturn's Golden Age? Obviously not. What is implied is that Abram appeared on the stage of history not long after the close of that age. Again, Jewish legend hints at this when it presents Noah and his son Shem, survivors of the Saturnian Deluge, as still living in the days of Abram.(28) Whether this is taken seriously or not, what is important is that during Abram's early years Saturn still seems to have held the allegiance of the people. And with Saturn, as with any other deity, there were lesser gods personal gods, household gods. Allegiance ...
188. Past, Present, and Future [Books] [de Grazia books]
... that the Moon had come lately into its place, and that the Earth was only temporarily undisturbed. Isaac Newton, for all that he laid down the laws that founded the dogmas of uniformitarianism in astronomy, nevertheless gave a good part of his later life to research in the chronology and authenticity of the Bible, with attention to the great Deluge. It was his assistant, Whiston, who introduced a great comet as the force that brought on the deluge. Therefore Whiston may be properly called the first modern astrophysical catastrophist. Over a century later, Giambattista Vico wrote in his New Science (1744) that after the Deluge, Jove reorganized the world with his bolts of lightning ...
189. Catastrophism and Uniformity: A Probe into the Origins of the 1832 Gestalt Shift in Geology [Books]
... of fossils, Dispositio Echinodermatum (1732). The Protestants were keen to demonstrate that God's handiwork was as easily seen in this world as in the next, and particularly they were eager to demonstrate the literal truth of the Bible which declared that God had not only created all the creatures of the earth, but had also brought down the Deluge to punish man for his sins. Shortly after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 when the Catholic monarch was driven out of England, a rash of works appeared eared reconciling the book of Genesis with the new research into Nature. Most successful of these was John Woodward's Essay Towards a Natural History of the Earth, in which he explained the ...
190. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... since Ea was one of the personifications of the planet Saturn. In fact, as I have already noted elsewhere, Michanowsky's entire work is littered with purely Saturnian motifs, though he did not seem to recognize this. Only once did he acknowledge a connection between Saturn and Vela X-when he noted that, in one Greek-written version of the Mesopotamian Deluge myth, the god Ea is rendered Kronos, which is Greek for Saturn. He then lamented that "Most of what is known of Cronus is quite uncharacteristic of Ea [which is not strictly true], with a single very striking exception. In classical literature and in subsequent esoteric writings, the name Cronus is identified with a ...
