... Ed.] Moreover, there are very small changes which can be made in his argument, so as to give the benefit of the doubt to Velikovsky - and which are perfectly permissible, even within the framework of his own "proof" - and these result in a probability of not 1:1023 but 50:50! The Deluge, After Asimov The activities of the Sagan-Asimov anti-Velikovsky axis continue to add new dimensions to the meaning of the word hypocrisy. Well known for his insidious attacks on Immanuel Velikovsky, Asimov is now merrily peddling his own brand of catastrophist speculations, the theme of his latest book, A Choice of Catastrophes (London: Hutchinson, 1980; ...
202. Notes (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... of a `serpent' (Tiamat, the personification of the primeval chaos) in the temple of Marduk, the Dragon-Slayer, in Babylon, and that he placed beside it a tamtu, or `sea'. (Tiamat and tamtu are cognate with Hebrew Tohu, a primeval chaos monster, and tehom, the nether sea, or deluge: cf. Moons, Myths, and Man.) Such a vessel was also called an apse, or abyss (cf. Apsu, Tiamat's male counterpart). Near (or between) the `serpent' and the `sea' stood a statue of the god Marduk. Of the realities underlying this symbolism the Babylonians appear ...

204. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... shape of comets. Fear of cometary collisions is inherited by mankind. Vermin were deposited by comets, which also provoked plagues. Deities from Egypt, Greece, Meso-America, and elsewhere were identified with planets. Pyramids were both astronomical observatories and "air-raid shelters" for nobility and kings. Planet Saturn, as a comet, caused the Noachian Deluge. The Atlantis date (ca 9500 B.C .) given by Plato had to be shortened. Extensive legendary evidence pictures the "hairy," "bearded," "blazing star" symbolizing comets. Stonehenge, Avebury Circle and similar monuments were astronomical instruments. Central American legends (and cultures) were contemporaneous with those of ...
205. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... , G.6 .1 16 is a footnote to G.3 .338. This latter describes how God (rather than the pillar) once moved one mountain against another so as to crush some Amorites in the valley between them, and how He then opened up the valley again, and flushed out the Amorite corpses with a deluge of water. G.6 .116, the footnote to this, says that in some sources for this legend, the feat was accomplished by the pillar of cloud. On God's behalf. These magical clouds that accompanied the Israelites became, in WIC, the gloom and darkness that supposedly came with the passage of the Venus Comet ...
... have signed a contract with Doubleday for two more books. You know only a little from what I told you years ago about my idea of Akhnaton being the historical Oedipus. The similarity at the first sight is non-existent. But wait and judge when you see the manuscript. Although I work sporadically on both contracted books (the work on Deluge and Saturn I have put aside), I must dedicate myself to "Ages" vol. 2. Although I have often thought that it was unfortunate to publish one volume only in 1952, the facts show that it may have been, after all, this way better. The interest did not die down but increased, in ...

208. The Garden, the Fall, and the Restoration [Journals] [Kronos]
... condominium, but travellers on a hilly road, survivors descended from survivors, heirs of a culture already nearly forgotten, destroyed so completely that only legends and a few artifacts remained. The catastrophe of ca. 1500 B. C. was sufficient to terminate civilizations, decimate populations, eradicate species and alter topography; yet compared with the earlier Deluge this must have been like a minor aftershock following a devastating earthquake. When we examine the geological record of the catastrophic conclusion of the Pleistocene Epoch, we see some indication of the severity of the stresses to which living forms were then subjected. Prior to the Deluge the level of the oceans may have been as much as three miles ...

... , let the plain be the crater debris and sediments and let the Atlantic cleavage be abetted by the Bermuda impact. The authors of the Bermuda theory proceed to discuss the dozen high-energy expressions that must necessarily accompany so stunning an impact- global hurricanes, eruption of hundreds of thousands of cubic kilometers of lava, darkening of the globe for years, deluges of water and debris, destruction of most of the Earth's biosphere- terrestrial and marine- poisoning of the atmosphere and fall-outs of many kinds of material, a giant set of electrical typhoons centered at and around the impact and moving radially outwards, earthquakes and volcanism in many places including the antipodes, and vast tidal waves sweeping across America, the ...
210. Sin and the Control System [Journals] [Kronos]
... they had been driven out. Since the story of a Golden Age appears in widely scattered regions of the globe, there must have been at one time an extremely broad bank of benign climate with little seasonal variation. As Velikovsky has suggested somewhere, this effect could have been produced by an extremely vertical position of the earth's axis. The Deluge Genesis 6.11, 13; 7. I: Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with ...
