... Attention is called to two additional facets of Newton's mind, one naturalistic, the other religious. He could not believe that gravitational attraction between two bodies could exist without a medium for transmitting the gravitational force. And, putting aside his deux ex machina, he went searching for his real God, the Old Testament God, who brought the Deluge down upon mankind, even seeming to agree with Whiston, his disciple, that a cometary force might have provoked the Deluge [2 ]. The latter is an irony that needs no elaboration here. But the former sets one to wondering. That all things are "falling" towards other things with measurable momenta is apparent; also ...
242. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... dynasty, and probably older. It concerns the charts graven on the jl, AU Nine Vases or tripods of Yii. This Tai YU jk rb, the Great YU was a fabulous descendant of the divine Hwang-Ti. His miraculous conception took place on his mother seeing a falling-star and swallowing a divine pearl. In nine years he subdued the deluge, that is made creation out of the waters'and divided his empire into nine provinces (see p. 711). He engraved his achievements on a stone-tablet on one of the peaks of Mount Hêng (in Hupeh, which connects him with Hcu#n-T'ien Shang Ti, see p. 524). His nine provinces sent him tribute ...
243. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... such time those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the sea-shore. And from this calamity we are preserved by the liberation of the Nile, who is our never-failing saviour. When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, the survivors in your country are herdsmen and shepherds who dwell on the mountains, but those who, like you, live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea. Whereas in this land, neither then nor at any other time, does the water come down from above on the fields, having always ...

245. A Manuscript Becomes A Book. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the manuscript as submitted to Macmillan contained also the description of earlier world catastrophes. This was good advice. In years to come, after having elaborated in separate works on the historical, geological, and astronomical aspects of my theory, I shall return and print the part of Worlds in Collision that was then left out, dealing with the Deluge and other early events. I even have reason to believe that we have not followed the advice far enough. The first volume should have contained the story of Venus only; the part about Mars, or the catastrophes that occurred in the eighth to seventh centuries before the present era, less spectacular but closer to our time, should ...
246. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... also that he either wrote or borrowed a considerable mass of prophetic narrative relating to (and hostile to) Alexander the Great. Conceive, then, an Alexandrian Jew, about 160 b.c ., in whose hands is a work already accepted as Sibylline, but containing- in a pagan form, of course- the stories of the Deluge and the Tower of Babel, together with a rationalistic handling of Greek religion. What Berosus had begun, the Jew could not fail to continue. A few touches only were needed to expunge the polytheism of the Berosian stories: the rest could be incorporated en bloc. This, it would seem, was actually the way in which ...
247. The Astronomer Royal. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the color of] blood; mountain ranges collapsed, while others were thrown up; continents were submerged; tremendous earthquakes occurred; enormous tides were raised causing great floods; showers of hot stones fell; electrical disturbances of great violence caused much havoc; hurricanes swept the earth; a pall of darkness shrouded it, to be followed by a deluge of fire. This picture of a period of intense turmoil within the period of recorded history is supported by a wealth of quotations from the Old Testament, from the Hindu Vedas, from Roman and Greek mythology, and from the myths, traditions and folklore of many races and peoples. The reader cannot but fail to be impressed by ...
248. A new synthesis: Prolegomena (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... satellites of the Earth to explain those myths which tell of terrestrial dramas enacted against an unmistakable cosmic background. For those to whom these principles are unfamiliar I must explain that these are the so-called `cosmological myths', which tell of such things as the `creation' of the Earth, and of its `end', of the deluge, of heroes of the flood, of a `paradise' and its `loss'. Up till now such folk-tales have been regarded as mere stories, invented to fill the dark corridors of man's unrecorded past with colourful characters and their glorious deeds and experiences. This view became untenable when Hoerbiger propounded his cosmological ideas in the early ...
249. The Loss of Paradise and the Fall, of Man [Books]
... only great and powerful cosmic force imaginable as capable of acting on our planet is that wielded by a satellite. But the myth of the loss of Paradise does not describe the cataclysm wrought by the breakdown of the predecessor of our present Moon. It pictures quite another occurrence, one that is infinitely less remote than the one which caused the Deluge and resulted in a New Creation'. In the asatellitic age, after the breakdown of the former companion of our planet, all life recuperated and the Earth became replenished again. The ice-age broke down quickly, the depleted atmosphere reached again its full height and was not disturbed by an extra-terrestrial trouble-maker: and hence the climate everywhere on ...
250. Consequences of the Capture (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... of the underworld, had welled up into the world of men. The hydrosphere yielded even more quickly and thoroughly to the lunar pull. The waters left their old beds. Draining off from the poles, they drowned the tropics. How terrible are the waters when unchained! The turbid, turbulent ring-waves surged over whole continents. A new deluge was sweeping over the Earth. The ancient outline of seas and continents is only preserved between the latitudes of about thirty-five to forty degrees North and South. The farther north and south we go from these narrow girdles, the higher the sea-level Was formerly, as we can gather from the still distinguishable ancient strand lines. The waters, ...
