... (but moral in its own way) view here found the idea of catastrophism disturbing, first because a moral agent called God was customarily employed to command the disasters and reconstitute the world afterwards, and second because catastrophism without divine controls appeared to be quite disorderly and not progressive, lacking the capacity to create species (Elohim promises Noah this Deluge would be the last; nor did the survivors anywhere talk of new species, these all having been created once before.) Nor when Mendel appeared on the scene with proof of mutations, was it appreciated that a mutation was a micro-disaster, perhaps tied into catastrophe somehow. It was for a later generation of scientists and theorists, ...
382. Thoth Vol III, No. 16: Dec 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... 1950, the mention of catastrophism in any form was anathema to science. Ideas have changed rapidly since then. Plate tectonics and the Spokane floods have crept into geology. Punctuated equilibrium and mass extinctions by asteroid impact have become fashionable. It's no longer beyond the scope of science to see the destruction of Atlantis in a Mediterranean volcano or Noah's deluge in the sudden filling of the Black Sea. A fast-growing contingent of astronomers are concerned with the perils of Earth- crossing asteroids. Galactic collisions and pole flips, albeit billions-of-years-ago, are common threads in modern science. But the gap between Velikovsky and orthodox science still looks formidable. After all, Velikovsky said that planets moved in different ...
383. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... tent of Elah, and there they were found by Kenaz. The Gadites acknowledged having led an immoral life, and the sinners of Asher, that they had found, and had hidden under Mount Shechem, the seven golden idols called by the Amorites the holy nymphs the same seven idols which had been made in a miraculous way after the deluge by the seven sinners, Canaan, Put, Shelah, Nimrod, Elath, Diul, and Shuah. (9 ) They were of precious stones from Havilah, which radiated light, making night bright as day. Besides, they possessed a rare virtue: if a blind Amorite kissed one of the idols, and at the same ...
384. How To Defuse A Feud [Journals] [Kronos]
... physical descent with modifications (nobody can trace the descent, but it is assumed). The other party would assert that the world was created by a divinity; that this occurred not so long ago (though not in 4004 B.C . as is sometimes charged); that there has been at least one colossal catastrophe (the Deluge); and that plants and animals have been modified in various minor ways since the creation (a sort of stunted evolution). These questions are interesting, but they would never provoke the antagonisms that now bedevil us. The creationists freely admit that they are relying on revelation and that their view requires an act of faith. The ...
385. Maturation of Newborn Female Rats Under Elevated Levels of Carbon Dioxide [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for the sudden drop in temperatures of high-latitude oceans is believed to be a sudden ice dump of 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 ...
386. Paleoclimatology and Infrared Radiation Traps: Earth's Antediluvian Climate [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... We would like to express our appreciation to Donald W. Patten for his support and for allowing us to reprint this article from SYMPOSIUM ON CREATION VI. The preflood canopy theory has found favor with many creation scientists1 as an explanation of three kinds of evidence:(1 ) suggestions or implications in Scripture concerning a different atmospheric order before the deluge; (2 ) other traditions speaking of a climatic golden age in earlier times; and (3 ) fossil evidence that in preglacial times there were warmer conditions in high altitudes and wetter conditions in present-day deserts. The essential mechanism proposed is a radiation trap or greenhouse effect which raises temperatures beyond those expected from sunlight alone. The source ...
387. Man's Divine Mirror [Books] [de Grazia books]
... had been snared. Whereupon psychologists would once more be called upon. That gods are often snares and delusions must be admitted. Yet the occurrence of the delusions, we have implied, takes on patterns evocative of actual events and of common mechanisms of the analyzed human mind. Natural expressions of high energy occur in cometary approaches to Earth, deluges of water and other material from the skies, anomalous intensifications of heat and cold by conflagration or sudden icing on a large scale, simultaneous large scale volcanism, and otherwise. Much evidence goes to show more of such catastrophes in ancient and prehistoric times than over the past 2500 years. We say that the more frequent these occurrences and ...
388. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ." The Babylonians speak so of Marduk, the Indians of Shiva, the Persians of Mazda. Other gods played with lightning and fire - Hephaistos, Apollo, Hermes, etc. but Jupiter was the overwhelming lightning god. Giambattista Vico believed that lightning was less on Earth in the damp age of Saturn, before Jupiter, because of deluges. It is noteworthy that satellite maps of terrestrial lightning published this year (1981) by Orville and Vonnegut show a dearth of discharges upon oceanic surfaces [5 ]. Satellites have also shown that a realm of lightning bolts a thousand times more powerful than the ordinary terrestrial bolts dominates the upper atmosphere [6 ]. The Etruscans said ...
389. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... CD-Rom Home Canopy Skies of Ancient Man Celestial Records of the Orient Eden's Flaming Sword A Glance at Compartive Mythology Golden Age Canopy The Heavens and Earth of Prehistoric Man The Misread Record or The Deluge and its Cause Mythic Mountains The Ring of Truth Celestial Records of the Orient Isaac Vail There is a very remarkable survival of canopy times chronicled in the ancient scriptures of the Japanese. I will note it here for the reason that the foregoing volumes in this series have clearly shown the former existence of a vapor heaven, or watery vault, in close proximity to the earth, and this striking memorial established the fact beyond any reasonable doubt. Besides, it so plainly becomes reliable history ...
390. Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages [Articles]
... own points as well. This one is much older, this is 1823, the first edition of the Reverend William Buckland's book which has got a very long title, and I won't give you the Latin title: Observations on the Organic Remains Contained in Caves, Fissures and Diluvial Gravel and other Geological Phenomena Attesting the Action of an Universal Deluge. In 1823, of course, no-one had heard of Ice Ages. The opinion at the time was that the explanation for all the curious things that they found in the geological record, was due to Noah's Flood. The people of the time were called Diluvialists. Buckland was one of the most famous proponents of that theory and ...
