... , he may perchance, by initiating a chain reaction, take this planet out of the struggle for survival among the members of the celestial sphere. Haldane also implied in his review that the author of Worlds in Collision had deliberately left several clues to the effect that the book was planned as a hoax and that it might lead to world destruction. This review, filled with misrepresentations that only an unreasoned reaction could produce, was followed by a thoroughly misleading reply to my rejoinder in The New Statesman and Nation, February 3, 1951. Haldane, a biologist and philosopher, wished to be known as the embodied conscience of the scientific and philosophical worlds. England, his native ...

... father came to light. "His strongest hatred was directed against his father whom he could not reach because he was no more among the living." By destroying his father's name, the king tried to erase the memory of his sire. By destroying a person's name, his ka, or soul in afterlife, was also delivered to destruction. When Tiy died Akhnaton did not entomb her next to her husband. "The rivalry with his father for the possession of his mother endured beyond death. . . ." In Abraham's opinion Akhnaton's monotheism was but a sublimation of his hatred. In the place of his father he worshiped the sun, the sole luminary of the ...

... : "Gigantic, sensational, staggering." I feel awkward repeating such "advertisement stuff," but I certainly have given prominence in this book to the derogatory criticisms. The Times ambiguously spoke of "dark stories of scientists allegedly applying pressure by boycotting the textbook department of the author's first publishing house in a frenzied effort to prevent the destruction of their own reputation and of orthodox physics." Of the articles that were printed in Great Britain, the piece by W. J. Brown, Member of Parliament, in Truth magazine, October 20, 1950, attracted attention. He saw what George Brett of Macmillan called "circles" in their proper light, and he ...

... stopped entirely, civilizations were entombed, populations decimated- by earthquakes, ubiquitous fire, and epidemics- and the climate suddenly changed. Schaeffer found that there were six or seven crises during the history of the ancient East caused by catastrophes in nature; the cause of these great convulsions of nature remained unknown to Schaeffer. He realized that the area of destruction must have been much larger than the Middle East. I came into possession of Stratigraphie comparée soon after the publication of Ages in Chaos, volume I, and I described it on pages 193-99 in Earth in Upheaval. Like myself, Schaeffer discerned several all-embracing catastrophes that ruined the ancient East during human history; like myself, he ascribed ...

775. The Hail of Stones, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... word for "thunder" is raam, which is not used here. The fall of meteorites is accompanied by crashes or explosion-like noises, and in this case they were so "mighty," that, according to the Scriptural narrative, the people in the palace were terrified as much by the din of the falling stones as by the destruction they caused (Exodus 9:28). The red dust had frightened the people, and a warning to keep men and cattle under shelter had been issued: "Gather thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought ...

776. Ambrosia, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... little of the dry land was left standing above the sea. Then clear light increased in the world, and the beings who had been hidden between [sky and earth] before they were parted, now multiplied upon the earth."(47) This tradition of the Maoris has substantially the same elements as the Israelite tradition. The destruction of the world was accompanied by hurricanes, hail (meteorites), and sky-high billows; the land submerged; a mist covered the earth for a long time; heavy dew fell to the ground together with light dew, as in the passage quoted from Numbers 11:9 . The writings of Buddhism relate that when a world cycle ...

... with oxen yet unwearied stands amazed at his supper hour's quick coming. What has driven thee from thy heavenly course? . . . Has Typhoeus [Typhon] thrown off the mountainous mass and set his body free?"2 This picture reminds us of the description of the day of Ahaz' burial. Seneca relates the fear of world destruction experienced by those who lived at the time of Atreus and Thyestes, the tyrants of the Argivc plain. The hearts of men were oppressed with terror at the sight of the untimely sunset. "The shadows arise, though the night is not yet ready. No stars come out; the heavens gleam not with any fires: no ...

778. The End, Part 2 Mars Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... . The collision between major planets, which is the theme of the sequel to Worlds in Collision, brought about the birth of come ts. These comets moved across the orbits of other planets and collided with them. At least one of these comets in historical times became a planet (Venus), and this at the cost of great destruction on Mars and on the earth. Planets, thrown off their pat hs, collided repeatedly until they attained their present positions, where their orbits do not intersect. The only remaining cases of intersection are those of Neptune and Pluto, the satellites of Jupiter, and some planetoids (asteroids) that cross the or bits of Mars and ...

... entailing catastrophes is likely to be offensive to conventional science unless the suggested events occurred very long ago, or very far away, or were not very extensive. The second reason was even more decisive. Convinced as they were that nature had experienced sudden and violent changes, these nineteenth century geologists could not suggest sufficient causes to have brought about destruction on the enormous scale which the evidence indicated.19 No scientific theory is viable unless it can produce an adequate cause for its claimed effects. Unfortunately, for the reason just stated, geologists abandoned the search for the cause. It is not fair to lump Velikovsky together with the pre-contemporary catastrophists because in both areas his approach differs. ...

... Cuvier's pupil, Jean Baptiste Léonce Élie de Beaumont (1798-1874), argued that even if the Earth was cooling slowly and gradually as Buffon had proposed, and that the reduction in volume led to mountain building, then this latter process was still likely to occur in an episodic and catastrophic fashion, with upheavals of submerged land creating gigantic and destructive waves. Hallam, in Great Geological Controversies, stated unequivocally that Cuvier and Brongniart had used `actualistic methods' in their work, and Albritton wrote in Catastrophic Episodes in Earth History, `Cuvier built his theory on what he considered to be empirical evidence, mainly provided by palaeontology and structural geology'. Huggett painted much the same ...
