... I had to say at the seminar. As he was to say later to another: "Cardona was right, I did not." And yet it was he who encouraged me to present my case in more depth and with all the evidential material at my disposal. "Child of Saturn," my lengthy serialization, owes its evolution to Greenberg's encouragement as so do many of its spin-offs. They were all published by Greenberg in KRONOS without the least obstacle being placed in my path. These criticisms of Worlds in Collision have been received by other Velikovskian scholars with mixed feelings but my intentions, at least, have been accepted in good faith. Not so with my ...
882. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... . A world void of reason is a step backwards into dark ages. In the past, those who wished to supplant reason by faith in a divinity went to great pains in excising all mentiort of planetary influences from the pages of the Old Testament just as modern fundamentalists are going to great pains in their attempt to excise all mention of evolution from the pages of our scientific text-books. It is such excision that gave birth to Biblical fundamentalism in the first place. Larson has "hazard[ed] a guess that the majority of those who have eagerly followed the progressive revelations of the neocatastrophist movement...have been prompted to do so primarily by religious motives deeply rooted ...
883. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... 44, V writes: A tradition of successive creations and catastrophes is found .. . on Hawaii." V here cites Dixon p.15, and here again the successive creations are not quite what many of V's readers might imagine them to be from the context surrounding their mention in WIC. They are actually successive stages in the evolution of life rather than successive ages in the history of man. Dixon p.15-16 reads thus: "One of the most curious and interesting of Polynesian cosmonogonic myths is that found in Hawaii, which, although differing in several important particulars from those just outlined, must yet be considered as belonging to the same general type, in ...

885. Beneath Bauer [Books]
... public"] for that of the specialists [the scientists] are unwarranted, impertinent even. What is more, if the attempt is successful, the results thereof are undesirable and error rather than truth is served- as in Nazi "science," or in Soviet "science," or where laws are enacted to forbid the teaching of evolution . . . ." (248) "Had Velikovsky appeared ludicrously wrong, obviously wrong, to the humanists and social scientists as well as to the astronomers, would there still have been an outcry about how his concepts were treated? With how much respect shall we treat the idea that the earth is flat?" (249 ...

887. The Organization of the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... . This approach has been strongly supported by academia over the last 200 years. Second, there has been the theological concept, fiat creationism, supported by a few Jewish theologians and a variety of Christian theologians in an attempt at theoretical science which harmonizes with their understanding of the Bible. Thirdly, there has been the consensus concept, theistic evolution. This approach has been supported by certain scientists who eschew "chance," agnosticism and atheism. Yet they do adopt and support the scenario and the timing in the nebular hypothesis. To these three views, we suggest a fourth should be added, that of planetary catastrophism. Planetary catastrophism does not accept the presumption that the planets ...
888. Holocaust and Amnesia [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Immanuel Velikovsky may well be characterized as an interest in the true reconstruction of mankind's genetic history, and thus also of geologic and, in part, cosmic history...Developing Velikovsky's psychological inceptions, the goal- of bringing home to collective consciousness the realistic conception of the world, as opposed by the present mania holding sway over cultural evolution- would include nothing less than safeguarding mankind's life on earth, imperiled by (1 ) by the acute danger of self-destruction, and (2 ) by not attempting to prepare against some future chaos in the solar system. However, whether some of us are attributing such healing powers to the recognition of true history, or whether others ...
889. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... graphic systems capable of preserving sacred traditions, storytellers gradually ceased to form such a vital function in evolving societies. The great myths, hitherto committed to memory and preserved orally for untold generations, now became the common possession of all who could read and write. At the same time, ancient myths became increasingly subject to the vicissitudes of cultural evolution and modifications arising from creative innovation and the attempt to historicize and localize the sacred events. Despite the ravages of time and the wholesale destruction of countless cultures and their sacred traditions, it is still possible to reconstruct the basic events behind the myth of the dragon-combat. That those events were celestial in nature there can be little doubt. ...

... it's going to strike us again if we don't take precautions! ' He repeated his theory, from The Cosmic Serpent and The Cosmic Winter, that the catastrophes reported in mythology were caused by the break-up of a super-comet c. 40,000 years ago at the start of the last glaciation. This was one super-comet among many and biological evolution itself had been determined by comets throughout Earth's history. In the 19th century, the French,who had become very meteorite-minded because of a meteorite landing in their midst, published Chinese data on meteorite falls ( 'fireballs'; apparently the Chinese called them very interesting times on Earth'). The data indicate peaks of activity around ...
