... The unwritten directive that would guide their minds and hands would then be: 1) The "Chosen people" are a "select and exclusive people," and should preserve their religious heritage against any infiltration, expansion, or assimilation. 2) Establish the continuity of Yahweh with Elohim, i.e ., between the gods of Genesis and Exodus. 3) Eliminate realistic and natural explanations of events in favor of the indefinite, all-explaining "hand of god." 4) Provide a maximum of ritual so that the priests must be involved in all personal actions: "Whatever is not forbidden, must be prescribed." 5) Let it be clear that all ...
602. Falling Dust and Stone [Books] [de Grazia books]
... return." From dust to dust, goes the pathetic saying about man's fate. "To dust" we know from experience. "From dust" - what does geology say? Nothing, of course. Does mythology have something to say? Yes. One of the most popular creation legends has man being made from clay, Hebrew Genesis, for example. The Greek Promethean creation, for another. Moreover, the "Cree Indians believe that the flesh of those who perished in the waters of the Deluge were changed into red pipe-clay. Similar myths or echoes of myths are found in the tales of almost every nation. "So reports Bellamy [8 ] "We ...
603. Society News: Dead Sea Scrolls [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and thousands of fragments of manuscripts on leather, papyrus or parchment found in eleven caves near Qumran, next to the Dead Sea, eight miles south of Jericho. These have been collated into over 800 texts, of which about 500 have been published. The 7 scrolls found in cave 1 are: one complete and one incomplete Isaiah; Genesis Apocryphon; Commentary on Habakkuk; Community Rule; Thanksgiving Hymns; War Scroll. Then there is the Temple Scroll, the Copper Scroll and two others. The texts consist of bits of the Old Testament, including the virtually complete Isaiah and lots of fragments of every other book except Esther; various religious texts such as psalms and hymns ...
604. Jupiter in Collision: in Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Articles]
... Axis Mundi. The primal universe pictured the world axis with its principal pillar to the north- the less important southern element appearing to pass through the disc or sphere of the Earth and extend into the underworld. Hebrew tradition, like most major cultures, gives us many static and dynamic variations of the pillar of smoke and fire. In Genesis it is the trunk of the trees of life and knowledge. In the post-Exodus period, the wooden pillar, emblematic of the Hebrew goddess, was offered human sacrifices "in high places." So important was this idol that it replaced the ark of the covenant in the temple on a number of occasions. Velikovsky would have found ...
605. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... much more slowly, moves even in reverse motion, sucking up ever greater draughts of time. Still, Walter Sullivan, dean of science reporters, could declare in the New York Times in December 1981 that serious challenges to the conventional tempo and mode of evolution were arising; they came out of proof concerning links between catastrophe and extinction/genesis of species, out of the capacities of genetic engineering for modeling new life forms, and from the growing tendency to interpret the rarity of socalled missing links or transitional types as the non-existence of said types, introducing therefore the alternative presumption that macroevolution (quantavolution) introduced distinctly new forms suddenly. What Lyell wrote a hundred and fifty years ...

... the entire northern sector of the sky. Moreover, unlike its predecessor - or unlike its former self it was a much more active deity. Even after its organization, it continued to go through a mysterious daily cycle of changes while evolving further into an even more resplendent being. All this was the end result of the fiat lux of Genesis 1:3 . It was the Lux Divina by which the Romans described, not Saturn, but Venus.(13) - Why Venus? 29. Mater Dei One can picture our aboriginal ancestors, standing or squatting outside their primitive shelters, staring wide-eyed at this newly created glory and wondering what it was. The strange resemblance ...

... last 25 years by a belief which started out glorified but ended in failure. In physics it was superstrings. In astronomy it was the big bang-"from 1965 until the mid- 1980's were the heyday of the theory's popularity .. . the big bang was simply a fait accompli." The press "glorified science's version of Genesis" and many books "simply took the scientists at their word." Since then, Boslough "spoke with many of the world's most highly regarded theoretical physicists" and realized "that something was wrong .. . by the second half of the decade, nobody .. . was sure about anything." He perceived that " ...

One can clearly see that the whole antique cycle appears in the English language in ...
609. The Gravitational-Electromagnetic Effects of Ultramassive Objects on the Solar System [Journals] [Kronos]
... class to ultramassive objects such as neutron stars, black holes, pulsars, or white dwarfs, this probability will decrease. Appendix I discusses this topic speculatively. From these considerations, we believe that there is a "respectable" chance of such an encounter occurring over a period of several millennia. In the next section, we discuss the genesis of such encounters, and their possible effects on planets in the solar system. PHYSICS OF ULTRAMASSIVE OBJECT ENCOUNTERS Massive objects hurtling through space near our solar system could be produced by one of the many violent yet normal phenomena that occur regularly in our galaxy. The most likely candidates are star explosions (supernovae) that would generate enough momentum ...
610. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... myth which in most cases appears to explain the extraordinarily complicated, yet universal, details of myths which purely cometary imagery simply cannot do satisfactorily. Talbott et al have built upon an unpublished idea of Velikovsky's, considered in early SIS publications, (see The Primordial Light', Tresman and O'Gheoghan, SISR II No. 2, and Geological Genesis', Tresman, C&CW 1993:1 ) which accepts that prior to the Venus cometary imagery there was an earlier flood mythology which appeared to be associated with Saturn. Many gods translated as Sun gods have characteristics which do not fit our present Sun and seem better explained by another radiant body, which myth consistently points to ...
