... is sufficient on its own". It has been so postulated, Mr Benton, but unavailingly until now. Dare we hope that these enlightened evolutionary biologists will soon prevail? Earthquake Electrics source: Nature 3.3 .83, pp. 28-32 We reported in the past two issues on the interest being taken in the phenomenon of earthquake lights, and in Workshop 5:1 we gave prominence to the ideas of James D. Byerlee. Now Byerlee, D. A. Lockner and M. J. S. Johnston have produced a definitive paper on the subject. They have managed to circumvent the problem of how electromagnetic radiation can travel through kilometres of highly conductive rock ...
382. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... Haman The Edict of the King THE FEAST FOR THE GRANDEES The Book of Esther is the last of the Scriptural writings. The subsequent history of Israel and all his suffering we know only through oral tradition. For this reason the heroine of the last canonical book was named Esther, that is, Venus, the morning-star, which sheds its light after all the other stars have ceased to shine, and while the sun still delays to rise. Thus the deeds of Queen Esther cast a ray of light forward into Israel's history at its darkest. (1 ) The Jews at the time of Ahaseurus were like the dove about to enter her nest wherein a snake lies coiled. ...
383. Bob Forrest and Venus As A Comet In World Mythology [Books]
... planet Venus once possessed a comet-like tail, and its orbit brought the planet into confrontation with the Earth. The planet Mars, the war-god of the ancient world, participated directly in Earth-threatening catastrophes and appeared to battle other celestial bodies in the sky. During an epoch remembered as the Golden Age, the planet Saturn once shone as the dominant light in the sky- when the Earth was apparently a satellite of Saturn. These principles are not just novel, but central to an entirely new way of looking at man, the Earth, and its celestial habitat. But will further investigation substantiate Velikovsky's revolutionary conclusions? VELIKOVSKY AND VENUS It is hardly surprising to find that in virtually every attempt ...
384. Conclusion [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the non-miraculous but apparently nonsensical - the clothing, the taboos, the prayers, the rites, the devices, the social behavior, the attitudes of people - can be linked to the miracles, the setting, the motives and purposes of the leaders and people. All of this invites a renewed attention to old problems under a new light. We may be in a better position to learn from the Bible and to know what is not to be learned from it. The experiences of Moses and Israel may be better guides through history than they have been in the past. Yet even such generalities seem bland and anti-climactic following the outburst of arguments and propositions in the individual ...
385. Symbols of an Ancient Sky: Slide Presentation & Notes by David Talbott [Journals] [Aeon]
... own children. At this point, it appears that the warrior hero intercedes. Pushing the great god back- or contending with a monstrous other- he himself falls to Earth. Sometimes considered an interloper, sometimes a savior, his celestial actions seem to have brought about a welcome respite. The great gods receded to become the pinpoints of light seen in the present night sky. The rain of fire, the perpetual winter, the waters of the great flood, all the calamities that the gods had caused in their fray, came to an end. Order was restored. But it is a new order. A bright sun now moved across the sky; the motionless sun ...
386. The Prophecy In Paleontology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Bible and science is over the nature of the creation of the earth and of the life upon it. Thus the story presented in the first chapter of Genesis for the creation of the world has been explained as a myth. Robert Graves maintained that the creation on each day was related to the god honored traditionally on that day. Hence light was said to have been created on the first day because Sunday was holy to the sun god; the sea on the second day because Monday was holy to the Moon goddess; the dry land on Tuesday as ruled by Mars; the heavenly bodies and the seasons on Wednesday as ruled by Mercury, the god of astronomy; the ...
387. Venus Moves Irregularly, Part 1 Venus Ch.10 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... (20) "No attention at all was paid to the actual movements in the sky."(21) The Babylonians did not note these irregular movements merely as matters of factual interest; they were dismayed by them. In their prayers they expressed this dismay. O Ishtar, queen of all peoples . . . Thou art the light of heaven and earth . . . At the thought of thy name the heaven and the earth quake .. . And the spirits of the earth falter. Mankind payeth homage unto thy mighty name, for thou art great, and thou art exalted. All mankind, the whole human race, boweth down before thy power. . ...
388. Varves And Bok Globules (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... of sand which consists of crystals of SiO2.) These chemical reactions apparently produced some gigantic explosions- the "words" of god. As it warmed up, Venus would have gone through several stages: white- frozen gases; blue- methane atmosphere; black- dust and heavy hydrocarbons; and, finally, incandescence, as the light elements and molecules would have been lost into space. The atmosphere that a planet can retain depends on gravity and temperature. This is a simple and predictable sequence which does not require the introduction of the dubious idea of Saturn having been a brown dwarf star. Saturn is too massive to have lost anything, so its chemical reaction would ...
389. Comets -- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes [Articles]
... on and the three corrections or improvements that Aristotle made- there is sufficient justification in all those statements for us to recognise now that what they were looking at was a luminous band in the plane of the ecliptic, that is, the Milky Way was not the Milky Way that we currently see, the Milky Way was a band of light seen in the plane of the ecliptic. And under those circumstances it would be entirely reasonable for somebody to think that the dust that was coming off comets, the exhalations from comets, should aggregate in the plane of the ecliptic and produce an extra-bright zodiacal light. That is precisely the way we think the zodiacal light is produced now ...
390. The Aristotelian Cosmos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Plato. Nevertheless, it is important that the contributions of the Ionian thinkers be examined briefly to see just what Aristotle rejected from the past. As is well known, early man saw the planets as gods and this view persisted. Shortly after the 8th century B.C . some men began to view the planetary gods in a new light. There were no longer observable bodies threatening the Earth from space, and in this quiescent environment men began to question the reality of gods of any kind. Xenophanes of Colophon is reported to have said: "Men imagine gods to be born, and to have clothes and voices and shapes like theirs... Yea, the ...
