... Home | Issue Contents Newsgroups: talk.origins Velikovsky & Saturnists & the Gods From: Tim Thompson, tim@uzon.jpl.nasa.gov Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:51:56 GMT Ian Tresman writes:[ .. . ] > Why identify a god with what appears to be an > insignificant point of light in the sky.. unless there were > times when they planets where not as insignificant as they > are now. This one point strikes to the very heart of Velikovskian thinking, and is the major motivation for the Saturn Myth. These notions absolutely require that the behaviour of the gods as described in myth precisely reconstruct the true ...
472. The Ankh [Journals] [Kronos]
... pulsar (PSR 0833-45) which, in 1968, was discovered by the Molonglo Radio Observatory in Australia. The pulsar was detected in the southern constellation Vela and thus received the popular designation Vela X.(19) According to Michanowsky, the stellar explosion which gave birth to this pulsar occurred "about 400 parsecs or roughly 1,300 light years from our solar system".(20) Frederic B. Jueneman has it as "some 1,500 light years away".(21) It must therefore have appeared for a period of "at least many months . . . either as a gigantic light source by night or as a somewhat smaller second sun by ...
473. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... comet's tail was then considered to be acceptable. After putting my money on the 100+ year old explanation and rather unsubtly highlighting the deficiencies of modern astronomical philosophy, I wrote the following: "It would be interesting to know if the star-like appearance and jets of some cometary nuclei are due to an effect like the intensely bright points of light seen in spark-gap machining or old high voltage mercury arc rectifiers. Maybe solar heating is not the only, or even the prime, mechanism for outgassing of cometary nuclei?" Well, I believe that Bruce, Crew and Juergens can all figuratively take a bow because I have just seen close up photographs of the comet Halley nucleus taken ...

To appreciate their importance it is first necessary to have a clear idea of the composition and possible transformations of matter. To ...
475. Bronson Feldman, 1914-1982: A Biographical Note [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... History IV:2 (July 1982) Home | Issue Contents Bronson Feldman, 1914-1982: A Biographical Note Warren Hope Dr. Bronson Feldman, author of Our Holy Library and The Passover Marvels, a contributor to Kronos and Catastrophism and Ancient History, founder and director of the Institute of Hebrew Unity and editor of its organ, The Israel Light, in which appeared his Velikovskian history of the Biblical Jews, died of a heart attack at his home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, on February 19, 1982. It is my guess that when future researchers investigate the impact and dissemination of Immanuel Velikovsky's thought, Feldman will emerge as one of the earliest and brightest reflectors of that ...

477. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... this destruction to be understood as an analogy of the slow movement of the planets and stars. To me, it is far easier to believe that ancient peoples, every bit as intelligent as ourselves, actually saw something tremendous than it is to think they could all give birth to the same cosmic operas based on the gentle little twinkles of lights in the night sky. But first, a little background on the Maya, the people, the land, and their accomplishments. = God = God THE MAYA It is well known that the Maya were accomplished architects, artists, mathematicians, and astronomers, as skillful as any civilization of the day and more advanced than many. ...
478. Shoshenq and Shishak: A Case of Mistaken Identity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... i.e . some 15 years before the end of his reign. For all that time, Jeroboam was a guest at the court of Shishak, and according to the Septuagint version of 1 Kings 12 he married either a sister of Shishak's own wife, or (more probably) one of his daughters [27]. In the light of this it is somewhat surprising to find that the supposed Egyptian record of Shishak's invasion attests an extensive campaign into Jeroboam's kingdom. T. H. Robinson remarked: "What does this invasion of the north imply? Jeroboam was Sheshonk's (sic!) protégé - according to one account his son-in-law. It seems highly improbable that the ...
479. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... proponents of catastrophism. What distinguishes Kugler from his contemporaries studying the same ancient documents is his conviction that there is more to them than their superficial appearance might indicate. In his introduction to Sibyllinischer Sternkampf und Phaethon he writes: Our monograph . . . conveys the urgent lesson that ancient traditions, even clothed as myth or legend, cannot be lightly dismissed as fantastic or even meaningless constructions. And this caution is particularly appropriate when we are dealing with serious reports, especially those of a religious nature, such as are offered in abundance in the Old Testament.(5 ) This was the message underlying the paper, and Kugler attached such importance to it that he had his publishers ...

Velikovsky, Peoples of the Sea, op. cit., p. 127 Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 83 "At first the star comes up only a little over the horizon before the rising sun blots out its light and that of other stars. Each succeeding night it rises a few minutes earlier and mounts higher in the sky before daybreak.
