... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 1 (May 1988) Home | Issue Contents Reviews Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth (An objective study of Creationism, Evolution and Catastrophism by James E. Strickling, Jr. Published by Vantage Press, 1986 This book is an attempt to mount a critique of modern evolutionary theory ... a good example of the sort of arguments used to counter Velikovsky's theories. That said, it is limited to surveying Worlds in Collision and therefore deals almost solely with Velikovsky's mythological references. As such it is a very one-sided view of a theory whose strength lies in its much broader interdisciplinary cohesion. From the outset Forrest makes it plain that ...

... what it might mean. Bill Mullen poses an intriguing question: if we were to assume that Gunnar Heinsohn's radical revision of ancient history was correct and re-date all the ancient myths and legends accordingly, how would this affect Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision scenario? It is a question which brings out the complex interaction between history, the mythology and attempts ... unravel what it all means about the Earth's recent history. This question is at the heart of both the frustrations and the fascination of the task SIS set itself. In ancient history, evidence continues to appear which challenges orthodox chronological ideas and Bob Porter's Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology' column brings a steady stream of tantalising revelations - with ...
... the same track, coming from the direction of Canis Major (Sirius), and all of them appear to have become twin or tandem comets.

... forward to many exciting developments in the next few months. I can hardly count the number of recent books which point to the various celestial bodies as the source of ancient myth and religion. A case in point is Maya Cosmos, which maintains that the key to ancient mythology was a configuration located at the polar heavens! Where have you ... that idea before? This growing trend in scholarly circles would appear to offer vindication of the ideas of Velikovsky, Talbott, de Santillana and von Dechend, Cardona, and myself. In our last issue we announced the availability of several books for publication, a sign of our intention to become more involved in publishing. Due to a happy ...
676. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... variants of the same theme. In hymns, in prayers, in historical texts, in philosophical discourses, in records of astronomical observations, but also in legend and religious myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey to their descendants, ourselves included, the record of events that took place in circumstances that left a strong imprint on the witnesses ... the early memory of the human race belongs into the domain of the student of psychology. Only a philosophically and historically, but also analytically trained mind can see in the mythological subjects their true content- a mind that learned in long years of exercise to understand the dreams and phantasies of his fellow man. Why is theomachy the central theme ...

... or Earth. They are then opposed and defeated by Octavius, who may be the Sun. When they are dead, their names and memories can be safely elevated to myth, just as Dr. Velikovsky tells us that the actual planets Mars and Venus, once so prominent in the skies and so threatening, are now safely distant, ... The senators alone of this great world Chief factors for the gods. 2.69-10. Thus, because Octavius is given a cosmic or at least worldwide dimension, the mythical magnitude of the love affair is matched by that of the political conflict. The consequences for Earth acquire the same significance, and indeed a greater one. In Old ...

... of ideas, by designing a new product. So we encounter the first halting steps of the so-called hard sciences' to deal with the soft' materials of legends, myth, psychology, archaeology, and history. Scientists cannot any longer remain specialists and hope to deal for more than a moment in this marketplace with its changed conditions. ... . The controversy has had many striking facets.

... , the highest stratum of religion, which for convenience we may call Stratum One, and my paper can have nothing to say about that. Stratum Two consists of creation myths, of the generative acts of the Cosmic Being at the beginning of time. They are very similar in all religions, like the concept of deity itself, and ... , and in that form they are certainly open to objective analysis, including catastrophic.
