... of the doubt: the difference in names may not exclude the possibility that Velikovsky's interpretation of the murals is the correct one. The situation is totally different when dealing with Velikovsky's claim that the "King of Kd-sw" (Kadesh), who participated in the fight at Megiddo, was Rehoboam, King of Judah. Such participation was a physical impossibility at that specific moment of Israelite history. The town Megiddo is first mentioned in the Book of Joshua as a Canaanite town. It was included in the territory of Manasseh, the northern of the two tribes of Joseph. It was one of the towns whose Canaanite inhabitants continued to dwell there under Israelite rule (20). ...

... be an overwhelming intrusion of the Total Mind', acting like a reducing valve to ration out that measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help us to stay alive on the surface of this planet'."(21) As the world -of ancient man was plunged into a state of primeval chaos resulting from cosmic catastrophism, physical helplessness could, therefore, be overcome by psychological retreat. The actual cataclysmic consequences were suppressed through mythic and epic conversion - a form of "fantasy escape" - while memory fadeout also acted as a healing device; the mind blotted out reality displacing the terrifying events from the conscious "into the unconscious strata of the mind, where ...

... particular goals. Hence, from a selection of theories, one can be preferred on the basis of its utility value- the one which seems most likely to achieve the goal with the greatest efficiency and least effort. One criterion for the efficient achievement of the goal of understanding the universe is comprehensiveness. Again comparing the intellectual landscape with the physical, the higher the viewpoint the greater the purview. In this sense, Kuhn's process of periods of cumulation of knowledge within a paradigm separated by episodes of paradigm shifts can be understood as the progressive achievement of higher viewpoints affording greater purviews. Notice that from this understanding the often-used (and abused when applied outside a paradigm) judgements of ...
744. William H. Stiebing, Jr., and Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Earth's crust into space, and this condensed into a ring, which formed the Moon. Thomas A. Hockey tells us that this requires invoking a stochastic event [an event based on probability analysis,...so tenuous that the outcome is never known with certainty] governed by the rules of chance. Still, most of modern physics is based on the laws of probability. One thing is certain: The impact event necessary to produce the Moon was not a likely happening in the sense that it should be unique in the solar system. (17) Furthermore, George Wetherill proposed five or six collisions by Mercury first, with a small body which melted Mercury, ...
... cognizant of both the strength and weakness of their position. In view of this it is obvious that conclusions regarding the validity or error in a single date or a sequence of radiocarbon dates must be drawn with extreme care. .. . The second kind of problem in archaeology is more frequently concerned with later cultural material found in situations having physical characteristics which are almost wholly due to the fact of human occupation. In such locations stratification is present but it is frequently impossible to identify it. Consequently, archaeologists augment scarce, definite stratigraphic data with inferences from internal evidence, such as the evolution of styles of pottery, changes in the form of tools, the shape of houses ...
... he wrote that he was "egregiously mistaken with respect to the volcanic character of Mount Sinai".46 His confession was published posthumously in a gilt-edged volume, very different in appearance from Mount Sinai a Volcano. It gave an account of the voyage: "I am therefore bound to confess that I was in error, as regards the physical character of Mount Sinai, and that the appearances mentioned in Scripture were as little volcanic as they were tempestuous."47 46: Charles Beke, Discoveries of Sinai in Arabia and of Midian (London, 1878), p. 561. 47: Ibid., p. 436. Thirty years after the theory of the volcanic ...
747. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... E R Bruce on cosmic electrical dis-charges. However the basis of Kortvelyessy's views can be demonstrated by heating one end of a copper bar and observing the flow of electrons to the cooler end. I submitted a response to Scientific American which I hope will be published, as Krtvélyessy' s theory represents an important advance in our understanding of the physics of the Sun. GEOLOGY The Rise and Fall of Continents Scientific American March 2001, pp. 34-41 Continents appear to have risen and fallen at times in the distant past to a far greater degree than is explicable by simple lateral movements of the tectonic plates they sit upon. Mountain ranges formed at the edge of plates where they collide ...

... C&CW 1993:2 , p. 4), reminding us of how stratigraphic evidence in Mesopotamia indicates that there were four great cultures before the Hellenistic period. However, due to pen and paper' dating systems, these were assigned to much earlier periods, leaving the four great periods attested to by Greek history without any apparent physical evidence. In this lecture he proposed to show how, if the four stratigraphic cultures were correctly assigned, then the Mittani and Medes would prove to be the same people and the great kings Aziru the Martu and Cyrus the Mardian one and the same person. Both kings rose to power at the end of the Mitannian and Median empires ...
749. The Exo-Synchronous Molecular Evolutionary Clock [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... fundamental questions about its nature: was it intrinsically or extrinsically regulated, and how? I will offer an argument that the clock was extrinsically regulated by extraterrestrial upsets which occurred with a somewhat even frequency that were of the order of thousands to tens of thousands of years, in line with the frequency of the recent ice ages and other major physical and evolution type events. The upsets, which were of extremely varying magnitude, caused variability in the physiological evolution rate. However, each of the evenly spaced upsets left the same proportion of DNA changes, the maximum which could be tolerated, in the surviving offspring of all species. Most of these DNA changes or substitutions were of ...

... of the source. (The position of the neutral band in the field so obtained was determined with a plotting compass, observing its rate of oscillation, and the source was placed as accurately as possible in this neutral band.) Of course one is not as assured of a complete switch-off of the magnetic field as by removing the magnet physically, but that is the price that has to be paid for the complete removal of any variation of scattering of radiation from the pole faces that is inevitable with physical removal and replacement of the magnet. In this experiment sixteen separate sets of readings were taken, each set consisting of ten pairs of counts, one of the pair being ...
