... get rid of this notion of a paternalistic State that still hung on in Central Europe, that is, the Emperor. What he did was to attempt to undermine the religious tradition and the foundations of religion by a theory of anthropology which in fact went back to the social contract theory of Locke and Rousseau, and also back to Darwin ... his attempt to attack the notion that the family is the foundation of the State.

One could make a case that Velikovsky merely modified the Kuhn-Abraham system by insisting that the events of mythology and religion should be understood as literal rather than as symbolic occurrences. Other intellectual movements that were current in Berlin at the time may also have had their effect upon the Velikovskianism ...

... With this remote event we may find inseparably connected the geographical boundaries of a great state, the language now spoken by the inhabitants, their peculiar manners, laws, and religious opinions.

III. and Woodward ;* while Vallisneri 3 f in his comments on the Woodwardian theory, remarked how much the interests of religion, as well as those of sound philosophy, had suffered by perpetually mixing up the sacred writings with questions in physical science. The works of this author were rich ...

... the Ugaritic tombs in architectural plan (166). It is a "faithful miniature rendering" of the Syrian tombs both in design and, apparently, in arrangements for religious rites (167). It would hardly be surprising for 8th-century Phoenician colonists to bring over a current tomb type and burial customs from their motherland. The only similar ... 1972): 99-100. 44. See Lord William Taylour, "Mycenae, 1968," Antiquity 43 (1969): 91-97, and "New Light on Mycenaean Religion," Antiquity 44 (1970): 270-80 for a highly readable account.

... seeking evidence to support these (although, come to think of it, many other scientists behave in a similar fashion). Even with a truly scientific theory, the religious dimension may not be entirely absent. Davies, for example, concludes The Cosmic Blueprint with the words: "I have been at pains to argue that the organizational ... necessity out of which the present situation may well be the best that could be managed. So, starting from astronomy and biology with a little physics we have arrived at religion." Religion, in fact, can never be far away when the origin of life is being considered. If science cannot give a convincing explanation for the origin ...

... movements was very different from that of modern scholars and it seems likely that both the day names and the months in calculations were picked partly for astro-nomical reasons and partly for religious reasons.

It is a reasonable conjecture that Athaliah was also the daughter of Jezebel whom she so resembled in religion and murderous disposition, but this is nowhere explicitly stated. It is likely that Ahab would have chosen a daughter by his chief and favourite wife to cement the alliance ...
... why didn't the technical achievements of these superior cultures also travel with the people? That would be like the migration of the Europeans who followed Columbus to the Americas bringing their religious beliefs, but somehow forgetting carpentry, bricklaying, iron making, etc. Furthermore, Velikovsky did not dismiss the diffusionist argument at all.
