... congress only officially lasted four days- and barely participated in the proceedings: he was unable to decide whether he should join the socialist faction, or Jabotinsky's revisionists, or the religious Mizrahi, since he was in sympathy with them all. In Karlsbad, however, he made the acquaintance of Heinrich Loewe, a librarian at the University of Berlin ... replacing sexual conflicts for the forces of nature as explanatory devices. 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 ...
582. Thales: The First Astronomer [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... time of Epicurus and his follower Lucretius, will have become paradigmatic of all the phenomena of which men need to be given scientific explanations if they are to be freed of religious superstition. In the work of Thales' immediate Milesian and neighboring Ephesian respondents, Xenophanes and Heraclitus, the category of the terrifying also includes world-destructions, which will be ... lies in the way it has learned to draw attention to the dynamics of legend-building. The "high criticism" argues that the longer a tradition persists, be it in religion, literature, history, politics, science-and the larger the area over which that tradition extends itself, the more important it becomes to make people believe that the tradition ...
... and to which human sacrifices were freely offered. I have contended that these stones, whether set up as temples, menhirs, or idols, were erected for a deeply religious principle, in no way proving that the builders were primitive, for, on the contrary, they appear to have flourished in the Bronze and even the early Iron ... removed from any desire for verity's sake. This, alas, is only too true of accepted history, and it applies infinitely more to the past for many reasons, religion not being the least of them. In this volume, as I have said in effect, it has not been possible to present more than an outline of a ...
584. The Knowledge Industry [Books] [de Grazia books]
... would have so warmly accepted Darwin's group. (The anti-religious connection is, of course, obvious, but the Europeans were not so friendly to Darwin and were non- religious too). Then [1976] came the exposure that the famous letter had not been written by Marx at all and the mistake was traced back to its source ... J.B .S . Haldane, a noted biologist who also wrote on Science and Ethics, found V. s Worlds in Collision a degradation of both science and religion, a peculiarly enraging combination, apparently, for a marxist and fellow-traveler, whom Deg, with a long nose for hidden political mazes, suspected might be waving the ...
585. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the planets; yet we can observe in their own times the strengthening of three psychological defense mechanisms that made historical reconstruction involving quantavolution difficult: denial and suppression of memory, religious and literary sublimation, and abstract philosophy [114]. Modern cosmogonists, sternly trained in the principles of uniformitarianism and gradualism under a very long whip of time, ... The time coincides with the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt under Moses, an event so fraught with catastrophe that it remains the substratum of the Judaic, Christian and Islamic religions. If Venus was erupted from Jupiter, it conceivably burst from the disturbed area of the Great Red Spot. Although not demonstrable, this is hypothetically feasible. It ...
586. Fingerprints of The Gods [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... it's a study of the evidence that there was an > advanced civilization on Earth thousands of years before > there was supposed to have been one. Nothing supernatural > or religious in this book. A mix of fact and some deductions > based on those facts (but mostly fact). Not of course that this is a new hypothesis ... found two major errors in the assumptions used. First, he (I'm sorry, I didn't note the name- it was a posting on another group, talk.religion.misc in the thread Christian Nation, I believe. It was posted by Ted Holden and was 2000 some bits- if you want to find it, it ...
... from which all others derive. It carries, too, its own moral tidings: "if the grain die not. . . ," which led on to higher religious thought. In truly archaic cults, however, such as that of the Ssabians of Harran, reflected also in Ibn Wa'shijja's "Book of Nabataean Agriculture," the ... I, Xerxes, Cambyses, etc., is paradoxical for a poem which is meant to celebrate the Iranian empire. Presumably Firdausi meant that so long as the Zoroastrian religion reigned, time was holy and thus belonged to myth rather than ordinary history. This is confirmed by a strange statement of the Warners: "Rightly or wrongly, ...
... Morning Star Rises: An Account of Polynesian Astronomy (1941), nos. 327, 380; Beckwith, p. 368; K. P. Emory, Tuamotuan Religious Structures and Ceremonies (1947), p. 61. For the Hyades and Pleiades as "celestial hunting nets" of the Chinese sphere, see G. Schlegel ... whirlpool that marked his downfall. What had once been science has become with them pure technology, bent on preservation. A. Barb once coined a simile- he had revealed religion in mind, however, not science; dealing with the relation between magic practices and religion, he pointed to Matt. xxiv.28, Luke xvii.37 ...
... * Geo. F. Chalmers, F.R .A .S .: "The Story of the Comets." ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY AND COMETS 118. As the religious beliefs of the ancients have a very direct bearing on this investigation, it is not out of place to draw attention here to the initial reasons for their often strange ... which, until its meaning is recognised as relating to a comet, appears visionary, fantastic, and strange. Yet long ago the Phoenicians, as the vestiges of their religion passed down by Sanchoniathon show, recognised the comet as the hand of God and as the visible representation whereby He manifested Himself, and so they used this device. ...

... vessel of Nu (Egyptian legend), the vessel built by Manu (Vedas of India), etc. Most books attempt to authenticate the various stories by comparison, religious faith, etc. No one has seriously evaluated Noah's Ark as a sea going barge. Such an examination is possible using the artifact measured dimensions published in "The ... such a single special purpose in mind, was the flood event predictable? The Epic of Gilgamesh says it happened "when the fixed time arrived". Our several major religions claim its coming to have been the subject of divine communication with Noah. However, engineering concepts must relate to the existence of the artifact along lines of mechanism because ...
