... indeterminate long past. It would let you give up your attempt to destroy what is generally considered to be the necessary long-term dating and evolutionary process. Further, all the religious practices and beliefs associated with planets (accepting your evidence of this as sufficient) would naturally result from their being the regularly observed bodies that are most similar to comets ... . You also grant that no great new body has disturbed the skies since Mars did so in 687 B.C . Nevertheless, we have had new gods and new religions since then; Jesus. Mahomet, maybe even Buddha, and an infinite number of minor gods have arisen here and there in the world. Furthermore you attribute the ...
592. From the Great Extremity to which the Jews were reduced to the taking of Jerusalem by Titus [Books]
... Jews would naturally have against Romans, had they been guilty of such abuses against them, the Romans now had against Jews, for their impiety in regard to their own religious customs.

... the Moabite god Baal Peor.(34) But then neither does this incident concur with his fifth law.

One fact, however, stands clear - and that is that the tradition of the Exodus and the wandering in ... honor and pay homage to the Moloch and their other Saturnian Baalim until the advent of their Babylonian captivity. Only then did Yahweh begin to assert himself. The history of religion needs to be rewritten. Saturn was not only the national god of the Scythians and the Phoenicians as well as the Canaanites, Ammonites, Moabites, and Carthaginians. ...
... embraced all the sources of information upon which Dr. Velikovsky draws (from the New World Codices to the extensive geological records), is the same man whose philosophy and religious tenets became bankrupt, as Nietzsche's madman proclaimed before the turn of the century. Although this announcement went unheeded, the same message assumed material form in the massive destruction ... an apocalyptic cosmos. This is only a shift in perspective. The spadework, and most of the superstructure, have been done long ago at the formation of the world religions, as Velikovsky argues so convincingly. I will present evidence that the New World Hopis built their cosmology on catastrophism. For a present-day example, the authors of the ...

... itself, in reduced degree, at intervals of about 52 years, as the comet dropped its tail and assumed a more circular orbit. When it did approach, extreme religious celebrations were inaugurated in places as far apart as Palestine and Central America, celebrations that continued until recent times and were invariably connected with planet Venus. The disasters on ... presented at the IX Congress of the International Union of Prehistorical and Protohistorical Sciences, Nice, 1976.) Catastrophes are defined as large-scale intensive natural disasters. All the world's religions are founded upon original catastrophes.

... ), p. 56. 32. Ibid., p. 99. 33. Ibid., p. 60. 34. Interestingly enough, Darwin traced the religious impulse- at least in part- to Lamarckian effects. Of mankind's tendency to believe in a First Cause (or a god), he wrote that it " ... Sigmund Freud remained an ardent Lamarckian throughout his long life.

By 1875, too, Ernest Renan was widely known for his social-scientific studies of religion and myth, foreshadowing The Golden Bough of James Frazer, of whom it has been said that "Frazer seems an English Renan, so close do the two men ...
