... extravagant implausibility, nothing in theology or metaphysics can hold a candle to the [Big] Bang. Surely, if this description of the cosmic genesis came from the Bible or the Koran rather than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it would surely be treated as a preposterous myth." Cardona Offers: But the theory did come from a religious work. Here's a short selection from Chapter 1 of GOD STAR by yours truly: Begin quote: In fact, even that so-called pillar of astrophysics, the Big Bang Theory, had been much earlier posited in a religious work. In the Book of Genesis, Elohim, usually translated into English as "God," begins the ...
692. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion [advert] [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Advertisement Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane STILL AVAILABLE Earthlings have long been fascinated by the planet Mars. Well before modern science fiction speculated about advanced civilizations upon Mars and the dire threat of invasion by little green men, the red planet was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence, and apocalyptic disaster. In an attempt to appease the capricious planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. What is there about this distant speck of light in the night sky that could have inspired such bizarre conceptions culminating in ritual murder? And how do we ...
693. The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon VI:6 (Dec 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Double Axe and the Celestial Twins Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs Introduction It has become a habit among mythologists and students of religion to systematically ignore oddities and irregularities in ancient testimony, stressing only what is deemed sound and intelligible from a modern point of view. A prime example of this unspoken principle, which has in fact been attested since the appearance of Plato's Dialogues, is the explanation given to anomalous superstitions in lightninglore. No one will deny the central place lightning and thunder storms occupy in the everyday experience of the godly realm. As a matter of fact, the concept of the storm god ...

695. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... past global cataclysms experienced by mankind. "The fourth paper, by WILLIAM MULLEN, compares apocalyptic writings from the Old and New World. These writings suggest that society is restructured after a catastrophe. The survivors seek stability through worship of what they think is an appropriate deity and through ritual activities. When another apocalypse is imminent, a new religion emerges or old religions are altered in an attempt to avert the impending disaster. Mullen shows how a catastrophe which occurred in the distant past becomes, because of religion, an apocalypse which will occur in the future. "Where Mullen has discussed catastrophe as it is expressed through religion, the next paper, by IRVING WOLFE, proposes ...
696. Aeonic Aphorisms [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:2 (Feb 1988) Home | Issue Contents Aeonic Aphorisms Roger Wescott CATASTROPHE AND PREHISTORY: Catastrophe is self-effacing. Each disaster obliterates not only the effects of its predecessor but the memories of its most vulnerable survivor-man. CATASTROPHE AND RELIGION: As all history is case-history, all cults are crisis-cults. CONSENSUALISM: Consensus generates a false sense of cognitive security-and nowhere more than in academia. CONSENSUS: The smugness of consensus is the courage of mobs. DOUBT AND DOGMA: Every doubt becomes a dogma and must be doubted in turn. EDUCATION: Education involves making sporadically explicit what is continually implicit. FOCUS: Conventional science is a futile effort to see everything ...
697. The Prophetic Tradition [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:2 (Feb 1998) Home | Issue Contents The Prophetic Tradition http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/1592/This Web page is dedicated to the proposition that scripture and myth are authentic accounts of history and that science, religion, and myth can be reconciled within the context of the Prophetic Tradition. The Stele of Narum-Sin. Shamash, Saturn atop his thrown mountain, Venus is to the left The Prophetic Tradition is a system of symbolic types used by the prophets for the transmission of gospel truths, sacred history, and priesthood ordinances. This system is based on the historical cosmology of our universe ...

... its art, literature and philosophy. The scholars of the Humanist Renaissance believed in the dignity of man and the realisation of human happiness through intelligent inquiry. Detailed descriptions of nature and rigorous experimentation by the brilliant thinkers of the time further established the foundation of the modern world-view, with its new perspectives and values and problems. Blind faith and religious mysticism were being replaced by the empirical sciences and the use of reason (mathematics and logic). One may contrast the early careful speculations of Nicholas of Cusa and Nicolas Copernicus with the later bold vision of Giordano Bruno and the remarkable discoveries of Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. In these times of human exploration and social unrest, Leonardo ...
699. Planetary Worship [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 3 (Feb 1986) Home | Issue Contents Planetary Worship Dwardu Cardona That ancient man worshipped the planets as gods is not a new revelation. The study of classical texts, of cuneiform tablets, even the pages of our own Bible, have long illuminated this oft-ignored aspect of ancient religions. It is therefore incredible that, from time to time, people like Chris Boyles find it necessary to question this verity. What is even more surprising is that Boyles can bring himself to state that the astronomical origin of the major gods of antiquity is a premise that has been "pulled out of a hat'.(1 ) Derek Shelley-Pearce criticized ...
700. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Science www.maverickscience.com Welcome to my personal web page. For over two decades now, I have been involved in the development of a unified theory of myth and science- the so-called Saturn theory. The Saturn theory has profound and wide-ranging ramifications for a host of scientific disciplines, including astronomy, planetary geology, psychology, comparative religion, and linguistics among others. The burgeoning research in this field inspired a journal called Aeon (www.aeonjournal.com), for which I serve as publisher and co-editor (together with Dwardu Cardona). I have written dozens of articles and several books in the past twenty years, most of which originally appeared in obscure publications ...
