... which is not unreasonable; while J .makes Noah take seven pairs, which is highly dubious. It is to be regretted that such doublets are not more numerous. As we have hinted before, the designation Priestly Code' does not mean that this material was written up from an ancient treasure of myths by priests', that is religious officiants. We shall presently show up the peculiar. scientific' quality of, the material referred to as P, ' a quality which is usually less characteristic of priests who are always inclined to be somewhat non-committal but attributable rather to clerks' of another type: scribes' or literati. With special reference now to the creation accounts ...
772. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... catastrophes had occurred. Moreover, the earth had come so close to total destruction in these episodes that the list of earlier episodes could not be indefinitely long. It had to return to a baseline of a time of systematic stability. Therefore, if Uranus by its many names seemed to be the end of the line of gods in all religions, the system from which Uranus had originated had to be stable. this stable age before Urania could be called Pangea, meaning that all the land was together then and all the world was land- covered [12]. Then I turned my attention to the possible physics of a stable heaven that could have preceded the sky of ...
773. The Great Wave by David Hacket Fischer [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Alps and defeated Florence. Riots and famine in the countryside followed. The empire of Venice was gobbled up by the Ottomans and the French. Rome was sacked in 1527. Famine and low crop yields in the 1490s were common throughout Europe. Inflation increased yearly, as did population numbers. The Reformation and Counter Reformation shattered the Church. Religious conflicts of extraordinary viciousness broke out in every corner of the continent. The impetus seems to have been a sudden surge in food prices in 1564-66 after a series of bad harvests (affecting the Low Countries, England, France, Scandinavia and Switzerland etc.). In Germany, the Peasants' War was particularly violent. In 1529 ...
774. The Holy Grail: Source of the Ancient Science and Spirituality of the Circling Cosmos by Lee Perry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the sky, stories which encoded stellar periodicities and formed the basis of calendrical knowledge. Many verbal images in the Bible, from the Ark of the Covenant to the Temple of Solomon and various prophetic visions can be seen as patterns perceived on the grid. The Church would go to great lengths to conceal from lay devotees the knowledge that its religion stems from such archaic sky worship'. Interesting evidence is presented, including the original pattern as depicted on a Babylonian cuneiform tablet from 1800-1600BC and an early King Arthur story in which the Grail is described as a piece of precious green silk embroidered with a pattern of lines in gold threads. The obvious patterns to be seen are crosses ...
775. An Allerĝd Conflagration? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... of years. The sheer abundance of the snails at this level compared with those in equivalent thicknesses above and below suggests to me that deposition was extremely slow. Derek V. Ager * * * We should be careful here not to prefer a gradual mechanism over a sudden one on purely emotional grounds. There lingers a deep distrust of the religious establishment, which is, I think, very understandable and historically justified. But such a distrust is directed against a powerful and repressive religious establishment as it was over a century ago, and if we continue Darwin's and Thomas Huxley's fight we would be battling windmills. Let me make clear that I am not in favour of a catastrophist ...

... positions (Venus being depicted set within the crescent of Sin, the latter conventionally identified with the Moon); (3 ) evidence from ancient language impossible to reconcile with the current order of the solar system (see Talbott's The Saturn Myth for numerous examples); (4 ) the inordinate role played by the planets in ancient myth and religion, a testament to their decisive influence in ancient consciousness. Thompson's post continues: "these notions absolutely require that the behaviour of the gods as described in myth precisely reconstruct the true dynamic behaviour of the celestial objects associated with them." This is nonsense. Nothing Talbott or I have written supports this statement. It is true that ...
780. Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... weight of space age discovery, has it been Velikovsky, or his critics, that have had to give the most ground? Who could deny that, by comparison with the intellectual environment of 1950, the affected sciences have moved dramatically toward more catastrophist models, sounding more Velikovskian every year? But what about Velikovsky's use of ancient mythical, religious and historical material - a body of evidence the scientific elite, in the 1950's, considered to be ludicrous? Well it seems that even this remaining chasm between Velikovsky and established science is closing. Consider, for example, the work of the British astronomers, Victor Clube and Bill Napier, authors of The Cosmic Serpent, and Cosmic ...
