... comparison with Velikovsky inevitable), it must be emphasised that these authors differ radically from Velikovsky in their orientation, in their scope of inquiry, and in their conclusions. Unlike Velikovsky, they tend to rely solely on the Bible, and to exclude other historical sources (which they consider "inferior"); also, they frequently introduce religious and political viewpoints into what should be a more neutral inquiry. They oppose uniformitarianism because they see it as leading to statism, high taxes, loose marital bonds, rationalism, atheism, socialism, and communism. They are attracted to catastrophism because they see it as favouring providence, creationism, freedom, marital bonds, private enterprise, ...
802. IN THE BEGINNING [Books]
... ' Note 11- I believe that the frequently iterated expressions, it was so' (five times), it was good' (six times), and and there was' (once), are, if anything, confirmatory of the factuality of the events described, and of the actuality of the observation. Regarded from a religious point of view these expressions would be very weak, as no confirmation of the result of the divine creative commands should be necessary. Note 12 - It will be appreciated that the words God' and Lord God' used in the mythological parts of the Book of Genesis cover several different conceptions of the deity. Since those parts of ...

... motivation in writing the book(s ) is to support ideas expressed in Vedic literature. In the Foreword to The Hidden History of the Human Race, Phillip Johnson (School of Law, University of California, Berkeley and author of Darwin on Trial) writes, I .. . do not think that there is anything disreputable about a religious outlook which is candidly disclosed. Scientists like other human beings all have motives, and biases that may cloud their judgement'. That is undoubtedly true but there are special dangers when scientific ideas emerge from religious conviction, rather than observation and evidence. For example, who can estimate the potential damage to human lives caused by Neville Hodgkinson ...
804. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... , refer to the conflict between the Sun-goddess and the Storm-god. The second half of V's passage, based on Aston p.110, refers to a different episode of Japanese mythology, namely, the history' of Emperor Kami Yamato Ihare Biko, otherwise known as Jimmu Tenno. Geoffrey Parrinder, in his "Dictionary of Non- Christian Religions" (1971) writes: In Jananese tradition the first emperor of Japan, ruled from 660 BC. Everything after that date was accepted as historically true, though writing was not introduced until over a thousand years afterwards. It was said that Jimmu unified Japan and established its government under the guidance of the gods (Kami). ...
805. Genesis and The Origin of Species. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sentence [1 ] to the effect that the creation stories in the opening chapters of Genesis belong to a much later, post-deluge period. He didn't say what led him to that conclusion. My aim is to show why I think he was right. I was further prompted by an address given by our church treasurer in 1998 on How religion has to adapt to the new findings of science', which concluded with unmitigated adulation of Charles Darwin. This is part of my response, written as a series of articles in our church magazine which I put together as a paper entitled Disasters in Genesis'. Early sections of the paper outline the way in which scientific thought in ...
806. From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab [Books]
... and worshipped. Upon which the king began to bless God, and exhorted the multitude to do the same, as now having sufficient indications of God's favorable disposition to them; and to pray that they might always have the like indications from him, and that he would preserve in them a mind pure from all wickedness, in righteousness and religious worship, and that they might continue in the observation of those precepts which God had given them by Moses, because by that means the Hebrew nation would be happy, and indeed the most blessed of all nations among all mankind. He exhorted them also to be mindful, that by what methods they had attained their present good things ...
807. Thoth Vol III, No. 2: Jan 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , whether we regard Indra's sky-borne missile as being composed of iron or stone, it is obvious that by vajra no ordinary "lightning-stroke" is meant, as the fall of stones does not typically accompany the latter phenomenon. How then are we to interpret Indra's heaven-hurled "stone"? If we approach the matter from the standpoint of comparative religion, we find that many ancient peoples likewise described "thunderbolts" as stones thrown from heaven. Blinkenberg, for example, in his landmark study of the thunderweapon in ancient lore, summarized the ancient conception of lightning as follows: "The lightning, then, is produced by a stone which shoots down from heaven to earth." ...
808. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... central theses were that Moses was not Jewish but Egyptian; that he did not originate the monotheistic principle that is at the heart of Judaism but borrowed the concept from the heretical Pharaoh Akhnaton; and that his followers, "a throng of culturally inferior immigrants", (34) did not even create the distinctive rites and practices of their religion but merely adapted the forms used by the Midianites of Arabia to worship their volcano god. Velikovsky first read Freud's early chapters on this theme in Imago in the summer of 1937 while he was in Paris for the International Congress of Psychologists, but apparently he paid them little mind, being absorbed in his Introgenesis project and his medical career ...
809. Paradigm Lost? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... include works by such authorities' on evolutionary theory as the astronomer, Sir Fred Hoyle, and the creationist, Henry Morris. Hoyle's limitations as a biologist are well known (see, for example, C & C Review XIII, pp. 63-68), and Morris is notorious for his selective use of data and quotations to support his religious beliefs. A further source may perhaps be regarded with suspicion, coming from the Evangelical Press, but that still leaves 15 from which Milton could have obtained a reasonable grasp of modern evolutionary theory. Warning bells ring, however, when we read on the back cover that the book provides the evidence against the Darwinian idea that chance is ...
810. The Calendar of Coligny [Journals] [Horus]
... the present time. Since the 19-year cycle is a universal celestial phenomenon, it is natural that well-defined, fundamental similarities will be found between calendar systems based on it. It is small, arbitrary and relatively inconsequential differences that distinguish one from another, minor variations on the universal theme. These differences, in the main, represent cultural and religious influences rather than technical divergences. The invariable elements of calendars based on the Sun-Moon cycle are the length of the cycle itself, 19 years, the lengths of the lunar and solar years, 354.37 and 365.24 days respectively, the length of the lunar month, 29.53 days, the number of lunar months ...
