... represented as other subjects. Nevertheless, I hope that the interdisciplinary nature of catastrophism turns up something for everyone.

492. The Curse. Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... put in the mouth of Tiresias when he cursed Creon for denying burial to the fallen prince. The Egyptian origin of the Theban cycle of legends can be recognized in the fact that the question of burial is so much in the forefront of the plot. The theme of Oedipus at Colonus and, to an equal degree, of Antigone and Seven against Thebes is the problem of burial. The great concern of Oedipus when he was king was to be buried in Theban soil after his death, but after his exile he would not return to Thebes to have his remains buried there. In Sophocles' version of the legend, he insisted that his grave be hidden and its site ...
493. The Evolutionist-Creationist Battle: A Threat to Catastrophist Evolution (Focus) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... lost. Two major factors helped to speed them on their way. It would appear that the Attorney-General, Steve Clark, defending the suit for the state, might not have done all he could in the matter of legal advice or prime witnesses. A battery of lawyers on the side of "science" were lined up to gun down seven science witnesses for the Creationists, one of whom, Geisler, ". .. tarnished his credibility somewhat by declaring that UFOs were agents of Satan" (Science 1.1 .82, p. 34), and another, Wickramasinghe, did little to help the cause (see below). The tactics used by the ...

... have no idea of how, where or when such formations came into existence. It depends on silica being deposited out of solution in order to bind the original sand grains together and over half a dozen theories as to how this could take place have been put forward. It is notable that they all involve slow processes; also, of seven different physical changes which can result in silica being de- posited out of solution, the one arbitrarily dismissed is cooling, the temperatures involved being considered far too high. Catastrophic-type electrical discharges, producing high temperatures, are naturally not among the uniformitarian's explanatory armoury. However, evidence for a quite rapid formation is the frequent presence of holes ...
495. Chapter XVII: the Building Inscriptions [Books]
... by the star d, which lies nearly in the centre of the modern constellation of the Great Bear, supposing, indeed, that the same stars were included in the old constellation. On this point we unfortunately have no definite knowledge, as the Thigh is so variously represented, sometimes there is a hind-quarter, represented evidently by the well-known seven stars, at others the body of a cow (with horns and disk) is attached. However this may be, without such a reference to some particular part of the constellation it is obvious that the stretched cord may have had a most indeterminate direction. In order to leave no stone unturned in attempting to explain this description- ...
496. Chapter XV: Temples Directed to the Stars [Books]
... to the sun would remain so for a long time, still, after some thousands of years, the change in the obliquity of the ecliptic would produce a small change in the amplitude at which a solstice is observed. But while, in the case of the sun, we have to deal with a change of something like 1 in seven thousand years; we have to face in the case of the stars a maximum change of something like 47 in a period of thirteen thousand years. The change of declination must be accompanied by a change of amplitude, and therefore by a change in the direction of the temples. Ground Plan of the Temple of Hathor at Denderah Plan ...

... of locusts can be explained in this way. But in the cells of man, a mechanism will be activated causing the healing of vulnerable parts of the body, hence (temporary) immortality. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand .. . and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.[Revelation 11:13,19] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.[Revelation 12:4 ] And he does great wonders ...
498. THE SURFACE OF VENUS--"A NEWBORN BABE" [Journals] [Aeon]
... volcanic and geologically active. In 1985, Dr. Lawrence Colin, Chief of the Space Science Division at nasa's Ames Research Center and co-editor of Venus, wrote: .. .Our knowledge of Venus was still seriously limited in the early 1960s prior to mankind's first rendezvous by spacecraft. In 1961 competing views of Venus could be classified in seven broad categories: 1. moist, swampy, teeming with life. 2. warm, enveloped by a global carbonic-acid ocean. 3. cool, Earth-like, with surface water and a dense ionosphere. 4. water, massive precipitating clouds of water droplets with intense lightning. 5. cold, polar regions with ice caps 10 kilometers ...
499. Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SEVEN Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects * (* This paper is an edited version of a talk to a meeting of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, London 26 April 1980. The help of Mr. Peter James on important points of material evidence is gratefully acknowledged.) Whether from timidity or misapprehension, hypotheses of general destruction about 3500 years ago are felt to be based upon scraps of evidence from scattered and often unreliable sources, whereas their conventional counter-theses are solidly founded. To the contrary, as I shall maintain here, the evidence from this period points to an extraordinary destruction in culture ...
500. Chronos And Kronos [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the preceding early period of Greek culture. The references may be found under the entry "Kronos" in the standard reference works for classical studies, such as Real-Encyclopäidie der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaft and Roscher's Ausführliches Lexikon des Griechischen und Römischen Mythologie. It is because of Kronos's association with time that his name was given to the most distant of the seven heavenly bodies; in pre-Greek Oriental chronological systems a particular significance is given to this planet, Saturn for us, because it concludes its orbit in 30 years, so that a day in its year corresponds to a month in the Earth's year. When the Romans identified their own god of agriculture Saturnus with the Greek Kronos, they made ...
