... number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven. . . ?" (vv. 31-7) CONCLUSION The evidence is impressive. The writer of the book of Job knew that the earth had suffered great global catastrophes, encompassing ice and water deluges (the Flood from Saturn), meteorite bombardments, earthquakes and thunderbolts, tidal waves and tides, orbital change, spin axis shift and mountain destruction. He further knew that these colossal events were connected with the movements of the planetary bodies observed in the plane of the ecliptic and, with or without telescopes, he may even have been familiar with features of those planets (the moons of Jupiter; ...

... , cross-cultural comparison to extract underlying ideas, planets as the great gods of the sky- worshippers, Venus as former "comet", Mars as celestial warrior and disturber of the Earth, Saturn as former dominant body in the sky, Jupiter as visible "successor" to Saturn, active role of electromagnetism in an unstable solar system, thunderbolts flying between planets, gravity as an aspect of electricity, catastrophic history of the earth, catastrophe as catalyst in evolution, the psychology of collective amnesia, fundamental challenges to the underpinnings of conventional historical chronologies. People will express opinions on all sides of the different questions raised, but the extremes to which various folks will go to deny ...

... consistent with the idea that Venus is a recent addition to the Solar System. To quote Plato again: Your own (Greek) story of how Phäethon, child of the Sun, harnessed his father's chariot, but was unable to guide it along his father's course and so burnt up things on the Earth and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt, is a mythical version of the truth that there is at long intervals a variation in the course of the heavenly bodies and a consequent widespread destruction by fire of things on the Earth.

274. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... No. 5,1979). Surface of Venus On January 28, 1945, Velikovsky registered a lecture copyright entitled, "Transmutation of Oxygen into Sulfur". "I assumed that on Jupiter and Venus, sulfur must be present; on Jupiter because it acquired much of the water of Saturn, after Saturn exploded, and in great thunderbolts converted the oxygen of the water into sulfur; and on Venus because it brought sulfur from its parental body, Jupiter, and also because in violent discharges it would fuse oxygen snatched from Earth's atmosphere or hydrosphere into sulfur." (Pensée IVR VI, 1973, pp. 35/37 - see also Kronos VI:4 , ...

... , by Velikovsky and Prof. Lynn E. Rose, is a detailed report on the Symposium "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science", held at the A.A .A .S . conference in San Francisco in 1974; the critiques of various speakers at the Symposium are answered in full. Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt: Velikovsky's writings on the global catastrophes that preceded those described in Worlds in Collision. Also awaiting publication are Velikovsky's autobiographical writings, essays on various subjects, as well as a number of psychoanalytical papers, dating mostly to the 1930s. And the list is still not complete. \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0501\ ...
276. Cometary Catastrophes and the Ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... like to emphasize here is what seems to me very important, namely how very reasonable this ancient cosmology would have appeared to the Roman man-in-the-street, postulating as it did, a perfectly visible abode of the gods, namely heaven, and an occasionally visible father of them all who was quite prepared to send out cometary messages of warning and hurl thunderbolts to keep him in order. As late as AD 800-900, Chinese astrologers are known to have been still watching out for these messages in a very organized way, even seeking to detect faint high-level clouds crossing the face of the Sun, so it is no surprise really to discover the elements of this self-evident ancient cosmology (and the ...

... sky resounded as it was shaken, and tall Olympos rocked on its bases....Now Zeus no longer held in his strength, but here his heart filled deep with fury, and now he showed his violence entire and indiscriminately...Out of the sky and off Olympos he moved flashing his fires incessantly, and the thunderbolts....while the flames went up to the bright sky unquenchably, and the blaze and the glare of the thunder and lightning blinded the eyes of the Titan gods, for all they were mighty. The wonderful conflagration crushed Chaos, and to the eyes' seeing and ears' hearing the clamor of it, it absolutely ...

... the glass, the size of some of the melts, and the presence of meteoritic elements - is heating in a plasma arc in space. Crystals embedded in a melt are a feature of chondritic meteorites and the shocked crystals would have retained the memory of their violent history - torn from the surface of a planet or moon by an interplanetary thunderbolt. In this connection then it is noteworthy that the Apollo 15 astronauts found clear green glass at Hadley's rille on the Moon. And from Apollo 11; "All of the silicate minerals are unusually transparent and clear, because of the complete absence of hydrothermal alteration or weakening." Science Vol 167, No. 3918, 30 Jan ...

... phenomena. Modern comets simply do not fit the descriptions from the past. Nor can they account for abundant evidence of fresh looking planetary cratering and scarring. Besides, in an Electric Universe comets are not the apocalyptic threat to the Earth imaginatively portrayed by artists. Such pictures are entirely fanciful because a comet would be disrupted electrically by a cosmic thunderbolt before it hit the Earth. The only visible evidence remaining would be an electric arc crater like Meteor Crater in Arizona. The Electric Universe model grew from the realization that a new plasma cosmology and an understanding of electrical phenomena in space could illuminate the new work being done in comparative mythology. In return the images of events witnessed in ...

... Mars. If only scientists understood the origin of the myths about Mars, the planetary god of war, they might begin to see parallels with earlier irrational human feats to reach the home of the gods - as witness the great pyramids. They might also perceive that the shrapnel covered and blasted hero "died" in a battle involving cosmic thunderbolts. Comparative mythology gives us precise clues about what we should be looking for on Mars and what to expect. It has been far more predictive and explanatory than speculative theories about an undisturbed planet and long-extinct oceans. It gives us a big picture' of the catastrophic forces that recently shaped the planet's surface. Meanwhile, bewildered geologists are ...
