... , I effectively and forcefully answered my opponents, as documented by the AAAS tape-recording of the symposium. It was the challenger to whose delivery the huge audience of nearly fifteen hundred responded with a prolonged standing ovation. However, upon the completion of the symposium, the majority of the press in the United states and in England was orchestrated to write almost identical reviews. In a separate publication, Science and Conscience, the arguments of my opponents will be answered in full by me and by various specialists; but the whole affair will be treated as a study of the behaviour of the scientific community that neglected its debt to the public, to truth, and to its own conscience ...
322. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... article. Although Immanuel Velikovsky considers Ages in Chaos, his historical reconstruction, to be his opus magnum, for over 20 years ancient historians and archaeologists have ignored this aspect of his work. It is therefore gratifying to note that Prof. W. H. Stiebing, Jr. has broken the silence. Stiebing has obviously read Velikovsky's published writings on this topic, and has considered not only what is written but its applicability and ramifications. Unlike his colleagues, who may or may not have done even that much, he has gone a step further. In the Fall, 1973 issue of this journal he voiced "a criticism of the revised chronology" (1 ). ...
323. The Revelation of John (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... also 3, 19; iv. I;xxii. 10), he imparts to the concrete happenings of the past the abstract form of a vision. The time of the events which are about to be described is the Lord's day' or the terrible day of the wrath of Yahweh' which so frequently looms up in the Jewish writings. The cosmic passages of chapters i, iv, v only describe, figuratively speaking, the dawn' of this awful day'. A description of the stage and the actors is given. The scene is laid in heaven, and rightly so, for at the time immediately before the beginning of the breakdown of the satellite the ...
324. The Legends of the Jews: Volume III [Books]
... Moses offered the following excuse for their worship of the Golden Calf: "O Lord, dost Thou not know whence Thou hast brought Israel, out of a land of idolaters?" God replied: "Thou desirest Me to forgive them. Well, then, I shall do so, now fetch Me hither tables on which I may write the words that were written on the first. But to reward thee for offering up thy life for their sake, I shall in the future send thee along with Elijah, that both of you together may prepare Israel for the final deliverance." [305] Moses fetched the tables out of a diamond quarry which God pointed out ...
325. Rockenbach's 'De Cometis' and the Identity of Typhon [Journals] [SIS Review]
... "suffered an almost complete eclipse", and from then to the end of the Middle Kingdom, "Horus alone appears as the true patron of the monarchy". (4 ) However, the worship of Seth was then brought to the forefront of religion in Egypt by the invading Hyksos. "There can be no doubt, " writes Van Seters, ". .. that the Hyksos worshipped Seth as Lord of Avaris', the principal deity of the monarchy"; they adopted him as "the patron deity of their rule" (5 ). It is my theory that the first Hyksos ruler of Egypt adopted the name of this deity; that is, ...
326. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... the ratio of longest day in the year to the shortest day of the year, and we find it in Babylon, we do not accept these values because they are impossible. Three to one, there is no such thing. But the very same thing in Egypt. Neugebauer wonders here [about Babylon]; ten years later he writes another article, about Egypt, [and] wonders for the second time, not remembering that he wonders already once about Babylon on the very same subject. [laughter] Well, this is the situation. It is very composite structure. It is not given to so simple thing as to say: Well, people have travelled ...
327. Palaeomagnetism And Archaeomagnetism [Books]
... Aside from the complete reversals or flip-flops of the magnetic field, the magnetic poles have wandered gradually throughout the period of magnetic history readable in the rocks. We can only suppose from this that the Earth's axis of rotation has changed also. In other words, the planet has rolled about, changing the location of its geographic poles', writes S. K. Runcorn.3 197 `On the basis of the geocentric axial dipole representing the true nature of the magnetic field over such lengths of [geological] time, the only possible interpretation is in terms of changes of latitude and orientation of both Britain and North America .. .. Recent work on rocks from Australia ...
328. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... observed climatological time series measured in ocean sediments and ice cores. Since the alleged deviations are relatively recent, they are not necessarily connected with the obliquity and other conditions that produced the last glaciation and its retreat. My original statement stands. Models are accepted for their usefulness, not their theoretical possibility. Although this remark was directed at Warlow's writing, it applies as well to David Salkeld's letter The Velikovskian Challenge Today' in Workshop 1987:2 , p. 30. Borrowing Salkeld's syntax, no branch of Science will be persuaded to take Velikovsky seriously until it can be shown evidence acceptable to scientists that the catastrophes happened. Since this is the first time to my knowledge that ...
329. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Carl Sagan has pointed out that none of Velikovsky's correct astronomical predictions are so precisely described in Worlds in Collision or so intimately linked with his theory that they cannot simply be lucky guesses. (34) There are alternative explanations of these "predicted" phenomena which scientists regard as far more likely than the reasons for them suggested by Velikovsky's writings. And so the debate continues. But while most public attention has been focused on the scientific implications of Velikovsky's theory, it should be remembered that it is essentially a historical thesis, not a scientific one. The primary evidence for Velikovsky's view was drawn from ancient texts, myths, and legends. Much of the same material had ...
