... . Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill and prayed there when Joshua fought with Amalek. At some stages of the battle Amalek had the upper hand, but EXODUS 17:13-16 .. . Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book .. . for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. The rabbinic tradition ...
362. The Egyptian Prince Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , Artapanus states that Moses: [6 ] .. .was the inventor of ships and machines for laying stones, and Egyptian arms, and engines for drawing water and for war, and invented philosophy. Further, he divided the State into thirty-six nomes, and appointed the god to be worshiped by each nome, and the sacred writing for the priests, and their gods were cats, and dogs, and ibises: he also apportioned a special district for the priests. All these things he did for the sake of keeping the sovereignty firm and safe for Chenphres [his foster father]. For previously the multitudes, being under no order, now expelled and now ...
363. Introduction (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... had made this small nation to regard itself as a very great' one, in fact, as the only one which really mattered in this, world. Their God was the One True God, and he was not only addressed as the Maker of the Earth, but he was also, regarded as the ultimate author of the holy writings. This idea of the divine inspiration of the Bible, and hence also of the cosmogonic accounts has survived almost into our own days. It was the main obstacle which prevented, on the one hand, inquiry into the content of truth of the accounts of world creation and world destruction and, on the other hand, made it ...
364. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an English translation of this in the Review. .. . I would be only too willing to send you for the SIS Library, as a gift, a copy of my friend Dr Herbert Illig's book Die Veraltete Vortzeit. But will there be anybody there, at SIS, who understands enough German? Please, be so kind and write some words if you are interested in my offer. In your comment, incidentally, you make much of the high, superior, quality level of contributions for the Review. Isn't that a bit of an overstatement? May I state in all modesty that I feel competent to judge such matters: I cannot find any especially superior level ...
365. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... . But, this is not the attitude maintained in Worlds in Collision, where all errors and contradictions seem to be handled as representing real evidence for deviations in the path of Venus. May I refer you to p. 207 of the current, 1973, Laurel paperback edition of Worlds (text unchanged from previous editions), where Velikovsky writes " The invisibility of Venus at superior conjunction is given as 5 months 15 days instead of the correct difference of 2 months 6 days, ' noted the translators, wonderingly.4 " Footnote 4 of this passage in Worlds, p. 207, refers to the Langdon-Fotheringham text, The Venus Tablets, p. 106. This is ...
366. Synodos, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... their feet pointing toward each other. . . . Another marvel, that the earth herself hangs suspended and does not fall and carry us with it."11 The earth, one of the planets, had been subject to conflicts with other planets, and traces of knowledge of these occurrences may be found in the early writers. Origen writing against Celsus stated: "We do not refer either the deluge or the conflagration to the cycles and planetary periods; but the cause of them we declare to be the extensive prevalence of wickedness, and its (consequent) removal by a deluge or a conflagration."12 Celsus and Origen were familiar with the view that the deluge ...
367. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... There is therefore much uncertainty in such apparently confident claims concerning cometary impacts as: "a few in the 100-1,000 megaton range, must have occurred within the past 5,000 years." [11] The authors need Velikovsky's research, or something equivalent, to show that what might have happened did happen. Unrepentant, they write in Winter' in terms reminiscent of the early attacks of the astronomical establishment. Velikovsky's theories are "patently absurd... Velikovsky was a psychiatrist who had studied under Freud, but whose incursion into the domain of astronomers was to prove an intellectual disaster." [12] The absurdity mentioned is in the notion that planets may ...
368. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 1 No 4 (1993) Home | Issue Contents Oberg's Unscientific Method Charles Ginenthal "Scholars are not expected to take anyone's word on faith."(1 ) I thank James E. Oberg for taking the time to write a critical reply to "The Moon in Upheaval."(2 ) His criticism of that work, while very incomplete, unfortunately often turns out to be factually incorrect and is based on carefully evading the evidence produced. His criticism tends to argue three points. They are: to attack the citations presented, while, at the same time, calling them "factually correct"; to attack the lack of mathematical ...
369. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... A split personality was born, essentially a self-awareness. The new humans depended upon delusory projections for survival against grave anxieties. A grasp upon memory and feeling for time erupted with self-awareness. The sign and symbol spread. Systematic recollection developed. Memoria is daughter of Uranus and mother of the muses, including history, who is Cleo: so writes Hesiod. Group history, and therefore collective futures, commenced. Invention, creativity, planning and institutions then grew. All of this frenzied human development and activity occurred in the sight of the great god proclaimed Uranus. The Urbild, as the Germans call the primordial image, was Uranus, the origin of the very word. Figure ...
370. The Cautious Revolutionary [Journals] [SIS Review]
... at the concept of the individual as the unit of selection, not a totally separate theory - see review in SIS Review V:4 [1981], pp.104-5.) All these and many other topics are worthy of further discussion. However, we will concentrate our attention on the subject that has a central role in Gould's writings, the pace of evolution. Gould's reputation as a scientist is associated, apart from his detailed investigation of the land snails of the Bahamas, with the theory of punctuated equilibrium [3 ]. Together with Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History, Gould has argued since 1972 that punctuational change dominates the history of life: ...
