... to relatively easy editorial elimination. To be sure, Mr. Ginenthal and I hold a similar view of the development of the Earth and the solar system, which inclines me to share his reactions to Sagan's pronouncements. Yet I am also an experienced editor and discussion leader, required by my work to take a critical approach even of those writings with which I am in basic agreement. I hope that this book...will be accepted for publication by a commercial firm or a university press. Professor Roger W. Wescott The following evaluation by C. J. Ransom states: The book Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky by Charles Ginenthal is an essential reference for anyone interested ...
452. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of its great victory. For it was tied to two centuries of prior changes in the sciences of man and the skies. The philosopher-psychologists Locke, Hume, Fontanelle and Diderot had made of man a mechanical creature, highly determined by external forces. Hutton, the father of geological uniformitarianism, published his Theory of the Earth in 1775. Writes Mason (1962, 403), "Hutton based his view that the rock-forming agencies of the earth were constant on the by now established theory that the solar system was mechanically stable and permanently self-sustaining." The close friendship and association of Darwin with the great U geologists adds credibility to the labeling of a U paradigm. In fact ...
453. To everything there is a season [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XII No. 3 (Spring 1988) Home | Issue Contents To everything there is a season Lewis M. Greenberg The duties of the Editor-in-Chief, at least for KRONOS, have been manifold. Editing, writing, re-writing, reading, proofreading, and typing were only some of the tasks. Coaxing, placating, planning, budgeting, and just simply enduring were others. And while these things have an inevitable reward, they also take their inevitable toll. The job of Editor-in-Chief of KRONOS has required physical stamina, intellectual prowess, and the patience of Job. In short, it has been and continues to be an exhausting responsibility made even ...
454. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Newsletter 2 (Sep 1975) Home | Issue Contents Scientists support Velikovsky Dr C.J . Ransom Writing on the Velikovsky controversy in the August of 1963 issue of Harper's magazine, Eric Larrabee noted: "There is scarcely one of Velikovsky's central ideas - as long as it was taken separately and devoid of its implications - which has not since been propounded in all its seriousness by a scientist of repute". If this was true in 1963, it is all the more true today: the study of this situation which we reprint below first appeared in a bulletin issued recently by the Fort Worth Cosmos and Chronos group, a branch of Cosmos and Chronos ...
455. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... present book. I would not go as far as some commentators in saying that the books brought the great controversy to life when the cause seemed lost; my concept of history is more Tolstoian. Still, the response to the issue was immediate. Eric Larrabee, a publicist, who had a long-standing contract with the Doubleday Company publishers to write a book on the subject, was spurred to publish an article in Harper's magazine about the Velikovsky case. The American Behavioral Scientist issue was expanded, with new contributions by Juergens and Stecchini, and published by University Books two years later. (In the present edition, Dr Stecchini has revised and added much new material to his contributions ...
456. Questions from the Floor [Articles]
... was not relevant and of course that is right, whatever metaphysical or religious position he may have held was not the point, he either showed that those collisions happened or he did not, and we ought to be able to investigate that sort of question on the basis of the evidence, in any case I see no metaphysics in Velikovsky's writings. And on the matter of myth, I don't think that is pure speculation, this from Velikovsky's point of view is the core of his work, it was where he started from, it was what he was professionally trained for, he felt that this could be done scientifically, the study of myths and the discovery of the ...
457. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ." I would not deny, however, that one day a religion might be invented that would deliver a delusional system that would make humankind happier than even a dependence upon truth and consequences. SIN VS SCIENCE If Moses is a scientist, a great inventor, why does he not hallucinate a god who is recognizably a scientist? Yahweh writes; he organizes lists or rules; he keeps books; and little else that is technical; he is the product, not the fountainhead of the science of Moses. Yahweh, though, is an unlimited, ungoverned power. Being a great scientist is certainly sometimes a strong fantasy and even can be hallucinated, but the urge to ...
458. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... suggested "worlds" (planets) "in collision" at the time of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. Few are aware to this day, however, that the peoples of ancient Mesopotamia believed that eons ago Earth itself was born out of a catastrophic planetary collision within our Solar System. This belief, a central element in all Mesopotamian writings, rituals, and religions, was especially expressed in the form of a long epic poem publicly read at the climax of the annual New Year Festival. The tale (or information) related in this epic has been traced to Sumer, the first recognized civilization, which began in Mesopotamia nearly 6000 years ago. But the full text ...
459. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... Lynn Rose so aptly put it in KRONOS XI:3 , p. 58: Part of the pervasively distorted perspective of Cosmic Heretics can be attributed to de Grazia's focus on himself. As if one de Grazia were not enough, we must deal with at least a trinity of de Grazias: (1 ) the author, who usually writes in the first person; (2 ) "Joseph Grace", who carries de Grazia's middle name and supposedly serves as a devil's advocate; and (3 ) the mysterious "Deg", who appears to be the same as de Grazia and the author, except that both Deg and de Grazia are at times said to be ...
460. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Sidonians rounded South Africa as a whole flotilla, but one ship- either by orders or because of a storm at sea- was separated from the rest and landed in Brazil, where the inscription was prepared. It was found in 1872. Gordon contends that the text contains a tripartite format first recognized in 1947 studies of northwest Semitic writings. There are also grammatical forms and expressions which have not turned up elsewhere in Phoenician inscriptions until the 20th century- some after 1950. To Gordon these matters, supported by recent scholarship, preclude the work of a clever forger a century ago who could anticipate these later archaeological discoveries. Frank Moore Cross, on the other hand, ...
