... , which is the tree of life, this day will draw to a close, and the impending doom will be as naught." God, however, beckoned to the sun, which firmly opposed itself to Moses, saying, "I will not set, so long as Moses lives." [900] When Moses had completed writing the scrolls of the Torah, not even half the day was over. He then bade the tribes come to him, and from his hand receive the scrolls of the Torah, admonishing the men and women separately to obey the Torah and its commands. The most excellent among the thirteen scrolls was fetched by Gabriel, who brought it ...
602. Fire From Heaven [Journals] [SIS Review]
... blast from God' smote the camp of the vast army of the Assyrian king Sennacherib [5 ]. There are many references in myth that might be likened to fire from heaven, but what exactly was meant is difficult to judge. Could it be a description of meterorites, or meteors? Meteorite specialist Alastair McBeath [6 ], writes that meteors are sometimes called fireballs', since they first appear in the sky as a fast-moving bright light, or shooting star. A fireball is defined as an object as bright as Jupiter or brighter. ' A bolide is a very bright fireball. Its name is derived from the Greek word bolis = missile, as in a ...

... and in Greece' [9 ] c) Hittite-speaking rulers were present at Mycenae at least until c.1300 BC d) Mycenaean Greeks could hardly have arrived in Crete earlier than the late fourteenth century BC e) Before the Hittites of Asia Minor in the second millennium BC began to use the Cuneiform script, borrowed from Mesopotamia, to write their own Indo-European language, they had apparently used a pictographic script which was shared by the inhabitants of Greece, Crete and Troy in those early days. In Greece and Crete this Hittite language was displaced in the last part of the second millennium BC by the Mycenaean Greek of the Linear B tablets but at Troy it probably carried on ...
604. Opening the Floodgates [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... could be a very lengthy arid period, a great summer (ekpyrosis). Having established his foundations, Huggett then goes on to consider the history of diluvialism from its rise in Renaissance times through its collapse in the time of Lyell to its resurgence as neodiluvialism in the present day. This is illuminated by quotations of key passages from the writings of the participants. Other quotations, for example from Archibald Geikie's The Founders of Geology (Macmillan, London, 1905), make it clear that received opinion for later generations of geologists was that the diluvialists were extremely poor scientists, which Huggett considers very unfair. Of the Renaissance and Restoration cosmonogists, who incorporated diluvialism in their theories ...
605. Carl Sagan Exposed [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... distinguish between pseudoscience and true science. The reason that Sagan and others, such as Martin Gardner, can publicly mouth their views is their enormous and incredible ignorance of what has been written by those who have investigated this question. Among the philosophers of science one will find little agreement respecting what constitutes Science and Pseudoscience, as R. Landau writes: "For most of this century, numerous scientists and some philosophers have acted, especially in their more public pronouncements, as if there were clear conceptions of the `scientific' and the `pseudoscientific. ' Various forms of intellectual activity (ranging from the so-called social sciences to even less respectable matters like Velikovsky and psychokinesis) have ...
606. Editorial C&AH 15:1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... is about the interesting alternative site of Noah's Ark southeast of Mount Ararat. This should create a lot of interesting interaction by our readers. I do not have to tell you that we are all being hit by the current recession. This means that we are reluctantly raising our rates to ten dollars for American and Canadian subscribers (Canadians must write US funds on their checks) and fifteen dollars for overseas subscribers (whose checks must be drawn on banks with US funds). Also we are raising our back issue costs to ten dollars each. These prices will go into effect October 1, 1993 so you can still renew early to get the old prices. In addition contributions ...
607. Myths, Monuments, and Mnemonics [Journals] [Horus]
... social order was governed by animal instincts and motives. They dressed in animal skins, hunted big game for food, and used natural shelters in caves and rock formations. From these humble beginnings our remote ancestors slowly acquired speech and humanized social organization. Relatively little progress was made in the technology of tools and weapons for thousands of years. Writing and numbers came late in development as did learning the techniques for controlled agriculture. Spiritual concepts remained at a primitive level of animal worship and superstition and were carried with little change into full civilization. This picture has been present in the minds of scientists, scholars, and teachers for decades and, over the years, has become the ...

... harbours that pleased me like sonnets...as I paused upon my map of Treasure Island, the future characters of the book began to appear there visibly...they passed to and fro...on these few square inches of a flat projection. The next thing I knew I had some paper before me and was writing a list of chapters." [4 ] There are maps of Middle Earth, but you can travel there only in the mind. [5 ] Comyns Beaumont mapped Biblical Jerusalem to Edinburgh, and Memphis to Glastonbury- quite literally. Beaumont could not accept that the Jews, whom he despised, were the central figures in the ...
... to keep in mind that the age of geology as a science did not start until after Boulanger's death. In Boulanger's time, geology as a science was in a prenatal stage. But as a road engineer, his observations in the valley of the Marne made him draw conclusions which he found substantiated in the existing books of folklore and sacred writings by the classical writers available to him either in originals or in translation. He was convinced that the Deluge was a global occurrence, although this was no innovation on his part but an accepted notion in his time. Boulanger, in fact, was the author of the entry Deluge in the great French Encyclopedie edited by Diderot. In ...

... treated), the varieties of rain-fed waterdownslides, the rising of waters below the ground from higher waters of distant sources and. more obviously, the melting of ice. Tides. on the other hand, are moving waters led by other moving forces. We are not concerned here with ordinary lunar tides, of whose perplexities I. Michelson writes, "We are to this day unable to decide whether high tides occur when the Moon is in the meridian or whether the exact opposite, low tide, is more nearly correct."[1 ] The implications in this state of affairs, that electrical fields are operative, etc., are not germane here. The palaetiology ...
