There was the Deep on which the ancient Hebrews saw the spirit, or movement of the Elohim on the waters, and which said to every race and tongue, "____Let there be light and there was light." This upper deep was a bottomless deep and the only bottomless deep or abyss of waters that could exist; and it explains the most puzzling fact that all ancient peoples, even those who lived far from the sea, as the Egyptians, Hindus, Persians, and Babylonians, show by ...

According to what I have managed to put together from the articles I have read, there appears to have previously been an age of darkness during which modern man made his appearance. What are the different opinions as to when Saturn's seminal flare-up [40] occurred? The Hebrew date for the "____Let there be light" event as narrated in Holy Scripture is presently set at 5761. Did Saturn's flare-up coincide with the birth of Venus and/or Earth's capture by the Sun? I'm somewhat confused as to when the Saturnian system started orbiting the Sun (with the "moons" of Saturn trailing after their primary). Did the ...

So far we have only seen evidence to the effect that Saturn was bright; now we shall consider evidence that it shone only briefly. Cardona (71) has suggested that the phrase "____Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3 ) refers to the nova (of proto-Saturn) Indeed, the attentive reader cannot fail but notice that light exists before the creation of the Sun and Moon. Ginzberg refers to this "primordial light" which existed until the Fourth Day and states clearly: "The light created at the ...

Since Cardona's theory is also well founded, it is time to ask the question: did Saturn explode twice? According to the Bible, Saturn definitely exploded twice. In Genesis 1:3 "God said ____Let there be light and there was light. God saw the light was good." (Jerusalem Bible) In Genesis 7:10 "And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the Earth." (King James version) In Kronos V:I (pp. 6 and 7) ...

While I did not expect a pat on the back from Velikovsky for having furthered his theory, I did not expect resentment either. As I later learned through the grapevine, his pronouncement on reading it was: "Cardona has made the flare-up his own ...

The passing of a Velikovskian comet, although sufficiently devastating in its effect, might be considered as of too short a duration to sustain the sort of past that mythology bears witness to.

"And God said, ____Let there be light," and light came upon the deep.

During separation, Earth was saturated with radiation from proto-Saturn, which caused much mutation and was the catalyst for new sequences of evolution for many generations.
