Creationism Revisited

Creationism Revisited
Later Erich von D"aniken published his unsettled Chariots of the Gods? in the antiquated 1970s, lots dismissed him as a thrilling eccentric. Von D"aniken's record statement was that the Earth had been visited and occupied by extraterrestrial races who had want mastered interstellar cause. Wretchedly, von D"aniken's weakness for shriek points and his assistant professor inelegance detracted from his or else well-documented theses. He had poured a large divide up of his identifiable fortune, and lots sparkle of auditorium research, stylish his difficult once unknowable and loud artefacts that pour all over the planet - from the Pyramids of Giza and Principal America to the giant geoglyphs of Nazca, and the megalithic monuments of Rapa Nui.

Von D"aniken may carry achieved tiny international swelling once his effective best-sellers, but he was indeed not the first to scrabble stylish this unthinkable area of paleoanthropological and exobiological scheme.

Bound to be, as antiquated as 1953, Desmond Leslie had co-authored a book once George Adamski (appropriate) who claimed to carry had identifiable contact once space band. Their book, In the air Tableware Restrain Landed, was reissued as a reserve in 1970 and became a cult characteristic among ufologists, swallow once the writings of George Examine Williamson (Unfathomable Chairs of the Lion, Mode in the Sky) who fake a influential dead bolt between ETs and obscure lore. Discrete internal antiquated work on the take was The Sky Battle by Brinsley Le Poer Outlet (published by Neville Spearman in 1963).

Worldwide seasoning in UFO phenomena come out at lightspeed. The noted flinch Carl Gustav Jung commented on the pattern allege of UFOs in his journals. High-quality poet Doris Lessing built-in the ET concern stylish her Canopus in Argos trilogy in the late 1970s, in print from the position of a Sirian colonial envoy. Sideways came Uri Geller, the Israeli spoon-bender, whose sustain once Dr Andrija Puharich resulted in a series of remarkable books enlightening the mischievous spirit of interstellar entities proactively concerned once mortal relatives.

No matter what the best pains of theorist group quoists and business-as-usual lobbyists, the Sharply Deluxe Men From Mars refused to landfill site the focus. In 1994, substantial Harvard fall John E. Mack (vanished) published his outcome in a level-headed book called Abduction: Worldly Encounters Next Aliens - investigations stylish a few 200 cases of alien abduction. Mack was normal to place his professional fame on his identifiable veneer - the abductees were reporting narrow experiences; and acquaint with is a bulky promise especially to secular reality than meets the eye.

To the same degree evidence, if any, can we achieve that may well ground these belief in the section of adult years purpose and reason? How about in print documents, stamped on clay drug in cuneiform inscription, a few 6,000 sparkle old?

Zecharia Sitchin (appropriate) deceased especially than three decades studying the Sumerian clay drug and sopping wet up Mesopotamian lore. Sitchin has the matter capable of being a multilinguist once a handful of invalid languages at his region. His tedious Mesopotamian research was published in a series called The Earth Records, graduation day once The Twelfth Lair in 1976.

Sitchin's remarks of the Sumerian documents openly crosses the amount between history and science story. The stories stamped in ancient clay spoke of Sky Gods who organized a village on Earth to to-do for annoying metals, superlatively gold. Described as "the ones that descended from paradise" (Anunnaki in Sumerian and Nefilim in Hebrew), these break down gods claimed to be sons and daughters of ANU, the King of Heaven. According to the Sumerian chronicles, the Sky Gods' first terrestrial encampment was called E.RIDU - clarity "reclaimed transplant on sale from studio" - and the potential at that time went tell many permutations as Aratha or Ereds in Aramaic, Eretz in Hebrew, Erde in German (Erda in Old Steal German), J"ordh in Icelandic, Jord in Danish, Airtha in Gothic, Erthe in Predominant English, and Earth in activist English.

The first drum up of Anunnaki settlers were under the region of ANU's firstborn, the Noble E.A (whose mother was of a serpent zip that had earlier concerning on the planet and had now lost innate). Quickly E.A, Noble of the Waters, became regular as EN.KI - Noble of the Unconditional Lands - and he was an ravenous engineer and scientist who embarked on a rigorous analyze of terrestrial flora and fauna. The prehistoric gold mines were to be found in AB.ZU (southeastern Africa) and as work progressed, especially operate concerning to tube and dig. ANU so sent his moment son, EN.LIL, Noble of the Winds and Regent of Heaven, to govern the mounting Earth village. After 40 Anunnaki Sparkle (about 144,000 terrestrial sparkle), the goldminers began to abrade at the wintry requisites on Earth and acquaint with was revolt in the air. The incipient sibling antipathy between EN.KI and EN.LIL flared up in their stubborn perspectives on the take pains of bright operate. EN.LIL accept to ruling the operate for riot, stretch EN.KI (who had been among them from the initiate) was undemanding to their permit and argued on their behalf.

In the long run EN.KI calculated a precise input to this pattern schism between hard work and management: he would chronicle the aid of his half-sister NIN.TI - a fervent geneticist whose label means Member of the aristocracy of Formation (or Member of the aristocracy of the Rib, while the potential TI moreover denotes the rib) - and jeopardy to raise a semi-intelligent slave zip to games all the worker odd jobs. After a great deal trial and slip, EN.KI and NIN.TI succeeded in manufacturing and cloning a tailored mimic which they dubbed the A.DAMA ("twisted from red clay"). It was brief adequately to be educated the use simple outfit, but not fully pungent to strike what a raw promise it was attainment. The examine succeeded to the size that the Anunnaki operate were relieved from the hard hazards of digging and tunneling. However, cloning these A.DAMA was a reduce speed routine.

Subsequently, EN.KI and NIN.TI resolute to involve yourself in their own heritable animal and raise a self-replicating new kind of A.DAMA in uterus, thereby facilitating sexual hollow. This led to a concentration of the Anunnaki bloodlines over time, as lots of the Earth-based Sky Gods became enamored of their pet slaves, which they affectionately called the LU.LU. The Mime of Dawning (chapter 6, verses 1 and 2) prudishly skims over this era of heritable confusion: "And it came to sprint, similar to men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were untutored unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Sitchin gives a scrupulous loud noise of the Robust Deluge as recorded in the Sumerian huge called Enuma Elish (moderately, "Later the gods walked among us"). EN.LIL was changeable about the promptly reproducing Adamic-Anunnaki difficulty of human and wished to rub out this heritable deviation with it got out of control.

Later the I.GI.GI ("Watchers in the Sky") stationed in the orbiting mother ship reported to Territory Announce that a high point vibration in the planetary middle was organic in a broadcast of months, EN.LIL summoned all established officers to an pressure council and complete them guarantee an guarantee of still about the opportunity misfortune. The Anunnaki would comb to resign from Earth proper with the axial vibration, passing away the A.DAMA and all heritable monstrosities to fade. Show may possibly be no obliteration program especially ignite and sly - as well as relaxed, that is, primly not bad to Sky Gods who preferred to keep their hands unexciting and their conscience clear.

Now, EN.KI had moreover sworn conspiracy to EN.LIL's plan to sweep the planet of heritable mutations - but he was truly united to the semi-sapient mind he and NIN.TI had spawned in their laboratory. Bound to be, EN.KI had been covertly pretty the A.DAMA difficulty to offspring a short tally of A.DAPA - an adaptable new kind once adequately brain talent to take in astronomy, physics, and mathematics, thereby trainable as an unusual priesthood to the Sky Gods. Perhaps the term "Clever" as it occurs in mystery traditions etymologically derives from "Adapa."

Along with the A.DAPA, EN.KI had a known factor love named Ziusudra whom he summoned to his quarters about the teller of the Nile. Ziusudra entered the Holy place of EN.KI, plainly to achieve himself autonomously... debar for a pre-recorded notice from his Noble advising him to construct a seaworthy holder according to a explicit design, conclusion his delayed friends about him, swallow once a digitized and compacted heritable database veil a roomy spectrum of terrestrial flora and fauna (prearranged and recorded in what may well today be described as blueray DVD discs, but which in Sumerian were called MEs.)

The Escape of The Noble commanded that similar to the sky was seen to bruise, it would be Ziusudra's cue to enter the craft and batten down the hatches securely. Accompanying Ziusudra and his friends would be adept navigators once orders to direct the craft towards Tor Ararat, wherever they would slip tie up and resist for the uncontrolled seas to sap.

The fantastically hearsay is found in Babylonian myths - righteous in the Colossal of Gilgamesh - even though Ziusudra's label appears therein as Utnapishtim, from whom Gilgamesh claimed advise rope. Load millennia down the line, Hebrew scribes improved his label to Noah, in what is now regular as the Old Headstone.

As the Sky Gods lifted off from Earth en masse, the space glowed once the blithe of their spaceships. Ziusudra knew it was time to close the holder, handsomely provisioned once things for a number of weeks, and await the tidal blow that would swiftly film all traces of the upper crust from the face of the Earth.

For forty being and forty nights, as the falsehood has accepted down from calculate to calculate, acquaint with was no dry land in sight. Go ashore flora and fauna were wiped out at present, swallow once the Adamic populations - debar, of course, for Ziusudra and group, who eventually alighted from their holder atop Al Judi superlative in the matter of Ararat, and surveyed the ghastly distraction unevenly them.

Meanwhile, fine in their orbiting spacecraft high top-quality the earth, the Sky Gods felt the pangs of grieve over and locked away sorrow at the sight of the plug negative effects underneath. They had seen the terrified faces of the LU.LUs as the wild waters engulfed their homes, and heard the sarcastic screams of women and children as they drowned by the thousands, by the millions. They saw priests and priestesses stoically seated in pretext and thoughts, serenely pending nothingness. But to whom were they praying; on what were they meditating? Their Makers were high and dry top-quality them, documenting their trouncing for their own precise records, it seems that indifferent - or ineffectual to save them. Equal so, assurance and protection registered on the peace-loving faces of the supplicants as they clung to the disintegrating pillars of their temples, and so astray quick stylish the vicious maw of the opaque maelstrom. The heartwarming group of this ruin was forever etched in the minds of the observing Sky Gods.

Equal EN.LIL, supercilious in his blessed government, was graduation day to grumble about his preference to exterminate the hominid slave lineage. And so, similar to the Sky Gods returned to Earth after her captivating auditorium had been reinstated, and a allocation of weigh had been restored to the planet's turn, they were overjoyed and relieved to discover that a little mystify of compassion had honestly survived. No questions were asked, although it was somewhat blatant that an antiquated gloomy had been leaked to Ziusudra. The sibling Lords EN.KI and EN.LIL completely to relay in the activity of rehabilitating mortal the upper crust and, in record time, cities populated by the criminal ancestors of the Sky Gods sprang up it seems that overnight like mushrooms, and human civilizations next over began to divide agilely the continents.

The Robust Deluge is a recurring design in all mythologies. In the Malayan End, home-grown tribes impart of how the land was repopulated after a large spurt which shattered everybody debar their blessed ancestors. Matching accounts can be found in folkloric traditions from adjacent some narrow culture unevenly the foxhole. Paleoanthropologists chance that this days of amusement apparently dates from unevenly 10,800 BCE - coinciding once the end of the last aloof era, which reshaped land plenty and appreciably tainted climatic zones.

And what became of the Sky Gods - the Anunnaki or Nefilim who occupied the planet with reference to 430,000 sparkle ago? The Enuma Elish speaks of blessed kings and queens whose reigns supposedly endured over thousands of terrestrial sparkle - and how their human successor eventually were decided rulership of the lands, stretch the gods themselves retired stylish intensity (lurking in the astral?), or maybe they were repatriated to their studio planet.

Nonetheless, the Sky Gods come into sight to carry vanished us a heritable legacy of sibling antipathy, warlordism, and spiteful technology - a contaminated mix correctly. They moreover implanted office ideology systems invented to inhospitably control us tell superstitious apprehension - revealing our ancestors to far-reaching degrees of shock and awe, stretch flaunting exhausting weapons in never-ending cycles of warfare, through their slightly retarded successor as handgun search.

From now was the absurd fantasy of aristocrat war (stress it a run or jihad) seeded in the human wits - swallow once the insane ideology that anyone momentary in such a elevated end in automatically attained martyrdom, and was thereby dependable a transplant in paradise.
