The Theories of Immanuel Velikovsky

This scientist proposes that much of what we understand as religious history is natural galactic phenomena happening to the earth and is recorded as divine intervention.

Velikovsky claims the religious communities of ancient America were trying to explain certain supernatural events with religious language.These are some interesting ideas and are worth investigating.

Regardless of the truth of these theories we must accept the reality that much of the religious tradition of humankind were based on fabricated stories to explain Mystery. The unique religious communities that accepted and celebrate unexplained phenomena were rare. Usually the western scientific method is applied to the explanation of those that celebrated mystery and that society or people is valued less than those that questioned mystery.

Instead of embracing mystery we try to explain it or in a obsession to control all things we try to destroy the unexplained.
