Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creation-Story of Genesis I: A Sumerian Theogony and Cosmogony The Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle, Bishop of Missouri, in delivering a sermon before a body of theological students on "How to make the people contribute liberally towards the support of the Church," remarked: "You must milk the cows! The more and the oftener you milk them, the more milk they will give." Although somewhat vulgar, yet the simile fits the case exactly. The same is true of the study of the Bible. The more we study it, the more we draw from it, the more it will yield: milk of life, - both for the soul and the brain! The same idea was also expressed by Dr. Martin Luther who compared the Bible to a beautiful and fruitful tree. The more and the oftener we pluck its fruit, the more it will give us. But not everybody knows "how to milk," nor does everybody know "how to pluck the fruits." If done carelessly and thoughtlessly, the "milking" as well as the "plucking of the fruit" may become dangerous, - we may fall from the tree! If there are some who thus fell from the tree while trying to pluck its fruit, who will dare to say that it was the tree's fault that the plucker fell down? Was it not, on the contrary, the plucker's own carelessness, his own fault? Exactly so it is with the "Higher Criticism." Higher criticism, if thoughtlessly and carelessly applied to the Bible, will and must be hurtful: not for the Bible, however, for it will remain undaunted, but for him who aspires to be a "higher critic." And how many there are who want to be what they cannot be: higher critics! A true higher critic's aim is not to destroy the Bible, but to understand it, - understand it historically. Thus he will apply the higher critical methods as given by "history." In history the divine will is carried out. The Bible when thus "read in the light of history" will yield fruits of which nobody ever dreamed, - fruits ripened in ages past and saved for our present times to gather. Indeed, the Bible is a wonderful tree with manifold fruits: tiny shoots have been engrafted on it from time to time by different gardeners, - shoots taken from other trees raised on foreign soil. These gardeners belonged to a people that was not surrounded by a "Chinese Wall," nor were they blind, deaf, or dumb. They had eyes and saw, ears and heard, mouths and spoke.

This god "who passes our understanding" had two children, UD and dinsir Innanna. The god UD "the bright, or shining one," is called in the oldest inscriptions, "the king filled with splendor,"1 and is identified in the later inscriptions with the god Sha-mash or "the sun." His sister or wife--for that is the same in the oldest inscriptions2--is the "goddess of Innanna." What the Innanna was we cannot tell as yet. She was later on identified with the "evening star" as well as with "the morning star," the former being the precursor of the moon, the latter that of the sun. As "morning star," which leads the king out to battle, she was considered in later times to be a male god, but retained her...

Download or read book Decoding the Mechanisms of Antikythera Astronomical Device written by Jian-Liang Lin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic design methodology for decoding the interior structure of the Antikythera mechanism, an astronomical device from ancient Greece. The historical background, surviving evidence and reconstructions of the mechanism are introduced, and the historical development of astronomical achievements and various astronomical instruments are investigated. Pursuing an approach based on the conceptual design of modern mechanisms and bearing in mind the standards of science and technology at the time, all feasible designs of the six lost/incomplete/unclear subsystems are synthesized as illustrated examples, and 48 feasible designs of the complete interior structure are presented. This approach provides not only a logical tool for applying modern mechanical engineering knowledge to the reconstruction of the Antikythera mechanism, but also an innovative research direction for identifying the original structures of the mechanism in the future. In short, the book offers valuable new insights for all readers who are interested in the Antikythera mechanism.
