Science: Venus on the Loose
(3 of 3)
Biblical scholars were inclined to agree with the scientists. Said President Nelson Glueck of the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati: "Dr. Velikovsky can get absolutely nowhere by referring to Biblical material . . . You can prove almost anything by the Bible." Said Historian Carl Kraeling, director of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago: "There is nothing we as historians can do about Dr. Velikovsky's work other than smile and go about our business."
*The Bible mentions no such comet or spark. "And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." (Exodus 14:21.)
