DID RAIN OF FIRE ON ICE ENABLE FIRST EARTHLY LIFE?
|
|
|
|
Theory Departs Sharply From Conventional Vew

San Francisco, Feb. 20 -- All life on Earth may owe its origin
|
|
to fire and ice, as a rain of immense meteorites shattered the
|
|
thick ice sheathing a primordial ocean more than 4 billion years
|
|
ago, according to a new theory presented by scientists today.
|
|
|
|
In a sharp departure from the conventional scientific view of
|
|
how life began, several leading authorities told the American
|
|
Association for the Advancement of Science that such cataclysmic
|
|
impacts may have intermittently melted frozen oceans and
|
|
triggered in their depths a cascade of chemical reactions that
|
|
spontaneously created the elemental building blocks of life.
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
Battered by the fiery impacts of asteroids greater than 50 miles
|
|
in diameter, the ice would have thawed and refrozen repeatedly,
|
|
perhaps as often as every 100,000 years.
|
|
|
|

Those familiar with the Thule Group, the Vril Society, or Hans
|
|
Horbiger's theories on "Welteislehre" ought to get a kick out of all
|
|
this. For those unfamiliar, consider this quote from Horbiger to Willy
|
|
Ley:
|
|
|
|
It [the origin of the solar system] was revealed to me, when as
|
|
a young engineer I was watching one day some molten steel poured
|
|
on to wet ground covered with snow: the ground exploded after
|
|
some delay and with great violence."
|
|
|
|
Building on this experience like Newton with his apple, Horbiger went
|
|
on to develop a theory of Fire and Ice rarely matched in the annals of
|
|
crackpot science: The sunspots are actually chunks of ice falling onto
|
|
the sun from Jupiter; the last great race of giants was wiped out some
|
|
120,000 years ago when our third (chronologically speaking) moon fell
|
|
into the oceans; Atlantis was sunk by floods resulting from the capture
|
|
of our present moon -the fourth to orbit our planet- which is of course
|
|
nothing but a ball of ice; the so-called Milky Way is merely a band of
|
|
ice through which a few suns like our own are shining (most of what we
|
|
call stars are actually pieces of ice, of course); and so on.
|
|
|
|
Fastening on this theory, some of the leading members of the Nazi Party
|
|
took up Horbiger's banner (since surely the theories of Jews like
|
|
Einstein and the other corrupt intellectuals and scientists were
|
|
nothing but lies to subjugate the superior Aryan race), they
|
|
"justified" the atrocities of the Ahnenerbe and the Final Solution with
|
|
such garbage as the now-supposedly supportable theory that Jews,
|
|
Gypsies and other sub-human races come from the evolutionary nadir
|
|
between the third and fourth moons -- and being non-human, could be
|
|
treated the same as any other varmints.
|
|
|
|
For those not familiar with Pauwels and Bergier's book _The Morning of
|
|
the Magicians_ (originally published under _The Dawn of Magic_), I
|
|
heartily recommend it. It does tread on some rather shaky, "Terra X" -
|
|
like ground, but is a fascinating read nonetheless.
|
|
|
|
Wonder if those scientists in the newspaper article had read it?
|

Love is the law, love under will.
