More Evidence God Was a Volcano

AMOS 9: 5-10
5The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
he who touches the earth and it melts, (Touches the earth with fingers of lava)
and all who live in it mourn
the whole land rises like the Nile, (Sudden continental drift making the land rise?)
then sinks like the river of Egypt— (Tsunami after Santorini?)
6he who builds his lofty palaceb in the heavens (Heavens being the cloudy top of the volcano)
and sets its foundationc on the earth, (His 'lofty place' goes from sky to ground)
who calls for the waters of the sea ('calls for' meaning 'draws'....tsunami)
and pours them out over the face of the land—(Return of tsunami)
the Lord is his name.
7“Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites?”
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, (Santorini brought Israel 'out' of Egypt)
the Philistines from Caphtore (Crete...close to Santorini and badly affected)
and the Arameans from Kir? (more research needed!)
8“Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy it
from the face of the earth—
yet I will not totally destroy
the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9“For I will give the command,
and I will shake the house of Israel (with rumbles of seismic shifting earthquakes)
among all the nations
as grain is shaken in a sieve,
and not a pebble will reach the ground.
10All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’

I've been sending out the link to my blog to lots of atheist websites and forums and, although just a trickle for now, I am seeing an increase in receptiveness. I am also receiving messages from people who have either realised this already or have written articles, or who are in the process of doing 'something'. I believe this theory will get off to a very slow start but then suddenly go viral because, knowing what I know about prominent atheists, there will be a lot of vocal people who will change their tune in an instant and come out with, 'Oh, I knew all that already. Nothing new to me.' Well, whatever helps them save face is fine by me.

The above verses were brought to my attention by Newsvine and you can find a lot more like it here.

An important point to make about 'Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt' above is that Israel was a people and not a place. That is probably quite a well known fact but I wanted to point it out anyway.

Article by The Jackel.....I have given much thought about posting this Satanical and blasphemous article on Newsvine, and it has been a while since I have posted such an article of evil. One may believe I have been tempered in the light, but yet I have a scorching urge to post such darkness of the flaming tongue. Continue reading article here...scroll down page.

So, which atheists with websites about the falsity of god will be next to cover a subject about the falsity of god?

Allah the Volcano God

Once the reality dawns on the muslims that it was all due to volcanic activity maybe the world will start to become a more harmonious place......


This is an into to a new academic paper putting forth the theory Yahweh, the god or Allah of the muslims, was of volcanic origin....

Since time immemorial countless scholars have sought to discover the location of Mount Sinai and the origin of the deity Yahweh. One theory, the Midianite–Kenite hypothesis, places the early Yahwistic tradition and the sacred mountain associated with it in Midian on the eastern shores of Aqabah, far south of Canaan proper. This study combines the southern geographical placement of Yahweh's sacred mountain in Midian with biblical descriptions of the theophany at Sinai-Horeb—descriptions which have prompted scholars to interpret the events at the ‘mountain of God’ as volcanic in nature. Because the thesis of Yahweh as a volcano-god has virtually disappeared from the current scientific literature, it is worthwhile to present it once again. First revisiting the history of the ‘volcano hypothesis’ and prior scholarship, this study next advances an interdisciplinary approach and a new reformulation of the Midianite–Kenite hypothesis, combining geography, geology, and volcanology with the textual element that deals with ancient Midian and the Sinai-Horeb tradition. Finally, this study seeks to offer a scientific analysis of the texts, both poetic and narrative, which seem to indicate Sinai-Horeb was a volcanic mountain and pilgrimage site in northwest Saudi Arabia.

A God of Volcanoes: Did Yahwism Take Root in Volcanic Ashes? Jacob Dunn.


Before you read the following please watch this video.

'Together with the base of this mighty fissure, which runs precisely through this area, the Vale of Siddim, including Sodom and Gomorrah, plunged one day into the abyss. Their destruction came about through a great earthquake which was probably accompanied by explosions, lightning, issue of natural gas and general conflagration... The subsidence released volcanic forces that had been lying dormant deep down along the whole length of the fracture. In the upper valley of the Jordan near Bashan there are still towering craters of extinct volcanoes; great stretches of lava and deep layers of basalt have been deposited on the limestone surface.

These layers of lava and basalt are the most important evidence showing that a volcanic eruption and earthquake once took place there. In any event Lake Lut, otherwise known as the Dead Sea, lies directly above a seismically active region-in other words, an earthquake belt:

The base of the dead sea is located with a tectonic rooted downfall. This valley is located in a tension stretching between the Taberiye Lake in the north, and mid of Arabah Valley in the south.

The technical aspect of the disaster suffered by the people of Lut has been revealed in studies carried out by geologists. These have shown that the earthquake which wiped out the people of Lut came about as the result of a very long fault line. The Jordan River drops a total of 180 metres during its 190 km course. This, and the fact that the Dead Sea is 400 metres below sea level, combined to prove that that there once took place a major geological event in and around this area.

This interesting structure of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea comprise only part of the crack or fissure which passes through this region. It begins at the slopes of the Toros Mountains and runs southward past the southern shores of the Dead Sea, through the Arabian Desert, reaching the Gulf of Aqaba, from where it crosses the Red Sea before coming to an end in Africa. There is major volcanic activity in those areas through which the line passes. In fact, this occurs to such an extent that black basalt and lava can be found in the Mountains of Galilee in Israel, in part of the high plateaus in Jordan, the Gulf of Aqaba and other areas.

All these remains and geographical features show that there was a major geological event at the Dead Sea.'

Evidence of Rapid Continental Drift - SHOCK DYNAMICS

'In spite of what we have been told by the mass media and "science" publications, there is no strong evidence (much less proof) that the continents have been drifting apart for millions of years, and in fact, the evidence suggests that they split up quite rapidly.'

That is part of the conclusion of this article that challenges pre-conceived ideas on continental drift, which may in fact have been continental sprint.

Two convincing reason for the rapid plate movement theory are...

'Massive layers of sedimentary rock in many parts of the world have been severely distorted (i.e. bent out of shape), yet they display little, if any, cracking or breaking. ^5,6  In other words these rocks appear to have been bent before they had time to harden.'

and

'In many parts of the world tree stumps have been found imbedded in vertical position running through multiple layers of strata.  Such facts indicate that these trees were buried catastrophically (i.e. rapidly) before they had time to decay.'

And from this article......'To illustrate, if you hit a slab of ice hard enough with a big enough hammer, the ice shatters and the pieces slide away from the blow. --- * That is precisely what happened to Earth. --- * The meteorite impact was the hammer blow, and the continental crust was the slab of ice. --- * Estimated time from start to finish: --- Plate Tectonics - about 200 million years (and still ongoing) --- Shock Dynamics - about 26 hours (based on a shear wave propagation speed of 150 m/s) --- * a characteristic of the crust... Put simply, it temporarily acts like a fluid when enough stress is applied. --- * Well known on a small scale as a Bingham Fluid, Melosh suggests that fluidization at the base of large landslides reduces friction to near zero. He calls it acoustic fluidization.'

And from this article........'When God created the land and sea, the waters were "gathered together unto one place" (Genesis 1:9), which may imply one large ocean and one large land mass. The scripture which says "the earth was divided" in the days of Peleg (Genesis 10:25) is generally thought to refer to the Tower of Babel division (Genesis 11:1-9) and some suppose this included continental separation. To believe, however, that the continents moved thousands of miles during the Tower of Babel incident without causing another global flood requires a miracle. Similarly, it is doubtful whether the long day of Joshua can be explained naturalistically by plate tectonics.

If continental separation did occur, the only place within the Bible framework where it could fit would be during Noah's Flood. The cause of Noah's Flood is described in tectonic terms: "all the fountains of the great deep broken up" (Genesis 7:11). The Hebrew word for "broken up" is baga and is used in other Old Testament passages (Zechariah 14:4; Numbers 16:31) to refer to the geologic phenomena of faulting. The mechanism for retreat of the Flood waters is also associated with tectonics. Psalm 104:6,7 describes the abating of the waters which stood above the mountains; the eighth verse properly translated says, "The mountains rose up; the valleys sank down." It is interesting to note that the "mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4), the resting place of the Ark after the 150th day of the Flood, are in a tectonically active region at the junction of three lithospheric plates.

The article above concludes with the following....'The idea that sea-floor plates form slowly and continuously at a rate of a few centimeters each year as the ocean crust is being rift apart, is not supported by geologic data. The concept of destruction of sea-floor plates over millions of years by slow underthrusting below ocean trenches is also doubtful. Furthermore, the cause for the alleged gradual and uninterrupted motion of plates is an unsolved mystery. Despite these failures in the modern theory of "plate tectonics," the notion that the earth's surface has been deformed at the margins of moving plate-like slabs appears to be a valid one. The facts indicate that the separation of the continents, rifting of the ocean floor, and underthrusting of ocean trenches, were accomplished by rapid processes, not occurring today, initiated by a catastrophic mechanism. Noah's Flood, as described in the Bible, was certainly associated with tectonic processes and provides the time in the Biblical framework of earth history when continental separation may have occurred.'
