"Only by carefully collating myths and symbols with our own ones can we start to understand the hidden meaning and the hidden message contained in myths. Accept the hypothesis of Atlantis as a working hypothesis and see for yourself that it works far better in clarifying Man’s obscure past than the present theories of academics. Observe how the hypothesis of Atlantis agrees with the doctrines of all religions once they are rid of their most asphyxiating dogmas and preconceptions and their fairy-tale assumptions of never-neverlands in heaven or under the ground."

Prof. Arysio N. dos Santos

"There is no place for dogma in Science. The scientist is free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek any evidence, to correct any error. Where Science has been used in the past to erect a new dogmatism, that dogmatism has found itself in-compatible with the progress of science; and in the end, the dogma has yielded, or Science and Freedom have perished together."

J. Robert Oppenheimer

"How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow has she become, she who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave."

Lamentations of Jeremiah 1:1

"The capacity for self-delusion, even among scientists, should never be underestimated: conviction can have profound effects on observation. "

L. Wolpert, The Unnatural Nature of Science

"Here, the story of the Mexicans. And there, their dwelling; The place named Aztlán Whence their name of Aztecs. Their dwelling they also called By a second name: Chicomoztoc."

F. A. Tezozomoc, Crónica Mexicayotl (1521)

Theology as a whole must examine early opinions and myths, since the ancients expressed enigmatically the physical notions which they entertained concerning the facts, and always added the mythical element to their accounts. Now it is not easy to solve with accuracy all the enigmas, but if the multitude of myths be set before us, some agreeing and others contradicting one another, one might be able more readily to conjecture out of them what the truth is.

Strabo, Geography, 10:3:1

"The majority of persons say that the Earth is at the center of the Universe… But the Italian philosophers known as Pythagoreans affirm the contrary. At the center, they say, is the Fire. The Earth is one with the other planets, and night and day are produced by its circular motion around this center. Moreover, they also propose another land opposite to ours, which they name Antichthon…"

Aristotle, De Caelo, B13:293-18
