Revelations 17:5 – and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
This symbolic figure, probably a reference to the Roman Empire, is now commonly depicted as Wonder Woman riding a dinosaur. Which allows it to server double duty as evidence against evolution.
Aleister Crowley felt Babalon was a name for a god-like entity, far beyond summoning, and he considered L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons idiots for even attempting to do so (specifically, he referred to “the idiocy of these louts”).
But some researchers such as Jacques Vallee suggest that such entities have already been in contact throughout human history.
