Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Velikovsky wasn't even original. At least half of his 'cosmology' was taken from the "Eternal Ice" or "Weltislehre" delusion of one Hans Horbiger. Which, by the way, became the "house cosmology" of the Nazis in Germany. (See "The Morning Of the Magicians" by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier).
ReplyDeleteLike Velikovsky, Horbiger was utterly incapable of telling the difference between a comet and a planet. (Hint, gents; one is a comparatively small dirty snowball, the other is a very large ball of rock with a molten core.)
One more example of why mystics make very poor scientists.
