Worlds in Confusion?
Velikovsky's 'theory' is another example of a chain of reasoning, cobbled together to reach a foregone conclusion, and in Velikovsky's case, EVERY link in his chain of reasoning has been broken, and not just broken, but totally destroyed.
I realize the appeal to christers of this particular form of reasoning, but when addressing anyone with a molecule of science knowledge, just the mention of Velikovsky will get the entire case attempting to be made put in the ultra woo-woo file.
Of all his mistakes, perhaps the most significant to those folks in the christer orbit is he asserts the Exodus occurred almost 1000 years from when it had to occur, if it did.
Venus cartwheeling around the solar system might do some wacky shit (if it was remotely possible, and it ain't), but desynchronizing time on earth by a millenium is so wacky I might wonder why the christers aren't laughing at Velikovsky too.
Even as DESPERATE of a situation from the apologist viewpoint as it is, I suppose even total horseshit might be put forth to shore up an already decrepit song and dance number to 'prove' scripture.
