Yeah, math equations, physics problems and orbital mechanics are so
sneaky and devious. Imagine, using reliable, proven scientific methods to
attack Velikovsky!
Grow up, people. Santa Claus does not exist, the Flat Earth Society
doesn't have anything to stand on (except, perhaps, a round planet) and
Velikovsky is not a scientist. Just because you want to believe something
doesn't make it right. This is the twentieth century, not the dark ages.
