MacMillian scientific books were threatened to be blacklisted if Velikovsky's books were published. So Putnam gave it up. Scientific predictions are not wanted from ancient text analysis and sighted deduction. Illuminati science is ordered from above and not deducted by the individual. Gee, almost like observations in a scientific method but who cares. Too close the the FBI banned science of Tesla was Velikovsky's electric universe and now of Eric Lerner promoted by Bill Lyne.

You are 100% correct, not to mention all the publishing houses that rule the academic world, hence the attack on the man. What is interesting, he has never been proven wrong, and in many instances he has been proven correct. Dogma is what most science should be called. I have read 4 of Velikovsky's books and they are brilliant.

Thought provoking and inspiring. Thank you

my freind i dont know if you know but the Gravity model is not proven out by observation....that is why we have to keep on creating new explantions like Dark matter and Dark energy to componsate for the lack of evidence of mass in regards to the big bang /gravity model......The Electric/Plasma model has born the corect fruits of explanation for over 1oo years now..without the need to Hypothosise new "stuff" just to keep a idea alive.

Darwin was aware of much information supportive of catastrophic events, but chose to ignore it for the most part. He even mentioned some of it in The Origin of The Species, like a criminal leaving clues behind him.It's funny how people can hold contradictory ideas in mind, and carry on regardless!"Men occasionally stumble over the truth," as Churchil said, "but most of them pick themselves up and carry on as if nothing ever happened."

"Darwin did not base his theories on this list."Have you read the origin of species?"Velikovsky's theories and predictions have been and will be quantified."Already now we have empirical evidence which exactly contradicts the 'theories' made by Velikovsky. We can blow them out of the water. Also already established fundamental laws are violated by his theories & his methodology was flawed beyond reason.We are to overtrow everything that works because of some mythology+speculation?

anyhoo I kind of agree with the sentiments of the video and think that the treatment of velikovky shows how paradigm of science reeks of fundamentalism, self interest and self perpetuation. I consider this to be the death of human intelligence and death of the quest for truth.

Darwin did not base his theories on this list... these are things that have been shown to support Darwinism over time, just like Velikovsky's theories and predictions have been and will be quantified. In fact Darwin was inspired by watching ants... sure beats Mythology.

"Oh you mean like Darwin!?..."Last time I checkedthe geological column, geology, the fossil record, Atavisms, ERVs, Embryology, paleontology, comparative genetics, transmission and population genetics, comparative anatomy, comparative zoology...etc were all froms of physical evidence.But if you think mythology is a more valuable scoure for evidence be my guest. Just don't expect the courts to apply your ridicously low standards of proof.

"Yes lets forget that his speculations are not supported by physical evidence."Oh you mean like Darwin!?... |
