It’s just uniformitarian gobbledygook. Nice ‘climate change’ angle in there too.

It’s always amusing to see, coming as I do from a long familiarity with uniformitarian objections to Velikovsky, that everything in their little outlook results just-so in stability, because any change at all in what is seen would have led inevitably to chaos.

I like their use of the phrase “acquired the Moon” — the Moon is clearly not the result of a large impact on the proto-Earth, but a later ‘foundling’, captured after a series of encounters made over some millions of years.

Nearly all experts today believe the Moon was the result of a very early collision between a Mars-sized planet and the Earth.

Yes, but the 'climate change' they're referring to of course would be a totally natural thing. Big difference from the man-made 'climate change' BS that the global governance crowd is trying to scare people with.
