I'm curious- have you actually read Earth in Upheaval? If so, what are your thoughts on the physical evidence that he presents in the book? (bones, etc.) I don't remember any bouncing planets in that book.

Earth in Upheaval was, as Velikovsky stated in the preface, a complilation of geophyscical data to substantiate the claims made in Worlds in Collision that his critics said were lacking. So Immanuel compiled a list of geophysical anomalies unexplained in 1948 and presumed they supported his mythology based fantasy previously published as Worlds in Collision.

The two books are complementary. Certainly I'm not going to forward an explanation of why a mamoth would die and freeze in the ice, rapidly enough to preserve it as edible, even though the animal had undigested grass in it's stomach. But it's certain the cause was neither Venus nor Mars bumping into the Earth's magnetosphere as proposed and altering the axis of rotation. And definitely not within human memory. Nope. Didn't happen. Sir Isaac Newton forbids it.
