Sure. Velikovsky is hilarious. Spent a lot of time in that book railing against the then new theory of Continental Drift. It's no longer a theory, of course, but established empirically observed fact.

I found his tales of bouncing planets fascinating and amusing. It's totally against the laws of celestial mechanics, but a good fantasy writer never lets reality intrude on his creation.

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.
