Here is something interesting....
Velikovsky was theorizing on these things and corresponding with the top minds of the world.
1. New water can come from space.
2. Oil keeps getting produced on earth (don't tell the Bush family). It gets worse: nuclear power plants occur naturally on earth.
3. The moon came from the earth, see above.
He work was bestseller stuff when it first came out. I have his complete oeurve, naturally, because it is suppressed through ridicule. His tactic was to read the bible and try to line up events it describes with the records of other civilizations. It was quite amazing work. The problem was the Bible began to line up with other records, especially the terrestrial and planetary history... ooops. You must not contradict the academy. Also, Velikovsky was a psychiatrist who criticized Freud when that just was not done. So to prove your bona fides, you must criticize Velikovsky, here is how Sagan handled it.
Note, there is no argument, just mocking. Velikovsky's ideas are wrong, silly etc, we are assured, but that is not the point... "no place for suppression in science." He says, suppressing the ideas.
People out there read Velikovsky's antithesis with the common education thesis hard-wired in their minds, and come up with a syntheses. Who knows what one will do with the new esoteric info. Velikovsky surmised insects came form outer space, say a spider, from Mars. Rode in on comets big enough to hold their eggs safe while the "vehicle" withstands the heat. Humans come in from space that way. Why not? Velikovsky thought this up before humans went into space and he was mocked. Others turned the ideas into cash.
Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
When the ancient planet, Theia, smashed into Earth, it blasted debris into space. The moon formed out of that debris. Planetary scientists first came up with this theory in the wake of the July 20, 1969, Apollo moon landing, offering an explanation for why our world has such a massive moon. (See: "It All Began in Chaos.")But the idea goes back farther than that...
