Yes, I’m aware that you’re claiming that he wrote that, and what I have been saying here all along is, show me where he said it. You have not done so, and I’m through wasting time trying to get something you are incapable of providing. The quote you gave above was not from Velikovsky, that should be obvious.

Problems of Continental Drift
The editors of the Review are often asked by readers about Velikovsky’s attitude to the theory of continental drift. In Earth in Upheaval (chapter viii: ‘The Sliding Continents’) Velikovsky was highly critical of the theory and seemed to reject it in favour of vertical motions of land masses and the apparent movement of continents due to shifts in the Earth’s axis. .....................When Earth in Upheaval was republished by Pocket Books in 1977, Velikovsky felt some extra comment on continental drift was necessary. He adopted a cautious neutral position and chose to reserve judgement on the theory. For the benefit of readers who do not have the Pocket Book edition we reprint here - by kind permission of Mrs. Elisheva Velikovsky - the Foreword and Author’s Note from this new edition. We have also included, as an informed view of the ‘state of play’ with regard to drift theory, an article by Dr. Peter Smith, one of Britain’s foremost geophysicists. - Peter J. James.
A New Introduction to Earth In Upheaval, by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky
.........I said that I would not revoke anything from the original edition. However, to one section I would like to make some pertinent remarks. By the 1950s, the hypothesis (1920) of A. Wegener about Drifting Continents gained in acceptance; ..............My position on continental drift was (and is) intermediary between those who reject this concept and those who support the idea ..............
‘Wegener’s Legacy’, by Peter J. Smith
........it was Wegener who first drew the global evidence (including Taylor’s) together at length, in his book Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane (1915); it was Wegener who was vilified by almost the entire geological community during the 1920s; it was Wegener whose influence was remembered when the tide began to turn in his favour, posthumously alas, during the 1950s;
