Also perhaps Immanuel Velikovsky - Ages in Chaos + Worlds in Collision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Velikovsky was one of the geniuses of the 20th century...CANCELED of course by consensus science (led by "atheist" Sagan).
Not the same genre, but mention of Velikovsky usually brings to my mind Halton Arp, another highly credentialed scientist (radio astronomer) who call BS on the whole "science" of cosmology for their historic misinterpretation of red shift data.
Finally, anyone interested in Velikovsky MUST check out David Talbott (cf. Saturn Theory).
