"So, you care to illuminate us about why a man who nails catastrophism as a prime vehicle of environmental change decades before his (ahem) peers is, in your opinion, a kook and a fool?"
Because he based his *theories* on no empirical evidence. He pulled them from his butt, essentially. And his theories were wrong. This article in no validates anything Velikovsky said. The devil's in the details, and the details of Velikovsky's claims were mind-numbingly silly.
