The basic problems of evolutionism include a short list of things sufficient to demolish any normal theory, i.e. any theory which was not being held for irrational reasons.

Just had to grab this quote because,

The basic problems of Saturnism include a short list of things sufficient to demolish any normal theory, i.e. any theory which was not being held for irrational reasons. Such things include the current, nearly circular orbits of the planets, the improbability of rocky planetary formation in any system where a gas giant is as close to the Sun as the proposed proto-Saturn, the fact that the proposed proto-Saturn would exist outside the habitable zone of the Sun and would be (and still is) a major radiation source, thus rendering a nascent Earth an irradiated snowball.

Ted, your pet theory has far more holes in it than anything coming out of the halls of academe.

One huge difference which you neglect to mention: Nobody is jumping up and down demanding that Saturnism be taught as a fact in public schools at public expense. Like, we know the difference between theories and demonstrable facts. Duh...

nearly circular orbits of the planets,

Where did you go to school? The orbits of the planets are wildly elliptical. Some of the planets that we think of as nearer to the sun are at times further out than those we consider farther from the sun. You clearly do not know beans about astronomy.
