My post 203 involved both albedo and the infrared flux meters which were carried to Venus' surface by probes, all measurements basically telling the same story as noted. Your claim, two or three posts later was to have destroyed that entire line of argument a year prior and anybody would interpret that as meaning the claims that albedo and ir flux measurements supported Velikovsky. Your claiming that you were arguing against anything else amounts to speaking in weasel language.

Let's just examine the logic you offer here. You refer to a rather fantastical narrative by Velikovsky in which Venus moves from outside earth's orbit to inside, causing all manner of destruction on earth. You have discarded a few Velikovskian points along the way: 1) Venus ejected from Jupiter, although you seem to have urged it in your T.O. days, and 2) insects came from to Earth from Venus.

You offer (continuously in your recurring spam message) rather indirect evidence: items which you feel will show that Venus is emitting primordial heat and thus is young. Thus, apparently, everything Velikovsky and you say is true, although you've already had to discard some amount of Velikovsky.

You're now saying that I can't claim to answer you unless I address those very albedo/IR flux data. That any claim to have answered you amounts to deliberate, shameful, blatant fraud.

Naah!

Your catastrophic version of events can't have happened. I answered you with links that address all your points and raise other issues, like Venus's thick crust. I never said I would bite on your micro-proof. That would amount to taking a distraction, lunging at the matador's cape.

Is Venus Young?
