About This Item
This book reopened the Velikovsky debate, it is a must read for anyone interested in how scientific debates of revolutionary concepts are actually conducted, how evidence is handled, and how ethics are trampled. With the publication of Worlds in Collision, Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's unconventional theories of the origin of the solar system have generated immense interest and bitter controversy. Chief among his critics was the well-known astronomer, author and television personality, Dr. Carl Sagan who debated Velikovsky in 1974.
Charles Ginenthal has gone into all aspects of this criticism and has exhaustingly outlined the evidence with data from the scientific literature. In this book the author debunks in lucid terms, point by point, each and every issue in sometimes humorous, often scathingly critical style.
