This is a presentation by Kenneth J. Dillon at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Petaluma, California, on November 30, 2016. See also the video at https://vimeo.com/196130652.
Worlds in Collision (1950) and Earth in Upheaval (1955) set forth the evidence and arguments for Immanuel Velikovsky’s pioneering, controversial theory that Venus emerged from Jupiter as a comet and repeatedly approached Earth, causing the Bronze Age catastrophes. Kenneth J. Dillon and Stephen J. Dillon discuss these books and the Scientific Rejectionism that stigmatized Velikovsky, thwarting a full, balanced assessment of his theories ever since.
