Well give me the author and I'll be happy to refer to him whenever this comes up again. Wasn't Velikovsky, was it? I quote him like crazy. I guess since someone in antiquity noticed the Earth goes around the Sun, we should all be giving this guy credit anytime the weather man mentions the Sun rising, right? "And now, the morning weather report. The Sun rose again, in accordance with a theory first promulgated by ... " And since Columbus thought he discovered America, all the travel agencies should be giving mention of Columbus anytime they mention the Amercias, right? "I could book you on a plane for New York Thursday, on flight .. oh, by the way, we know about America as it was a theory of Columbus which proved true .. lets see, flight number, um, where was I .." Its a rather obvious conclusion, based on rather obvious facts.
