At least Velikovsky had one inkling of a good notion, that of evolutionary
change coming from catastrophe.  If present theories are to be believed,
mammals never would have gained dominance over this planet, had it not been
for the catastrophe (comet collision, asteroid collision) some 65 million
years ago that all but wiped out the great reptiles.

As for the rest of his assertions, they are just too wild and
unsubstantiated for any serious scientist to believe.
