Here is a link to Velikovski's premiere work. When Einstein died, though found him slumped over his reading desk with a copy of this book open. It was "Einstein approved":

Interesting that he is referenced in the Old Testiment Institute manual. https://www.lds.org/manual/old-testamen ... n?lang=eng scrolling down to (2-3)
"Although the majority of geologists, astronomers, and other scientists believe that even this long period is not adequate to explain the physical evidence found in the earth, there are a small number of reputable scholars who disagree. These claim that the geologic clocks are misinterpreted and that tremendous catastrophes in the earth’s history speeded up the processes that normally may take thousands of years. They cite evidence supporting the idea that thirteen thousand years is not an unrealistic time period. Immanuel Velikovsky, for example, wrote three books amassing evidence that worldwide catastrophic upheavals have occurred in recent history, and he argued against uniformitarianism, the idea that the natural processes in evidence now have always prevailed at the same approximate rate of uniformity. These books are Worlds in Collision, Ages in Chaos, and Earth in Upheaval. Two Latter-day Saint scientists, Melvin A. Cook and M. Garfield Cook, have also advocated this theory in their book Science and Mormonism. A short summary of the Cooks’ approach can be found in Paul Cracroft’s article “How Old Is the Earth?” (Improvement Era, Oct. 1964, pp. 827–30, 852)."

Anyone interested in this should also check out Dr. Ronald Rollins. He has some really good info on carbon 14 dating too. He has a free audio recording on ldsconservative.com and at least one published book on this subject.
