IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY - WORLDS IN COLLISION IN PDF

I have always admired this guy since I came across his works a decade ago.  I am a rabid catastrophist.  The Book of Mormon propounds the catastrophic doctrine - massive world change in a matter of minutes or hours.  Many of our hymns - the same thing.  Eliza R. Snow spoke much of massive world change when portions of the earth were cleaved off with portions of the world's inhabitants at the time.  She was given much of what she had directly from Joseph's mouth.  Stuff he dared not share with the general populace of the day.  Even members of the Church at the time would have called for his head for saying that stuff out loud - and this before the current science worship had become entrenched.  Science be damned - when the actual event occurs.  What so many smugly knew - will crumble before their eyes, though they refuse to see.  Such will become dust in the wind and their bones will bleach for 1,000 years.  A nice period of time to contemplate on their state of unbelief and wickedness while in the flesh.....

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":

And a reference to him in the LDS Institute manual.  Good stuff!:

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)."
