Well, sports fans, what Ted Holden has provided us with so far are
some simple explanations for two archeological puzzles: (1) really
large dinosaurs, and (2) mass extinctions of large mammals.  And
it's true, these are puzzling to modern evolutionary theory.

But what we have to ask Ted (and so I do herewith) is, does
Velikovsky's explanation hold together?  If Velikovsky's explanation
of planetary billiards really happened, show me, Ted, how those
collisions preserved angular momentum.  Show me how the 
"Age of Cronos" lessened gravity yet didn't tear the earth apart.
Let's see some more of that calculator magic.  Show how Velikovsky's
hypothesis, which does explain those two puzzles, is still consistent
with celestial mechanics.  Go ahead--make my day.

Ted, if you tell me that the laws of physics didn't apply back then,
then what's with all the muscle/weight/strength calculations?  Throw
out physics and even a 300 lb. rock can fly.
