Comments on: Heavy Elements in the Solar System http://acksblog.firmament-chaos.com/2010/01/12/heavy-elements-in-the-solar-system/ Ancient myths were actually observations of Mars, Venus and Mercury which repeatedly passed close to the Earth between 3700 and 700 BC.

All of the thinking has been done for you so you don’t have to ask any questions, even if some of the facts don’t quite fit the theories. The problem with the science of the Earth and the solar system is the ‘great assumption’ that everything was always the same as it is now. There is absolutely no scientific basis for this assumption. Everything that scientists believe, their interpretation of data from spacecraft, is based on that assumption. The first one hundred generations of mankind knew much more about the planets than scientists do today. The ancient writings, occupying an entire section of your library and bookstore, do constitute mountains of evidence, which I have explained in three books – some 800 pages and in my posts.
The problem with dilettantes like yourself is that you only want to delve a few kilobytes into any subject and go on to the next. That is the disease of social networking. I am surprised that you chose one of the most fundamental posts, the abundance of elements, to which you ‘attached’ your remarks. I guess you just got lucky on that one. Too bad you didn’t actually ask a scientific question related to the subject. If you had, you might actually have learned something today.
