I like the Thunderbolts thinkers because the aether makes a helluva lot more sense than the atom theory. I also like @Akanah's biology-earth-embryo idea because it fits into the digital Gaia program -- knowledge which gnostics accessed in the Akasha. This process is achieved when the practitioner's pineal gland reaches through the aether to touch the dome.
As for Velikovsky, I appreciate his research into Coherent Catastrophism via comets.

His books use comparative mythology and ancient literary sources (including the Old Testament) to argue that Earth suffered catastrophic close contacts with other planets (principally Venus and Mars) in ancient history. In positioning Velikovsky among catastrophists including Hans Bellamy, Ignatius Donnelly, and Johann Gottlieb Radlof [de],[3] the British astronomers Victor Clube and Bill Napier noted "... Velikovsky is not so much the first of the new catastrophists ...; he is the last in a line of traditional catastrophists going back to mediaeval times and probably earlier."[4] Velikovsky argued that electromagnetic effects play an important role in celestial mechanics. He also proposed a revised chronology for ancient Egypt, Greece, Israel, and other cultures of the ancient Near East. The revised chronology aimed at explaining the so-called "dark age" of the eastern Mediterranean (c. 1100–750 BC) and reconciling biblical history with mainstream archaeology and Egyptian chronology.
