I don't think it's quite THAT simple.

Velikovsky claimed that there were major orbital changes and perturbations in the planets within HISTORICAL times. That caused most scientists to regard him as a crackpot. Had he claimed that these sorts of movements occurred in the early solar system, I very much doubt he would have had the same reaction. I think (at that time, 1950s, 1960s) at worst he would have been regarded as a protagonist of an unlikely scientific theory.

Are you supporting Velikovsky's claim of major orbital perturbations in historical times? If so, evidence?
