Planetary science was born as an opposition to Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision, a number one best-seller in 1950 based on ancient texts from cultures around the world. Based on ancient texts of a number of cultures, Velikovsky claimed that Venus was born out of Jupiter and would therefore be hot and Jupiter would be radiating electromagnetic radiation. When the first observations of these planets proved this claim true, a prominent Astronomer Harold Shapely assigned a young PhD Carl Sagan to oppose Velikovsky arguing that Venus is hot because of a runaway greenhouse effect and Jupiter is a gas planet, in public debates. Due to support from the astronomical community, Sagan's simplistic claims were adopted as the standard model which advocates that the solar system has been in its current state for billions of years despite the great differences in the planets. However, this model remains unproven to this day despite many probes sent to these planets. The enormous ages of the planets suggested by this model support the notion that all life including mankind evolved from lower forms over millions of years.
