Are They Really Self-Deluded?

There are certainly dumber stuff out there, more magical, more far off stuff. But this is pretty bad. You know where this comes from? This all derives ultimately from Velikovsky. Remember that guy? That was the guy who said that Venus was spat out by Jupiter and fell into its current orbit. He was in Waitric Universe. So yeah, so it goes back to him and there's definitely some cult-like religious belief type stuff within Electric Universe. They believe in space lightning. We've never seen space lightning or the evidence of it or any whatever. It's they're just making stuff up a whole cloth there.
