There is actually no logic nor justification nor intelligible commentary, I can see in their entire post. The heading is presumed to be the dialogue I guess: "Scientists Prove Velikovsky Correct Again".
Its just a collection of quotes by Velikovsky, Alven, Homer, Euripides, some dudes from the 8th century BC called Sanjaya & Mahabharata, and what the heck … even Shakespeare gets thrown in for good measure !
A connect-the-dots one … more rumour creation !

... Immanuel Velikovsky wrote a series of books decades ago saying that the events in the Bible were literally true, and caused by various astronomical things like planets careening around the solar system like billiard balls, interacting in impossible ways, and doing many impossible things." -- Phil Plait, pseudoscientist, January 8th 2010

Well, I mean …thats a glowing reference, right there !! I read that in a comic book once, too !
Absolute rubbish !
Cheers
PS: I had more fun and intellectual challenge in our General Chat Forum => "Your showing your age when" thread, this morning !
PPS: The reference I meant was the text from Velikovsky .. I wasn't having a go at Phil Plait.
