It's total bunk.
"Most scientists and historians did not take the ideas seriously, claiming that the book's conclusions were based on faulty, pseudoscientific evidence, some of which were later demonstrated to be fraudulent and/or fabricated, and often illogical premises. For example, Ronald Story wrote a book rebutting Däniken's ideas in 1976 titled The Space Gods Revealed."

It's a stupid book full of fraudelant pictures and statements. I had seen the movie version in college. It seemed compelling at the time, but then on PBS some months later, they had a documentary exposing the fraudulance in the book. One of the particulars I remember is where he showed an "aerial view" of what may have been an ancient runway. The problem is it was actually the picture of something only several feet long - not much of an aerial view! Through he book away.

I never heard of the book, but I know of some good books about the Bible vs Darwinism: "Creation As Science" by Dr. Hugh Ross, and "The Creator And The Cosmos" by Dr. Hugh Ross. Both books can be found at www.reasons.org

It is interesting, but total bunk. VonDanakin thinks that all religions are the result of alien intervention. He makes an interesting historical case, but it is mostly making huge leaps that don't have any real basis.
It is worth reading however. It makes you think.

I read alot of it It was popular decades ago.
I dont agree with it. The theory of the ice age is better explained by a cooling planet after Noah's flood which warm oceans and not yet frozen artic oceans
evolution...well I definitely dont agree with
