Ok... lets see.
because all the first part of your email
makes me "reasonably" think like you...
but then I read the end...
Quote:
"There is no reasonable or likely mechanism for a body to split and
produce products with radically different orbits."
How sure are you about this... ?
Especially the "reasonable and likely mechanism" part....
As I said before.
Anyway, sorry if I disturb the list but this doesn't sound like an evidence
to me

Skepticism does not require having significant doubt about things which
are well understood. The suggestion that has been offered is either the
product of extreme ignorance or of outright pseudoscience (well, the
question was a fair one, but the insistence upon sticking with the belief
in light of educated responses is highly unreasonable).
In this case, we have a situation where it is essentially physically
impossible for the two events to be connected. Even if the two bodies
involved were once part of the same one (which is extremely unlikely), it
would take a very long time for them to deviate so much in their orbits-
meaning that it would still be a coincidence that they arrived at the same
time.
There is no reasonable or likely mechanism for a body to split and produce
products with radically different orbits.

Hi Chris
I am a scientist myself, in agronomy.
And I have learned to be more and more skeptical
about the common/obvious knowledge over the years...
You might be right... but be careful about your
high level of "certainty"...
Said with all respect to you but also Bjorn
who seems to have a point, if you take into
account what he said about a split before...
Anyway
lets enjoy your different arguments
