Well, by popular request, here is the first of many posts on my hypothesis of human provenience. [Pardon the alliteration; I believe it may be genetic . . . or perhaps due to birth trauma; 45 years of scribbling poems on yellow legal pads doesn't help!] This should get rid of my readers (both of you). . . . I believe that the earth and its attendant universe was created recently, perhaps 20,000 years ago. This makes me a young-earth creationist. I differ from most other YEC's (that's pronounced yekk!), such as the doctors Morris, Ken Ham, etc. (for whom I have great respect), in that I do not follow Bishop Ussher's creation date of 4,004 B. C. I think a slightly longer span of time is required. To you firebreathing evolutionists, a difference of a few thousand years can hardly matter. About 12,000 years ago, God caused Planet Five (Phaeton), located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, to explode. The resultant planetary shrapnel wreaked havoc throughout the Solar System. Uranus was knocked on its side; Mars was hit so hard that half its crust and most of its atmosphere and water were blown away; Venus (quite possibly habitable) had its rotation reversed and was mostly resurfaced with lava; and Earth was swept by enormous waves, had its axis of rotation altered, and its geography greatly re-arranged. This event is remembered as the Deluge. Cultures around the world (400+) have stories about the ending of the previous age. The history of our planet can be divided into two periods: Protohistory (antediluvian) and history (postdiluvian). The term "prehistory" refers, in uniformatarian jargon, to the advent of writing. I believe writing has existed almost since the creation of man, so this term is useless. All geological ages, epochs, etc. are fictions of unformatarian science. Catastrophism, by its nature, is anathema to most geologists and biologists, indeed, to most scientists of any sort. More anon. Ex nihilo!

I never heard that bit before about Neptune's orbit. I think that that part seems a little unlikely because Uranus is 15 times more massive than earth, and very, very far away (19 times further from the sun than us). It is really statistically unlikely that a planet that is so big and so far away could have been hit hard enough to be rolled on it's side. The reason is that if one chunk of Phaeton randomly hit Uranus, it must have been either a really big coincidence, because of the distance, or just one of many very, very large pieces. Since Mars, Earth, and Venus are much closer, a great number of chunks the size of the one that hit Uranus would have had a pass at us or our neighbors. Such a collision would have erased any small planet. There would be more asteroid belts.
The only possibility I can figure out where one planet fragmenting and causing all of the things that you describe would not fit your timescale, I don't think. If a large rocky-metallic planet was deflected violently, then the body of the planet might have orbited outward, and the remaining fragments could have wrought all of your other destruction. But (without pretending like I can do the incredibly complex math) I'd say that to have a chance at actually colliding with Neptune, it would have needed very little deflection, so that its orbit only increased slightly with each pass around the sun. That would take a lot lot longer than 12,000 years (not to mention why it wouldn't hit Jupiter or Saturn first).
