The myths are not easy to decipher on a casual first reading, and it is not clear who was Venus' rightful father. However, Immanuel Velikovsky didn't let the obscurity of these old stories stop him from coming to some rather controversial conclusions about their meaning. In his book, Worlds in Collision, he suggests that the ancient myths are in fact stories of real planetary events observed by humans.
According to Velikovsky, Jupiter ejected Venus into our solar system some time around 1500 BC. This event led in turn to several close encounters between our planets before everything finally settled down.

| Jupiter ejecting Venus |
This idea has been taken seriously by Electric Universe enthusiasts who see a whole range of anecdotal evidence in support of the theory. One being the fact that ancient myths all over the world have described Venus as either being a man with a long beard or a woman with long flowing hair, indicating that planet Venus must have had a comet-like tail.
Venus is also a hot planet, as if just out of the oven, so to speak. Venus rotates very slowly, and in the opposite direction of all the other planets of our solar system, indicating that she has still not settled properly into her place.
Lately, there has emerged evidence to suggest that Venus' rotation is slowing down, and many Electric Universe enthusiasts would not be surprised if Venus was to completely stop rotating one day, only to start rotating the other way. Venus will one day fall completely into line with every other planet, and rotate the same way, and at a rate that is appropriate for her size and position in the solar system.
The evidence in support of this theory are compelling. I like the theory. The idea is that large bodies such as stars and gas giants become electrically stressed from time to time. To relieve this stress, they eject matter in the form of planets and moons.
Normally, stars eject planets, and planets eject moons. However, if the stress is particularly strong, a large planet may eject an object so large that it escapes its gravitational grasp, gets captured by the nearby star, and end up as a planet. This is what Velikovsky in essence suggested in his book.
Valles Marineris on Mars and the Grand Canyon on Earth may well have been carved up electrically by Venus in a close encounter shortly after her birth. The story fits well with the general idea of an electric universe.

Also, if planets and moons are born out of storms on planets and stars, chances are that they are born hollow, because storms are hollow. There's an eye in the middle of all storms, which would fit well with the expanding Earth theory.
Donald Scott's supernova mechanism, in which planets might be formed together with the star at the center of the z-pinch, is another possibility, which does not exclude the birthing theory described for Venus.
Donald Scott's idea allows for very cold matter to be pulled together so quickly that planets would form with a cold centre, and an outer crust hardened to granite. The gases trapped inside the planets would then provide internal pressure for future expansion as they gradually thaw.
Adding to this that gravity and inertia might increase over time through a mechanism of mass condensation, as suggested by Halton Arp in his work on what he calls intrinsic red-shift, there emerges another possibility for the expanding Earth theory to merge with Velikovsky theory.
If Earth, like Venus, and every other planet and moon, have been born from either the Sun or nearby planets, then the size of their initial hollow would in part be determined by the strength of gravity at the time of creation. As gravity and inertia increase over time, pressure builds up inside every planet, moon and star.
Furthermore, mass condensation will make matter more radioactive. Large nuclei will fall apart as protons and neutrons increase in mass. Matter that was once neutral, becomes radioactive. This means that where there was one large atom, there might be two smaller atoms at a later time. The volume of matter increases over time. Planets and moons will therefore have a natural tendency to expand due to gravitational pressure and nuclear fission. At some point, every single planet and moon will start to expand. When this happens depends on the exact composition of the object, and its age.
It appears then that there is no conflict between the expanding Earth theory and Velikovsky's theory that Venus is Jupiter's daughter.
