Noah's Ark

No need to be a orator to be a lawyer , `rach, just so long as you are devious.

Still wondering what the predators did when they ambled off the Ark-----

Peace, bro.We care about what other people teach their children because OUR children`s future will be affected by their children. If you get my drift-----

well, quite a few have made the transition so it`s not an impossible journey. Maybe, believers, having had their faith shaken in one belief system, try to fault science/atheism because they are scared of trusting another? Just my thoughts.

Got yourself another live one,Yaro. Rots of ruck.:-p

The scenario gets wilder the longer you stay with Yecism. Massive quantities of boiling water released from the 'deeps', cooking everything. Wild storms on the surface as a barge tries to stay upright. Huge icebergs liberated and sailing round the globe. Thousands of feet of sediment being deposited in orderly fashion with the heaviest elements on top. Massive quantities of water disappearing to where? Then continents shuttling around like speedboats, carrying short lists of life peculiar to each continent. Finally comes the rain of meteor impacts, not just singles, but swarms, leaving huge craters and throwing immense amounts of dust and vaporized rock high into the atmosphere and bringing on repeated nuclear winters. Mankind must have slept through this as no record survives except a censored version in the Bible.

Oops, sorry, Mangy.

If your point is that fossils in Australia aren`t 'fossilised', it`s contradicted by the caption on the piccy. AFAIK, all prehistoric specimens found here have been mineralised. Another point is that these finds are unique to Australia. Do you know of any giant hairy-nosed wombats being found elsewhere in the world?

Does this mean we can expect no Biblical transitional fossils? If fossilisation is rare, why keep hammering evos for lack of transitionals?

I`ve never thought much of the proposal that man and beast walked across the Bering Strait land bridge. My reasoning goes like this: If the Ice Age reduced the levels of the oceans so much that the bridge was exposed, then the ice was so extensive and thick that nothing in the way of food was available on the surface. While hunters might have carried a picnic lunch to sustain them on the journey of thousands of miles, other critters would starve to death long before they traversed the icefields. Any flaws in my reasoning?

Thanks for your input,Ned. Some websites on the Bridge state that the freeze put ice up to two miles thick over North America, which kind of knocks the thought of an ice-free corridor. The Polar Ice-cap is shown as spreading acoss northern Canada, but not across the land bridge. One site offers an explanation that animals browsed on the bridge before pressing onwards. Don`t you think, any extreme local conditions aside, that the bridge might have been frozen to a depth as well? Any ideas on what might create an ice-free corridor? Maybe we are looking for signs of the Exodus in the wrong place.:-p

A lot of that going on around here, Brad.

I see the thinking on Kennewick Man is changing from Caucasoid to Asian http://www.washington.edu/...emuseum/kman/ancientpeoples.htm
