These muted witnesses to an age practically before Mankind.

He says these stumps are almost 4,000 years old.

Don't see too many journalists with a YEC viewpoint. Interesting.

he says a hell of a lot more than that:

doomed creatures; last, desperate escape; a dreadful fate beneath the rest of the world; reduced to twisted, tortured shapes that scream silently

...my goodness.

If this article had been written by Allen Ginsberg:

I saw the best trees of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at
dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded saplings burning for the ancient
heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the
machinery of night ...

The article can’t be correct. Now that global warming has raised sea levels, exposure wouldn’t be possible.

Actually, I think the line goes more like, "Global warming WILL raise sea levels unless we (you, not I) do something about it -- NOW!"

Thanks Red Badger
Roger Hart... says these stumps are almost 4,000 years old... "Curt Peterson and I published a radiocarbon on a sample taken from the Arch Cape stumps in 1998," Hart said. "The age is 3,660 with an error of 70. This means these trees died at that time, were buried in sand, and have been preserved under a cover of sand until now. From the photos it appears that the stumps are more extensively exposed now than in 1998."
So now they're 3,669 years old. [rimshot!] The RC age is *not* a reference to when the trees died, but rather to the age of the ring (or rings) which were tested. The catastrophe which buried all this stuff is less than that -- perchance 3,450 years? ;')

Yeah, that must have been the problem, although Noah lived a while before this. :’)

I have read a serious article that speculates that Noah’s Flood was due, in part, to to ancient Globull Warming.........

Heh... the bursting of ice dams holding back inland glacial meltwater lakes (at least two such events have been documented) could have raised world sealevel in fairly short order, since the thaw was going on all over the place simultaneously. (’:
