The devil you say?

I guess arguments could be made either way. My impression is that earthquakes in a biblical context are often tied to divine displeasure. Yet the creation was permitted to become subject to death and decay on account of the presence of sin in it, and the element of decay that is known to science as the second law of thermodynamics is so universally pervasive that one wonders how many devils it would need to keep it up. Metaphysically mind boggling. But it’s heartening to know there are twice as many obedient angels as devils.

I’m sure the devil loves the suffering, death, and chaos, but God uses even these things to many good ends.

Getting back to Earth so to speak, this axis shift must now be even more so pronounced, and its that angle that gives us our seasons.

Now comes the time to analyze just what that means, from my perspective in Alaska our weather has taken a different course, and arguably the lower 48 has seen its share of different weather.

What if we see yet more events that further shift the Earths axis? I doubt they will send it back to normal, perhaps the arctic will become more temperate?

I for one want to know exactly where the North Pole is, and where the magnetic pole is, and how far off they are.

At equilibrium, the entire surface of the earth would be covered in ocean. Earthquakes are the price we pay for dry land.
