I don't think so.
Anyone else wondering about the article's' mentioning the crater's diameter as both "30 miles" and "300 miles" -- in multiple paragraphs...?
Antarctica did not have year around ice untill it separated from Austrailia about 100mya.
That's nothing. The Clinton Catastrophe created a crater almost 3000 miles wide.

"Re-unite Gandwana Now!" My favorite bumper sticker.
Especially in San Francisco. Can we get a big rock to fall there?
Ya ruined it! I was gonna post the craterism stuff later in the thread.
Young Earth Theory "does not compute" -- not even for creationists (those who understand science, that is...)
It stands to reason that before any mass evolution spurt such as the Cambrian explosion there would have to be a mass extinction event such as a monster meteor impact to "clear the way" so to speak.
Do scientists have a theory on what spurred the Cambrian explostion?
And your (scientific) authority for that statement is...?
Velikovsky would've been pleased with this information.
Yet another reason why global warming isn't necessarily a bad thing. :-)
Well, whatever you do, don't summon the Shoggoth.
"The Shoggoth should be VERY powerful as thought-form entities go. It should also be (or rapidly become) fairly independent and capable of autonomous action. With continued existence and use the Shoggoth will seem to develop its own "personality" and can become troublesome. If the Shoggoth becomes rebellious it may be necessary for the magician to destroy the Shoggoth. A standard but thorough banishing and the destruction of the Sigil should suffice."
You H.P. Lovecraft fans are determined to ruin the Quaternary for the rest of us.
That would be a good idea, but you'll have to cut down a whole lot.:)
Thanks FT, one for the Digest. :')

Thanx for the big bang ping.
