I think you are correct. and of course a comet can always be steered off its path ever so slighly.
Thanks. I'm familiar with his work.
Guess again.
well the basic problem was that everything that was created was good and how could such a comet be good...but I forgot it is also good to punish evil
As for being unfair, well I for one am not going to arrogantly try to rationalize God's fairness, seeing that He is infinitely perfect and I am a finite created being.
Oh I see your point- that the comet had been set in motion many years before.
Okay, if we believe in miracles, (which I do) He could have diverted the comet had they repented at Noah’s proclamation of righteousness.
I believe we usually choose the harvest we reap.
Who’s guessing?
lol I prefer a very small charge at the Chevron station thank you very much...
Hold onto you hats . . . It's happening again. Beginning in 2008. Click here if you desire to learn more . . . Scroll down. Look for 'something wicked comes this way.' We are all in God's hands. Even though most do not want to admit that the scientific evidence is real. Just like Algore wanting to make a killing on global warming scams.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody ! . . . Gobble, Gobble.
The old earth folks would say that that is because the surface of the east is geologically older than the west - i.e., the Appalachian are older than the Rockies, with the Canadian shield even older. In Europe, the Alps would be younger, with the Jura older, so you'd be more likely to find impact sites the further you moved north.
Son of Velikovsky.
You did better on post 25.
A new blog topic? I guess the real estate bubble really has officially gone bust, lol.
bookmark for later.
Of course no one should believe an explanation until there is very clear evidence to support it, and even then, the explanation is subject to constant revision as the quality and quantity of information improves.
But where do self-appointed policemen like this jerk Jay Melosh come from? Someone else has put forward an hypothesis that is as yet unproven. So, somehow this Jay Melosh is supposed to be famous because he "debunked" it, but asking the obvious, "where is your evidence"
I have a suggestion for Dr. Melosh. It is an interesting and creative hypothesis. Instead of sitting on his vestigial tail carping at the ideas of others why doesn't he find something useful to do, like see if there is evidence for or against it, or go and find his own problem to work on.
The hypothesis will likely turn out to be wrong, likely on the grounds that most scientific hypotheses turn out to be wrong. But, in the process of collecting evidence you learn a lot of facts and might in addition to finding that this was wrong, find something else that was right, none of which will happen if you sit on your tenured chair and preen your tenured tail feathers.
Of course it is unproven, but I think rather less than more of this Dr Melosh for pointing out the obvious.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread.
List of Ping Lists
wow, that’s a great video- haunting.
Carl Sagan, the great wise sage and predictor of Global Cooling, didn't believe in Velikovsky.
“Just a minor point, the Bible says the water didn’t subside for 150 days.”
I wouldn’t consider this being a minor point. What it shows me if they can’t read what is clear how can one accept what they’re saying on something that is not clear?
Interesting take on whether or not a comet could have caused the flood.
