Surtsey still surprises
by David Catchpoole
After the island of Surtsey was born of a huge undersea volcanic eruption off Iceland in 1963,1 geologists were astonished at what they found.
As one wrote: ‘On Surtsey, only a few months sufficed for a landscape to be created which was so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief.’2
There were wide sandy beaches, gravel banks, impressive cliffs, soft undulating land, faultscarps, gullies and channels and ‘boulders worn by the surf (see picture left), some of which were almost round, on an abrasion platform cut into the cliff.’2 And all of this despite the ‘extreme youth’3 of the island!
The geologists’ surprise is understandable, given the modern thinking that young Surtsey’s ‘varied and mature’ features ought to have needed long periods of time—millions of years—to form....

“"Apology" accepted.”It wasn't an apology, it was just a word of advice.
“That forum was originally comprised 100% of Freepers. Freepers who were here for many, many years.” [excerpt]Was being the operative word...
“PPS. We did. Quite honestly. But you weren't around for that, so your ignorance on this matter can be forgiven.” [excerpt]Yes, they did, which is why they aren't FReepers anymore.
I've been a freeper for nearly ten years longer than you have.
In my case I think having an MA in special ed makes me better able to keep my temper on these threads.
“I've been a freeper for nearly ten years longer than you have.”You are also a moderator at DC where the vast majority of the foul mouthed ex-FReeper posters are ridiculously obsessed with FR.
You are what you read into stuff. I would say pity is more accurate than hatred. Personally, I do this for entertainment and self-education.
Isn’t it amazing how DU/DC trolls come here and try to troll their Satanic garbage? When are they going to learn that their “science” isn’t welcome on a conservative website? I’ll give them one thing, they are persistent. Like an infection. What’s needed is a good antibiotic.
LOL! - You made no points at any time. You pretend to be a 'believer,' but the gist of all your posts is how much you disbelieve God's word. It has to be allegory, or your world collapses.
Sorry, but when the Bible offers allegory, it is announced in the prior text. When something is affirmed in numerous places throughout the Bible, as the Genesis creation account is, you would do well to accept it.
I will pray for you.
Since you are neither normal nor Christian my comeuppance will have to await a future date,and someone with a bit more intellect. And no, anti-biotics have nothing to do with the Satanic lie that is evolution.
Go back to DU/DC to spread your filth.
Rolf, I never refuse anyone’s offer of prayers, but I do suspect that your offer has a certain pharisaical tone to it.
“You are what you read into stuff.” [excerpt]Well, I dunno about that.
“Hey FreeRepu####, might want to think about that. ” --whattajoke
“All I can think is I was set afire as an example to the rest of the DC crowd. ##### them. I still view my account and receive my pings ... I just don't have the ability to say anything to the clumsy ham fisted idiots posting on a great number of those threads” --satchmodog

“If a creatinoid challenged me to a formal debate, I would accept the challenge and choose to defend ID.” --js1138
“Davey leave Free Republic? He'd have to give up his title of King #### of #### Mountain.” --Gator Country
“The new poster is obviously a retread cretard who we've dealt with before.” --Carolina_Guitarman
“I have a stealth account over at TOS. I'll bump js1138's thread until I get banned again, if need be.” --annyokie“I'd just as soon keep it under wraps until the regular debate moves or fizzles.
If Dave tries to say the main debate thread has been hopelessly corrupted, we can start bumping the clean one.” --js1138
“the cretards are going to be pooping themselves over this ...” --satchmodog
“What a horrible beast that woman is. She drove me off of FR by swarming her fundy horde to every post I made about evolution, genetics, or the Shroud of Turin being a fraud.” --Soliton
“narby is my name, dammit. If they don't want me, F' em.” --narby
“Oh yea. It felt GOOD. ” --radioastronomer“Cowards way out. JR is truly a ####head. And I would say how I really feel, but I don't want to risk being banned from this board for bad language.” --radioastronomer“i guess you shouldn't have hit the abuse button on Rim Job, Twice ” --satchmodog
“Maybe the cure is a bit of trolling at places like FR to help push them over the edge of reality, and thus eliminate their credibility.” --narby
“every day another freeper lemming dives off that cliff” --satchmodog
“Considering that Bush is a big government leftist commie simp, it's not surprising he's also an athiest Darwinoid.” --js1138
“I got suspended from Free Republic for Christmas” --Soliton“Good job calling out those vile bitches over there. I would have been a bit more nasty.” --Dr. Lao
Wonderful people, just brimming with virtue!
Just what I was talking about. They are trolls trying to subvert the way of life we hold dear. That’s the way your hardcore commie works.
You seem obsessed with DC. Even I haven’t read all those posts. But since you read DC so obsessively, you know I don’t go there to talk behind people’s backs. If I post anything at DC about what’s going on at FR, I have posted the equivalent here.
I indeed have some low opinions of several people here, but I say everything I have to say right here.
Reference for what? That the geology of Surtsey is different than that of Alberta? You need a reference for that? Go back and reread my post; you missed the point.
