Dire straits ping.
I knew it. We’re doomed. And my mortgage is just about paid off.
Just damn...
Just damn...
Well, you can do it blam's way and go out with a bang or my way and be eaten by a giant shark.
"There were periods of the planet's history when vast areas of the continents were flooded by shallow seas, such as the shark- and mosasaur-infested seaway that neatly split North America during the age of the dinosaurs."
The sharks should be returning to Iowa about now.
Well, we’ve scheduled our vacation to Redneck Riviera for mid-October. We’re going, sharks, hurricanes or whatever. I gotsta have my yearly trip to Captain Anderson’s.
I cant help but to smell a rat here. This study could become another variation of the Global Warming Hoax. Man, am I becoming cynical
No, Hillery is out of the running for now.
Say, I want some of these for my back yard pond.
"Mom, can we go feed Mr. Tet's Moasaurs? NO, NO, don't you remember what happened to little jimmy? Please mom we'll be careful..."
If post #7 doesn’t scare you off then enjoy the meal. :-)
Life these days doesn’t seem so bad when you contemplate that age.
Considering that man is only occasionally not at the top of the food chain today, when he would definitely have been on the menue then.
And, no Huggies.
And you'd need them if confronted by those creatures. :-)
I can't believe all those sedimentary strata and twisted geological features resulted from the earth's environment always being calm and serene, and that the geological layers gently built up over the millions of years and that the mountains of today resulted only from plate tectonics.
The theory of Catastrophism was in vogue until Darwin came out with his Theory. In order for it to work, the earth couldn't have been trashed by outside events. My bet is that creatures evolved because their environment suddenly changed - they had no choice - and a very high percentage never made it.
Well, I don't know but the timelines involved are so vast as to allow for more than one linear evoluntionary scale.
Deep-ocean vents are a source of oil and gas (evidence of abiogenic hydrocarbons)

a new study, published online today (June 15, 2008) in the journal Nature, suggests that it is the ocean, and in particular the epic ebbs and flows of sea level and sediment over the course of geologic time, that is the primary cause of the world's periodic mass extinctions during the past 500[sc1] million years.s/b "a nothing-new study".

I'm upside down. Doom doesn't look all that bad...
Ummmmmmmmm, what happened to blam?
The moon was 70% closer then - causing daily tides from one to several hundred feet. They have completely misread whatever evidence they think they're presenting...
LOL. I'm fine...just a little under the weather for a day or so.
