>>The radioactive element uranium is present in minute amounts in the water dripping onto a stalagmite. The uranium then becomes part of the formation. Uranium decays into the element thorium at a steady and known rate, so its decay rate can be used to construct a timeline of a stalagmite’s growth.

By matching the stalagmite’s growth timeline with the sequence of wet and dry periods revealed by the oxygen analyses, the researchers could tell in century-by-century detail when the Southwest was wet and when it was dry. <<

One of the things that amazes me about this and so many other interesting and complex puzzles is that God even put clocks in the evidence that we could use to better interpret it. It’s like getting a “brain teaser” game for your kids.

That's a good way to say it....God put a clock in "stuff". Godf also put the planets so they're not bumping each other every time they pass each other.

Anbd imagine him putting the sun in the middle...because it has a special job...

We should be humbled by all this....but man is so arrogant. Let me introduce you to the man that can control God...Al Gore!!

Sounds like a good book title: "The Man Who Controlled God".
