The world's largest recorded deep earthquake occurred on May 24, 2013, at a depth of 609 km in the subducting Pacific plate beneath the Sea of Okhotsk near Kamchatka, Russia, as shown in the schematic vertical cross-section above and on the map below.

Do you think anyone who might want to go a little deeper into it than that is going to Hell?

It’s obviously caused by a combination of climate change, fracking and the tea party.

Oh, racism too.

Nope ... unless they lied to me in Junior High ... just reciting science fact.

Did that inspire you to dig deeper? Into the science of nuclear physics?

Proving that more stimulus money is needed to study this.

“And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: . . .” Isaiah 5:12-15

“Do you think anyone who might want to go a little deeper into it than that is going to Hell?”

Well, it IS 609 km down!

As a scientist, and a Christian, I love stories like this that put the question marks in science. One, it is exciting to learn and research “new” things; and two, it should humble us when we think we know everything.

I think the post like the one I responded to disrespect Christian scientists who are doing good, original, valid work in all the sciences.

At least it comes across like that to me.

Well, you could improve things by not posting to threads that you aren’t prepared to discuss.

Nope .. I just remember the simplicity of the universe God gave us ... I don't question much of what does not innately enter in and register as valid.

Some call it the spirit of discernment.
