Care to comment on my #17?
I'm not sure why you and I are having this back and forth ... My original comment was to the comment in the article that they didn't understand how the earthquake could happen under so much pressure.
My comment was ... Cause God said so.
(That's in the original Chaldean)
From there it sort of sideslipped ...
What keeps the negative electron from smashing down into the relatively positive nucleus ... ?
The Finger Of God.

Do you think anyone who might want to go a little deeper into it than that is going to Hell?
To: DManA
Nope ... unless they lied to me in Junior High ... just reciting science fact.
] To: knarf
Did that inspire you to dig deeper? Into the science of nuclear physics?
! To: DManA
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.

As you can see ... our conversation is a little fractured.
It does. I’m reminded of the time I couldn’t answer some question on a test back in college, and put down something like “God did it”. My prof didn’t think it was the right answer either!
Say, isn’t that where the USN regularly put a tap on a Soviet underwater communications cable? (pre optical...)
It's only simple if you don't bother to examine it. That is why I say you disrespect scientists, including Christian scientists, who expend great energy, time and brain power and who are slowly tweezing it all out.
And it disrespects the Creator of it all who gave it to us to enjoy and examine.
Science is their God and arrogance is their toolset, and to quote his word in their ‘holy place’ is and abomination to them,
and its not your or I they don’t like, and that’s the only reason i chimed in,
I should’ve html underlined this part,
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
If you WANT to make it difficult and complicated, by all means .. have at it.
But is it Christian to chasten a born again believer who just ..... believes?
Mary Baker Eddy would chasten YOU.
I feel a country western song lyric stirring in me
The earth is twerking!
Thanx ... appreciate it.
At a depth of about 609 kilometers (378 miles), the intense pressure on the fault should inhibit the kind of rupture that took place. "It's a mystery how these earthquakes happen. How can rock slide against rock so fast while squeezed by the pressure from 610 kilometers of overlying rock?" said Thorne Lay, professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

I don't know. But I bet it makes for a big earthquake.
Pressure induced metamorphic change of structure with reduction of volume and attendant shock wave.
