Oh. Do you have a PhD in geology?

Am I required to have a PhD in geology to read or understand statements such as "catastrophism gave way to "uniformitarianism," a new way of thinking centered around the "Uniformitarian Principle" proposed in 1785 by James Hutton, a Scottish geologist". Or how about "Those holding this viewpoint assume that the geologic forces and processes -- gradual as well as catastrophic -- acting on the Earth today are the same as those that have acted in the geologic past". (emphasis mine)

Oh, do you have a PhD in English?

Their Antarctica was warm and wet.

There must have been a lot of humans driving cars back then, too...

One is a 70-million-year old quick-moving meat-eater found on the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while the other is a 200-million-year-old giant plant-eater that was found on the top of a mountain, reports Reuters.

You are correct. That would be Lewinsky and Thomas.

Interesting.

The resistence of the spinning earth (or any spinning object) to change plane of rotation (think motorcycle wheels getting more stable at speed), however, makes me call "B.S." on anything more than a magnetic-only change.

I guess it's possible, though, but it would take quite the shift, and I would think there would be a very distinct "wobble" for a couple billion years after such a traumatic event.

70 million years ago, when one of the dinosaurs lived, the Antarctic was supposed to be located...at the bottom of the world.

Need a different explanation.

So what happened after they thawed out the 8 ft tall, biped carnivore? It’s been about 10 years now.
