If you observe the map closely, the object came in low from the northeast, making a trough before it dug in. I'm not following; maybe because I'm hungry. Gotta rustle up a bit to eat.

True, and I was just ribbing the scientist types on the forum. Take care...

[I would like to see you people wrap up all this kind of thing within the next few years, I only have one life time and I dont like all the unanswered questions that I have being unanswered by you science types.
It would be wonderful if you guys could wrap up the major issues soon, say within 15 or twenty years.
Thank you very much.]
The jesting was understood, and I actually did ‘LOL’! You stated a sentiment that is common to people who look to science for their needs and wants. It’s also a sentiment that is on the minds of most scientists but is considered an improper subject to discuss in public (like that family member who’s serving time in prison). “Where are all the f****** definitive answers we’ve been waiting for?”

LOL. I should write that one down.
I give these guys a hard time, but of course the scientific process is valid. There’s just times when they grate me something fierce.

Well, you’re being rather charitable. The reality is that theories must be lofted in a public manner so others can evaluate and offer up modifications or sparked new theories.
I suppose it gets under our skins a little that ‘the gospel’ is presented often enough and corrected a few years later, so that some rankor does develop.
Thanks for the post. Later...

“”I saw a tremendous drop-off of Redstone points after Clovis,” said Goodyear. “When you see such a widespread decline or pattern like that, you really have to wonder whether there is a population decline to go with it.”’
Hmmm. Maybe it was their version of gun control. The abo-shaman general said, “We need safer arrows,” so WMDs [Winged, notched, daggerheaded] were outlawed.

I don't think the scientific community has any idea how much damage the parade of junk science theories has done to their credibility, from Paul Ehrlich and Rachel Carson right on through to Global Warming, which IMHO will be the most embarrassing when it implodes.
They want to blame their troubles on religious conservatives, when if they want to get to the heart of the problem, they should be looking at themselves.

Did it exterminate the Clovis folks? Don't know yet...interesting ideas though. It really needn't have exterminated the people - if the comet event destroyed their food source it would have had a catastrophic impact on their culture, allowing rivals to challenge them.

Thanks FGS for the, hmm, almost an update topic... True enough. I wasn't aware of how many articles/posts there've been on the subject. I spend some time under a rock occasionally.

Re:
...a widespread decline of post-Clovis points that suggests a possible widespread decline of humans. Simple explanation: The Liberal Democrats of the time got in control. Through their policies to halt global cooling, tax the rich and make everyone equal in both health, wealth and living space, the whole civilization collapsed and died out.
