Continental Drift, you can't explain that!

Duh.

Of course, it makes perfect sense when you let your perspective be shaped by facts and observation instead of the other way around.

Someone get Lance Henrickson on the phone.

You know what kind of rock Mt Everest is made up of? Marine limestone, riddled with shallow water fossils.

Another reason why the "6,000 year old Earth" thing has always puzzled me...

Ennuipoet: Continental Drift, you can't explain that!

The suspension is so soft on a Lincoln that you can't actually drift it around a corner.

That generated a genuine gut laugh.

"If we were to lose a lot of ice from Antarctica then we're going to see a dramatic change in sea level all around the planet."

Even a few metres of sea level rise would inundate "large portions of the habitable land around coasts of many major countries and low-lying regions," he added.


That's ok, I can handle Harrisburg being beachfront property.

Is it too soon to start buying property in Antarctica? Might be the happening spot in 30 or 40 years..

God's just testing our faith with fake jungles.

That God, what a troll.

Now don't go bringing facts into this. We all know Satan put those there to confuse us.

Good thing I live up near the Rockies and would need a 5k foot rise in sea level...

They found the Savage Land? Someone get a hold of Xavier.

if they find a Mayan-like temple, it's probably a good idea to stay away.

In before the "Antarctica was once 70 degrees so we can ignore global warming until it's warmer than that" denier crowd.

Marines aren't made out of limestone, they're made out of the toughest stuff on Earth! Shallow fossils? Show some respect for the core!

It's the super devil, and his marmalade jar, striking again.

and of all things climate change as well. The Sahara used to be a forest thousands of years ago; they found cave paintings of what people hunted nearby.

not the best map but you can clearly see that Antarctica is at or at least very near the south pole even 65 Ma.

wraithmare: We all know Satan put those there to confuse us.

I though it was god who put the fossils there to test our faith. Or something.

I actually had one person tell me that those fossils were from the old testament flood. I just blinked a couple times and made my exit.

These old-testament literalists are the same people who claim that God is a jealous, angry autocrat who is anything but all-benevolent, and who must be worshiped simply because he has all the power.

The same people whose greatest scholars claim that the solution to the "problem of evil" is simply that "when God does it, it's not evil."

And you're puzzled by their reasoning?

My wife's belief says that the Flood exerted a lot of pressure on the the Earth's crust, forcing land what was at or below sea-level to be forced upwards.

Scary thing is, that was used at the end of the movie 2012. so I don't know how possible it would be for that to happen.

The animals were washed up there by the flood and then fast fossilized.

That doesn't make any sense. At all.

Not surprising. There were no pirates back then, so the temperatures would have been through the roof.

I thought we already knew this... I read there were dinosaurs and forests their for years...

Anyone ever studied the effect of mass increase on plate tectonics? I was rather shocked to see the idea in a non-religious movie, but I can't find anything on the internet not bible-related.

A movie about the world ending due to Mayan prophecies isn't religious?

I thought it was astronomical, not theological....


Anyways found this. That's a hell of a lot of match, but while a continent could theoretically rise due to water pressure, it would only be about 1000 ft and would take longer than the 1 year Young-Earth Creationists say happened.

"Harrisburg! HARRISBURG!!!!!"

If you're going to take a book written over multiple generational literally, you need to be called a moron. We can't even get through one election cycle without idiots trying to rewrite history to their benefit. You think a book "from God", the most important book in the world at the time, was able to?

That said, one think I would love to see is someone going through the "good book" tying any allegory they can in there with current scientific knowledge. Dust to dust sounds an awful lot like how we know we're made of star stuff now. Who ever said 6 days and nights on God time is the same as on earth?

I don't expect it to be 100% serious, but if little green men did come down from the heavens and were trying to explain quantum mechanics and the nature of the universe to sheep herders, wouldn't allusion and allegory be the best bet? Does the bible line up well in that notion?

TyrantII: Who ever said 6 days and nights on God time is the same as on earth?

Who ever said they were 6 days in a row?

Yeah, cause a handful of b-rate space bugs and some honor-seeking most dangerous game hunters are definitely the worst thing you could find in a strange ancient temple buried in the ice.
