...disaster is “not imminent,” he adds, “This is the type of mechanism that may generate massive plume eruptions, but on the timescale of 100 million to 200 million years from now. So don’t cancel your cruises.”...

• Hotspot plume supervolcano eruptions like those during the past 2 million years at Wyoming’s Yellowstone caldera, which covered North America with volcanic ash.
• Gargantuan flood basalt eruptions that created “large igneous provinces” like the Pacific Northwest’s Columbia River basalts 17 million to 15 million years ago, India’s Deccan Traps some 65 million years ago and the Pacific’s huge Ontong Java Plateau basalts, which buried an Alaska-sized area 125 million to 199 million years ago.

“These very large, massive eruptions may be tied to some extinction events,” Thorne says.

In the clear for the next 200 million years? Good career move, even better than the global warming scam. Yellowstone 2 million years ago? Weird coincidence, that's when the Eltanin impact happened. Pacific NW basalts 17 to 15 million years ago? Weird coincidence, the big crater in Germany dates to about that time. Deccan Traps 65 million years ago? Weird coincidence, that's in the ballpark of the Chicxulub impact.

None of this ever happened. Why do you continue to post disinformation? We all know the Earth is only a few thousand years old!

Hebrews 11:3 - "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Question: Both evolution and creation require faith since they cannot be recreated. Which requires more faith?

A. To believe the universe came from nothing

B. To believe that the universe was created

[SunkenCiv]

This isn’t an evolution thread, and has nothing to do with evolution.

The question is a philosophical one, and all of those are a massive waste of time.

And it is flat, for sure with a bump here and there.

Sshhh.. I'm trolling, leave me alone.

They forgot to mention the huge Siberian Traps and the possibility of a major boloid strike near Australia.
