"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." ( Genesis 1:1,2)

___________________

FROM Jamieson-Fausset-Brown's COMMENTARY OF GENESIS:

The earth was without form and void-or in "confusion and emptiness," as the words are rendered in Isa 34:11. This globe, at some undescribed period, having been convulsed and broken up, was a dark and watery waste for ages perhaps, till out of this chaotic state, the present fabric of the world was made to arise.

So, by examining the teeth of eel-like animals, they were able to determine that the earth was lifeless for tens of thousands of years? The eel-like animals help us understand that the sea in particular was incapable of supporting life? Gee ... something doesn't seem right there ... give me a moment ...

Ya know, I find the Bible to be a lot more believable than this stuff.

Then Algore came and made the earth cool, and created abundant life.

Then the angel Henry Ford became jealous, turned evil and denied Algore, and created the SUV to spoil all of Algore’s wondrous works.

Since then the earth has been sundered in the battle between good and Evil.

250 million years ago most continents were all clumped togetehr into a “super continent” this has far more effect on screwy weather patterns. The fact that today the earth’s continets are more or less evenly distributed with large masses of water between them has had a very stabilizing effect on the global weather pattersn, in fact it is one of the thigs that has lead to periods of global cooling known as the “ice ages”. If we had another super continent situation, I would be worried about Global warming CAUSED by having a supercontinet over CO2 anyday.

The historical sciences like evolution and the big bang theory are highly speculative in nature.

Hopefully future global warming won’t get anywhere near temperatures of 250 million years ago, but if it does we have shown that it may take millions of years to recover," Professor Paul Wignall of Leeds Uni said.

I have no problem with responding to Dr. Wignall with an amused, "who cares?"

Given what we know about earth's history, we should expect some crazy stuff over the next billion years. Or maybe a different tense like "would have expected" or something, acknowledging the fact that not one of us or any recognizable ancestor of us will be subject to deadly global temperatures even under the current exaggerated models

Sharks have been around for over 400 million years.

Doesn’t sound quite right.

Geologists need to update the way they look at things. Check out http://www.threeimpacts-twoevents.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SIMULTANEOUS-IMPACTS7.pdf

According to the slide presentation at the link, it was the simultaneous impacts of two massive objects that configured Earth’s landforms and instilled its obliquity.

I know one thing for certain.

Once we are all dead, there will not be a single complaint.

I recently cut-down a tree in my yard that was looking really skanky. Looking at the rings on the stump, you could clearly see about 25 years or regular, healthy growth, but the last five rings were blurred, irregular, and frankly sick looking. Matched the tree’s latest appearance.

Imagine that.

I just can’t imagine what that does to the evolutionists position on the amount of mutations necessary over the amount of time now left to produce life.

/s

Does that fall under *punctuated equilibrium*?

“EARTH was a BAKING LIFELESS DESERT for 5 MILLION years”

And then stucco was invented and a metropolis called Phoenix rose from the caliche and cactus, a fortress where mankind could huddle around the refrigeration in chilly darkness.
