These guys just throw this crap out to keep their phony baloney jobs.

Always liked my continents crusty. A continent without crust is just a piece of limp land.

Ping.

Remember, the science is
...settled.

It’s hard to tell if the author doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and is trying to cover it up, or if the researchers are the culprits. It could be both.

I told those guys to use Barite like 6 years ago.

WHAT!? “Science” was WRONG! /s

Thanks Redcitizen.

A half billion here, a half billion there and pretty soon you’re talkin’ real time!...................

My studies say it was closer to 491 million years ago.

[null and void]

In before it can’t possibly be older than 6,025 years this October...

[SunkenCiv]

Ev? ;^)

Interesting-they admit they have likely miscalculated-so the science isn’t settled...

If the science isn’t settled on the time solid rock formed continents, then it damn sure can’t be settled when it comes to insubstantial things like climate change, man-made or otherwise...

[SunkenCiv]

Yes, because "settled science" is strictly a political term, or a religious one -- nothing to do with the scientific method.

[Sirius Lee]

Imagine you’re a young, insecure Earth and someone comes up to you, “Hey, your crust is showing.” That can be devastating.

[Sirius Lee]

Well, when do they figure the planets collide, moon blob gets thrown up thing happened? If that’s what happened?

[Texan5]

I seriously doubt that any real scientist has even attempted to prove the man-made climate change theory/theories using the scientific method-high school science class used to show how to use the scientific method to prove a theory-I guess not any more...

[nicollo]

Looks like the Egyptians had it right after all...


Benben Stone or "primeval mound"

In the creation myth of the Heliopolitan form of ancient Egyptian religion, Benben was the mound that arose from the primordial waters Nu upon which the creator deity Atum settled. The Benben stone (also known as a pyramidion) is the top stone of the pyramid.
