“scientists have found more evidence that Earth tips over from time to time”

Anybody on FR could have told you that based on the sheer insanity infecting our nation the past 20 years.

Stuff like this is why I immediately discredit the global climate change crowd. It takes hundreds of thousands if not millions of years for changes to happen globally. The ramping of fossil fuel burning 100 years ago is a fleck of dust on the coffee table of Earth’s time in the solar system.

No, it straightened up back then. Now it’s tipped over again.

Not to mention that if it happened once it probably
happened more than once in billions of years.

What would tge data indicate if say, the billions of unobserved time was replaced with oh, maybe 10000 years?

We all have the same evidence, it’s just how we interpret it and by what assumptions we apply....

Earth Tipping on its own is hard to imagine. Perhaps, if a large enough meteor, asteroid, or comet struck Earth with a tangential blow to cause a rotation not aligned with the Earth’s axis, maybe. But, how would this resolve back to the normal axis.

What is interesting about this finding is that the Bible says the God of the Bible is going to do this again as judgement for rebellion against Him…

Isaiah 24:2 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. 3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

There’s been evidence of polar orientation shifts for a long time. We’re able to pinpoint time frames much better with modern science, but the historical record is full of instances where aurorae were seen much closer to the equator than is common.

It’s understood that any sort of shift like that today would likely be damaging to modern communications.
