Closeup of a zit I had last week:

"Still never met a human who's been around long enough to verify that those alleged "4 billion years" actually elapsed."

And why does it have to be a human? What are you, prejudiced?

[NicknamedBob]

"... blood-descendants of slimy amœbas ..."

Amoebas don't have blood. Probably very few blood relatives, also.

To this day, all the male residents are called 'Tambourine Men'.

They all like to sit around the bonfire and sing like William Shatner.

There were no trees, for two billion of those years, to make the paper of a book, and no hand to write upon the paper.

Now, many people are impressed with the power of a Creator who could produce everything there is, but don't wish to accord Him the power and the foresight to be able to set things in motion so that His plan would be fulfilled even eons after He thought of it.

Behold the power of compound Interest.

Those are not white sheep.They are white men. I know because the white man was in American and everywhere else before Indians or any one else. I read it on Free Republic (Kennewick man, Vikings, etc. etc. )

Isn't this odd. I just got an e-mail from the Prince of Tambora, and he said he would transfer $20 million to me if I just give him my account number.

According to Steve Carey, professor of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography, the discovery is important because "it provides a unique opportunity to study the effects of this very large explosive eruption on the people who lived close to the volcano."

I suppose there is always some new study to be done, but if he dug up a copy of "The Volcanoes Deadly Work" he'd find at least a rudimentary explanation, that of the victims on Martinique of the St Pierre Eruption: they were flash cooked. (The only survivor was a fellow who was in prison, iirc, convicted of murder: he was pardoned (he alone had been spared by the hand of God).

Wiped out in 1815 by the largest volcanic eruption in human history

Maybe largest volcanic eruption in recorded human history. The eruption of Toba about 75,000 years ago wiped out all human beings on earth with the exception of 5,000 - 10,000 individuals. This blast was much larger than Tambora in 1815.

>There was no history before humans began to write and record events and conditions.

A member of the Great Race of Yith would liek to have a word with you.
