Well.

Clearly the best way to destroy the earth is with my tag-line, courtesy Marvin the Martian. I'm just waiting to hear the Earth Shattering KA-BOOM.

I'm shaking my head in bewilderment as I read your post. I'm not going to argue further with such crazy ideas. I have more important things to do.

"The Earth will be consumed by the sun as it expands into a red giant passed our orbit several billion years from now.""

"If a car passing your house is passed by another car as it goes past your line of sight, you will only see the one car pass as the passing car is hidden by the car going past your house until both cars are past."


Beyond our orbit, enveloping our orbit, consuming our orbit, suns diameter exceeding earths orbital diameter.

Your use of the word passed should have been past.

Science fact has a frustrating habit of changing randomly...
As I recall, Continental Drift was not scientificaly "accepted" until well into the atomic age...

So much for "fact".

Also, isn't it strangely prideful to claim that we're it - the top of the heap? Maybe we humble humans are NOT his end goal, or highest achievement - maybe we're just an intermediate step along the way......

No more strange or prideful than...

Claiming you have greater insight into the question than anyone else.
Claiming that trees are.
Claiming that nothing is.
Claiming that it is our most pressing issue.

It was fictional about I scientist who accidentally created a black hole in his lab in the mountains and it oscillated back and fourth throughout the earth wreaking havoc.

That wasn't fictional. That was a biography of Hillary Clinton.

I'm a creationist, but you don't see me flaming the thread. Personally, where Genesis 1:1-2 states, 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and void...", there could have been a 4 billion year interval between verse 1 and verse 2, with the description of Gen. chapters 1 and 2 being not a creation story, but a re-creation story.

I could be wrong, since I try to avoid the flamefests on this board, but I don't think you're a big C Creationist. You believe in a Creator, but you don't insist on a young Earth or that people lived with dinosaurs, right? I'm probably right there with you.

That is a very reasonable perspective. Many CRIDers just assert Genesis as being literal -- 6 days + 1 rest -- and use Numbers or the other reference that follows Jesus' lineage back to Adam to come up with the age of the Earth.

The Earth is old. And, as this article says, rather large.

Could the Earth go on a diet and lose weight?

More proof carbs make you fat.

"the moon is also moving away from the earth a little bit each year too."

So, are the tides getting a little bit lower each year too?"


-- -- --


No.

They normally would be getting smaller, but human population growth, burning of fossil fuels, and eating animals is causing tidal waves like the one last year. < /sarc>


actually, it's yes. As Luna rotates around the Earth, it is moving further away due to speeding up. How is it speeding up? It is absorbing rotational energy away from the Earth - here and now as we speak. So the Earth rotation speed is actually slowing down. Believe it or not, the ocean tides are the medium for the energy transfer from Earth to Luna. As Luna gets further away, the tides tranfer less and less momentum to Luna.

"Just wondering...

How did they get the earth on a scale?

Average density times total volume
