There are large craters all over the world, even Europe............
Because this is L.A., not Chicago, and we don’t care how they do it in Chicago!
Thanks, I couldn’t have said it better, I agree with you completely, and that means most of what everyone hears today is this bad science, and I mean really bad, it doesn’t even qualify as science, and that includes what we hear coming out of the space program unfortunately.
“Plus it’s amazing how Alligators are always near ground zero for these Asteroid/Comet hits, yet they always manage to survive unscathed.”
4 functioning brain cells, a bullet-proof hide and that smile they wear no matter what’s going on.
Amen to that. If you cannot prove it, it’s not science just supposition.
“....orange tabby...”
I have one named Norman. Same thing with him; lives with 2 pit bulls and thinks he’s one. He CANNOT be left home when we walk the dogs and runs out of the house to see other dogs walking down the street w/ their owners.
LOL
meaner n’ a snake but also VERY sweet! heehee
Next time you see a Chinese Dragon look for the ball close to it. It is usually red or gold and smoking. That would be Mars.
Velikovsky's books are out of print, but you can still find used copies. I liked "Earth in Upheaval" best. He talked about the three meters of "muck" which was jumbled tropical plant and animal remains that had to be dug through to get to the gold in Alaska. Funny how I haven't heard about that anywhere else.
And Herodotus said that the Egyptians said that during their history the sun had changed its direction of travel three times. He wrote is if he didn't believe them. But why would someone lie about something like that?
What is interesting about all of this is that if catastrophies occur on a regular basis, then mankind is NOT IN CONTROL OF ITS DESTINY. This is anathema to liberals, socialists, communists and that ilk.
Sure.. Like the aquatic American Bison that survived
Or the Land Loving Giant Beaver that went extinct
Sorry, I think what Geologist Norman Macleod said about the Dino Asteroid hypothesis
"The impact theory says in effect that a rock fell out of the sky and killed everything, except for the things that it didn't kill. I don't think that's much of an explanation."
Fits here as well
I’d say then, that this “theory” is full of holes.
It’s no great feat to find a couple of exceptions.
The fact remains: land animals suffered extinctions during this event at several times the rate of water animals.
Go back to your cave and scratch on the walls.
Or better yet, just try to invent all of the wonders of our civilization without scientists and see how far you get.
The "global" flood was shown to be a myth 200 years ago.
And you have shown you are both ignorant and arrogant.
I know a couple of those authors professionally; they are quite knowledgeable.
Science works with evidence, not proof. Here are a couple of definitions (from a long list on my FR home page) that might help:
Proof: Except for math and geometry, there is little that is actually proved. Even well-established scientific theories can't be conclusively proved, because--at least in principle--a counter-example might be discovered. Scientific theories are always accepted provisionally, and are regarded as reliable only because they are supported (not proved) by the verifiable facts they purport to explain and by the predictions which they successfully make. All scientific theories are subject to revision (or even rejection) if new data are discovered which necessitates this.Proof: A term from logic and mathematics describing an argument from premise to conclusion using strictly logical principles. In mathematics, theorems or propositions are established by logical arguments from a set of axioms, the process of establishing a theorem being called a proof.
The colloquial meaning of "proof" causes lots of problems in physics discussion and is best avoided. Since mathematics is such an important part of physics, the mathematician's meaning of proof should be the only one we use. Also, we often ask students in upper level courses to do proofs of certain theorems of mathematical physics, and we are not asking for experimental demonstration!
So, in a laboratory report, we should not say "We proved Newton's law" Rather say, "Today we demonstrated (or verified) the validity of Newton's law in the particular case of..." Source
Then how come there were mammoths, sabertooths and humans in Los Angeles some 9,000 years ago?
The Columbian Mammoth
The Columbian Mammoth was one of the last members of the American Megafauna to become extinct, with several specimens dating to 9,000 years ago or less and one near Nashville, Tennessee, reliably dated to only about 7,800 years ago.
This study is laughable, it's a Liberal's wet dream
It's
1) Anti-Nuclear
2) Pro-AGW
3) Pro-Noble Savage
Scientists find signs of 13,000-year-old extinction event
