Swim, wade? ping

The reason that a footprint is testable is due to the fact that it has undergone a metamorphosis. We don't have a million year old lab yet.

Precisely! When I was in Grad school back in the 1970s (before everything was totally PC), a fellow geographer was studying a frog in Brazil that also could be found in Africa - all to prove continents were once connected - something that is now pretty accepted - continental drift, tectonic plates, earth is a sphere.... I also believe that petroleum is an abiotic material from the earth’s mantle and is in very plentiful supply all over the earth. Call me crazy!

[Perdogg]

what is your opinion on this?

[BGHater]

‘abiotic material from the earth’s mantle and is in very plentiful supply all over the earth.’

Not crazy. I have similar theories; many a USSR scientist believed as well.

Prior to ‘drifting apart’ a portion of Scotland was adjacent to the Catskill Mountains in NY — or so I learned on The History Channel.

Not crazy. Here is a study into the process.

or, that guy from California who made fake Bigfoot shoes and put prints all over the west coast has expanded his work.. :)

"I also believe that petroleum is an abiotic material from the earth’s mantle and is in very plentiful supply all over the earth."

I'm certainly open to that possibility...One would think that if petroleum came from living organisms, it would have been renewing itself over the aeons, would continue to do so. Likewise, many people consider methane an organic compound until they are asked what organisms produced all the methane on Uranus and Neptune....

ah hahaha.. I clicked on the thread just looking for that pic.

Even 170 million years ago, Tibet didn’t want to be a part of China ....

Sail bonny boat
Like a bird on the wing-
Onward ! the sailors cry

Carry the lad
Who was born to be King
Over the seas to Skye.

Over the sea to Skye

[mrmeangenes]

That was nice ! I first heard it in a Clancy Brothers album.

Looking at the You Tube thread, I noticed an autoharp version as well. (Hmm.. Wonder if I could find the chords somewhere ? I’ll check later.)

Thanks !

Oops ! My apologies for “jumping the thread” !

[Alice in Wonderland]

I love that song!

My apologies also for “jumping the thread”.
