I believe God has the power to set off earthquakes. I also believe that in the end times we will have a lot of earthquakes and I suspect they will happen on fault lines in diverse places.
Quix did not say anything outside the realm of his world view on this thread. A forum full of head-nodding dirtboy clones would be boring and shallow as hell. On the other hand, one dirtboy is fun and interesting. I enjoy your point of view, dirtboy. But I don’t want your point of view to be the only one here.
I would expect a truly remarkable earthquake, in an area not known for them, to be the work of God. I didn’t even know this seismic zone existed, but FR being FR, someone either did know or did a bit of research and found out, and posted links to the info. And it’s a tie for the strongest earthquake in the history of VA, so it is not in and of itself unusual for intensity - and others in recorded history on the East Coast have been stronger, such as the Charleston quake last century. Sometimes, an earthquake is just an earthquake, and a hurricane is just a hurricane (hopefully Irene’s track will keep trending eastward and miss DC and me up in Philly, unlike Isabel in 2003, which raised a lot of heck on the East Cost). It becomes an exercise in silliness to look for signs in what a few minutes of research shows is not extraordinary.
