Paper on Comet/Asteroid Impact Causing the Younger Dryas Cooling.

Quote: We present detailed geochemical and morphological analyses of nearly 700 spherules from 18 sites in support of a major cosmic impact at the onset of the Younger Dryas episode (12.8ka). The impact distributed 10 million tonnes of meltedspherules over 50 million square kilometers on four continents. Origins of the spherules by volcanism, anthropogenesis,authigenesis, lightning, and meteoritic ablation are rejected ongeochemical and morphological grounds. The spherules closelyresemble known impact materials derived from surficial sediments melted at temperatures 2,200 °C. The spherules corre-late with abundances of associated melt-glass, nanodiamonds,carbon spherules, aciniform carbon, charcoal, and iridium.




Far too complicated for the theists..... stick with your silly fairy tales and leave the hard stuff to the scientists. Oddly, 12,800 years ago is more than double your precious 6,000 for the start of the whole fucking universe!
