Ok, I took the day off yesterday because of a "incoming missile". I posted this thread 2 days ago. I have read every post since.

I live in Hawaii! I understand that the rift and expansion is leading us to a subduction zone to feed other volcanoes!

I DON'T have a problem with "plate tectonics". GEEZ! obviously India smacked into South Asia and made the Himalayas. The geography of South Asia and India are completely different.

Someone said if the earth was smaller it would be a higher gravity. Please 'splain that!

I'm trying to understand how the Aboriginals from Africa ended up in Australia 25k years ago as science tells me. Well, if it was a smaller earth then, with out vast oceans, then they just freakin' walked there--DUH! And the Indians to North America didn't walk an ice bridge! Or, come from Asia through Alaska! Yet, they were here just as they found them! I'm sorry that I'm sooo stupid! But, this is why I ask questions to smart people! Do you think I can ask my questions to stupid theologians?
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

We may never know.  Smart money is "by land and water".  Mostly since we don't have wings.

I know - it's the ark, right?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Boats and its 50.000 years ago.
There were gaps in the ice sheets in the Americas and navigable edges with loanable beaches.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

See, the koalas had the right idea.  They weren't gonna hoof it like common human beings, they got on the Australia train from S. America before the continents separated.

The volcanic chain of Hawai'i should be all the evidence you need for plate tectonics, and well as vulcanism and it's ability to create/destroy.
