At least if one throws enough stones into ocean, one could theoretically change the topography of the ocean floor and make some difference to how the ocean works. That surely beats Durius ordering the water of the strait of be flogged with 500 lashes for daring to turn rough and sinking his pontoon bridge, and infinitely better than the dynamic and proactive act of praying.

Some geologists have proposed that we call the next epoch the "weshouldhavecene".
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

How about "itdidnthavetobecene", or "ifonlywedidcene"?

I see you are all trying to turn this into a joke but... I am genuinely sad. I feel a sort of kinship to the ocean and it's myriad of life.

May the history of the Earth's beloved Ocean rest in peace and may we remember this horrific time in our history.
