• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How about friction and drag?
Care to comment on these factors?
Or don't you care to THINK about it?

Complaints that the flood would not cause the motion to begin, but a pole-shift certainly would. And the pole-shift happened just 150 years after the flood.

I am not a scientist. I rely on the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community in these matters. How about you?

Don't skirt the issue. Let the USGS know how wrong they are. There may be a Nobel Prize in it for you. ;)

Bear, I am trying to get you to talk to me, not just say what others have said.
Do YOU think these could be factors or not?
The scientist can not use figures they do not have, therefore if the drift has slowed over the past centuries they would have no way of determining how fast they were moving in the first place, nor when they began to drift.
So all they can do is use the current figures and work back.

Isn't this a question that must be addressed in this discussion?
Isn't it relavant?

In your opinion?

Duane,

There was no pole shift. If there was a (physical) pole shift the earth would be reduced to a molten mass of superheated rock and vapor just before it crumbled and was obliterated into nothing but a few small (molten) asteroids by the sheer force and searing heat.

Yep you are completely right. But the Reversal of Earth's magnetic field did happen. Very few hundred thousand years Earth's magnetic field dwindles almost to nothing for perhaps a century, then gradually reappears with the north and south poles flipped. The last such reversal was 780,000 years ago.

Let me answer you by asking this. Do you have a complete understanding of silicone wafer masking and doping?

E-mail me at
Duane@computerroom.com
and I will send you the graphic of the ice core.
If you have CorelDRAW!, let me know what version and I will send the original file. It is easier to check the exact years in this format as you can simply go 1mm per year. It is also a smaller file that bitmap types.
I can also export it to .bmp, .jpg, or any number of formats that most paint programs can read.

No, and just how is that answering the query?

Or are you SO afraid I am correct?

Can't think on your own and have to resort to answering questions on a subject YOU brought up with other questions that have NOTHING to do with it?

Sure, Duane.

I could sit here and make up all kinds of stuff, based on any logic or wild imagination. I could logically draw a line to any conclusion, just like you do. But, what is this based on? My own imagination, unchecked against tests and predicted results? I could say that the sun is a giant flashlight, using 2000 batteries to run it, and that it only shines on one side, that the other side of the sun is dark.

What do you want me to do, play along and give plausability to your whacked-out view of how our natural world works?

No thanks.

And, stop playing games here. You would be crushed if you were to bring these goofy assumptions to a discussion board of scientists.

So, either tell the USGS and NASA how wrong they are, or get off the stage.

John
