How lacking in actual science is this report!
So, new calculations produced revised theories ruling out the prior ones. Fantabulous!
One is curious about the next revision... will the evolution of life be ruled out?
Oh... just intelligent life.

250 million years ago is a bit tricky detail wise and ruling out hypothesis is the path to theories.

Worldwide flood? Of course, being modern scientists that we are, we would have to reject that idea because of its ties to that bible story...

MrFred, it seems you are being ironic.

Notice that if there was a global flood, there would be no reason for the death of 95% of marine life. Also, such theory is invalid simply because the idea that so much water can appear from nowhere and disappear again is ludicrous!

MrFred, Isn't thatwhat global warming alarmists want us to believe?? hehe ;)(worldwide flooding)

Hey tran toar - "such theory is invalid simply because the idea that so much water can appear from nowhere and disappear again is ludicrous!" Thanks for this quote - it's classic -I'm going to use it in my presentations.
BTW - There's a planet in our solar system where exactly such a thing happened - it's called Mars. Atheists look at Mars and say it's obvious - massive flooding on almost a global scale. What's ironic is Mars is bone dry. These same scientists are standing on a planet that's 73% water and declare it's 'unscientific' to suggest a worldwide flood (Genesis 6 - 9).
