Climate: Natural disasters (page 5)

How about reading a really good book on evolution that was written in 1859 and is still pretty much required reading for any evolutionary biology major...

I think it's called "The Origin of Species" or something. It was written over 100 years ago and is still widely quoted today...

I thought this thread needed something....

For hibie:

"My name is Elmer J. Fudd. Millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht."

"Does your tobacco taste different lately?!" - Bugs

I know this defies the law of gravity, but I never studied law! - Bugs

OK, wabbit, we'll see whose I.Q is P.U. ! - Elmer

Carrots are devine... You get a dozen for a dime, It's maaaa-gic! - Bugs Bunny

For Funky:

For shame, doc. Hunting rabbits with an elephant gun. Why don't you shoot yourself an elephant? - Bugs

Well, woman, blink your eyes or something. Yeesh! - Foghorn Leghorn

What'ya doin' with a pump, boy? Diggin' for oil? You're crazy, boy. There's no oil within 500 miles of here. Geology of the ground's all wrong. Even if there WAS oil you'd need a drill not a tire pump. - Foghorn Leghorn

Ah, what a beautiful dream! It would be a traGEDy if someone were to disturb this Serene Scene! - Bugs

"Gee, ain't I a stinker?"

sacri: It would be more correct to say we share a common ancestor with monkeys and apes.

And who on earth would that be? Is it your ancestor? It is amazing we haven't seen any monkeys and apes evolving to date. I know for a fact the climate had nothing to do with it.

Man was man from the beginning and monkey and ape were animals since then too. No evolution could change that.

Compare cats to dogs. The egyptians portray cats as being very historical, important and mystical. Did cats evolve from uh let's say catfish? After all the theory is about the ocean now.

Facts are of no use to some people. Inconvenient ones are merely kicked aside or ignored, and she carries on, on her way.

It's really rather sad and disturbing.

Damn you religion!

Damn you to hell!

Saw a hurricane outside my window, not pleasant, no power for over a week with two kids, yippey! But we were safe, that's all that matters. As for blizzards, I live in Canada, so yeah, been there, done that.

This type of water canopy of ice crystals and vapor would have been able to shield the earth from harmful solar x-rays and provide a greenhouse environment ideal for maximum plant and animal growth. It has deteriorated in time due to all the pollution we have today. Our ozone layer would have been different. As time goes by, it gets weaker as more and more "diseases" attack it.

Anyway back then temperature variations between the equator and the poles would vary by only forty or fifty degrees.

The Bible indicates that there was no rain before the flood.....but...."there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."

In this kind of climate, the plant and animal life would definitely flourish, (the greenhouse effect) so much so that when the flood of Noah came, great deposits of flesh and fiber were compressed and converted to huge oil reservoirs and layers of coal hundreds of feet thick.

This explains the climate back then in Bible history.

What I am wondering is this--why are you asking questions here if you seem to have all the answers? It reminds me of the front of the Watchtower magazine-Was there really an earthwide flood? etc. ................you really don't seem to be asking questions to gain information............

I once experienced a small earthquake while on a holiday in Greece, it only lasted for five seconds but was quite frightening, the fact that it came without any warning, the shaking and the rumbling sound coming out of the ground. I later heard we were only a couple of miles away from the epicentre.

AK: Well hello Hibiscusfire. How is DEFD these days? I was wondering what some other poster asked, and you have not yet addressed [that I have seen]. What is your perspective? Are you former Jw? I know you are Christian, but just curious about your background. Kinda like trying to understand the perspective of any writer I suppose.
Jeff

Ouch! You made me hit my knee...it felt like a funny bone!!!!! owwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I don't know how DEFD is. Ohhhhhhh, I remember you skwenk!

Anyways I answered that question over and over and over again. I am not a former JW and I never was one. I know some JW people though. We used to have a lot WT magazines. Because they used to come and talk to us at home. The magazines were pretty so ofcourse I was interested. But the content wasn't bad until I realised they crazy things that was being said. I grew up reading a lot of other books too. I was and is always surrounded by Hindus, Muslims, Catholics every and all the religions you can think about. However, there was nothing better than the bible (KJV or New King James version) for me and all the interesting facts in it. Those have been very inspiring, comforting and gives hope as you read it. It even makes me laugh and cry. All the books based on the contents of the Bible I like to read. I am a believer in Christ. I am not perfect....I know that. Who is perfect? Only Jesus Christ.

As I mentioned somewhere, I loved as a child Hans Christian Anderson fairytales, and other cool books, etc but hey I know the difference between fiction and truth. We learnt to distinguish between what is real and what is not.

Oh and of course I know better than to say I evolved from King Kong.

By the way, I think the "ask me any question" thing is getting to ya.
