Might have split Australia off Gondwanaland. Serious stuff. AND right at the Permian extinction event, too. Discovered using satellite imaging, I notice, so Paley's Zombie will claim it's a fake... And the DI will say they've discovered the location of Gomorrah.

Have to be impressed by a situation where a meteor possibly triggered a monster volcano and possibly also sped up continental spreading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps (But of course, the Earth is only 5,000 years old and plate tectonics is a secular lie, so none of this is true. :-)) -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus

Now I wonder how it will fit in the model of a massive globlal warming caused by an increase of atmospheric CO2 and methane released from the ocean, which is the hypothesis for the permian exctinction (at least, in the documentary I watched). AFAIK, the meteor impact that killed dinosaurs have generated some sort of glaciation. EDIT: Apparently, the global warming was just a hypothesis among others.

It does make you wonder just how does afdave deal with all the science out there that necessarily incorporates an ancient earth in its assumptions -- plate tectonics, global warming and artic ice cores, these meteor craters, ... does his brain just filter all that stuff out?

Davey is one sick dude. -------------- "And the sea will grant each man new hope..." -CC
