I'm still trying to figure out what a squared celsius is, other than rubbish, of course.

This was my favorite quote.

It seems unlikely that waste could have been disposed of in the first 40 days, since unprecedented volumes of rainwater were falling and the windows in the Ark probably could not have been opened, though that is not a certainty. But remember that these were not as backwards a people as we have sometimes supposed. A lot could have been done in odor control with lime and other chemicals.

Yeah, no ventilation for 40 days. I'm sure they didn't all suffocate or anything. Also, wasn't there only one 18" window in the ark, not "windows?"

Default what about this one

Why Are True North and Magnetic North Different?

There are Bible believing scientists who think that the mantel slipped on the core during the Genesis Flood. Definitive statements are impossible, however, due to the uncertain nature of information and understanding of the mantel
JM: Forgiving the spelling mistake (mantel) for a moment, you might want to point out that the magnetic field originates in the core. Deviations of true and magnetic north arise from non-dipole (higher harmonics) of the main field. On average; however, true north and magnetic north are equivalent (when averaged over 5000-10000 year intervals).

Erm, if you say so... but all the figures I was using were Celsius anyway, not Kelvin... as I was comparing like with like, how does the 273 come into it? Doesn’t a degree-C, squared (for whatever reason ), give another degree-C figure?

Sorry if that reveals some massive infirmity in my grasp of maths! I kinda hope it does, cos I like your figure better!

Well what happens when you square negative or zero degrees Celsius?

I’m mildly -- only mildly: it’s hardly much of a surprise given the standard of the rest -- curious as to why any large number would be listed as ‘squared’. I wonder if the bozo read somewhere that the core temp is 25 x 10^2... and got it very wrapped round his ear’ole, as he’s done with everything else. (Though even that’s an odd way of doing it! But unless he did just pull the figure out of his arse, there ought to be a mangled factoid in there.) Might the core temp be plain 2500C (can’t be bothered to look it up )?
