That was good.

BTW- I'd like to comment that I find this board especially helpful and believe it or not more tolerant then certain Christian boards.

I say 'believe it or not' because Christians are 'supposed' to follow Jesus, who was supposed to be a very tolerant man...It's almost ironic that the die-hard fundamentalists sometimes don't resemble this aspect of Jesus what-so-ever....

Here is a good one for the YECs. Take a look at Ganymede:

Sulphur,
I only caught part of the documentary, however I'll search for the scientist who performed the research.

He first mapped all the trees still existing along with the direction they had fallen.

He then constructed an actual topigraphical scale model of the site, and performed various experiments to determine what probably caused the blast pattern observed among the trees.

I can't give specifics (yet) on the exact experiment, but he determined the trajectory, speed, and explosion altitude of a meteor that would have produced the exact same tree patterns we observe today. He also successfully located the exact epicenter of the blast.

I'll dig and try to find more details..I found it VERY interesting. When I can provide proper references, you can counter your 'friends' argument that no significant meteor/meteorite events have occured during recent times.

Cricket,,, the same trend is occuring at Christian Forums...

They have this new weapon... 'The Jesus Club'. If you disagree with certain members... they whomp the shit outta you with it...

If you bite back, like I did... you get your ass canned...lol

But to be far, there are some very decent people there as well...

BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... you're kidding right?

God and Satan launching meteors/comets/asteroids at each other....

boy this is rich...

If this is true... can you post it please... I need a good gutt busting laugh...

Thanks~

Yes Meatros,
Why I take up residence here now...
But, technically I'm not Christian...

I did notice you were a new member of CF. I spent a year there before they canned my ass for daring question the die-hard fundamentalist who apparantly suffer God complexes...

Do me a favor? Tell the Smilin said: Howdy.. and ask if they need refills on there medications... k?

Asha'man... or anyone else that can help..

Has the exact meteorite strike that obliterated the dinosaurs been determined? If so,,, where did it impact? I'd like to get some pictures of the impact site from space.

Thanks~

Yes, there is strong evidence linking a particular crater -- the Chicxulub crater on the Yucatan peninsula-- to the extinction of the dinosaurs. You can not see the crater itself from space, since it is buried by about half a kilometer of post-Creteacous marine sediments. However, there are gravimetric images showing the subsurface crater form, as well as boreholes that penetrate the overlying sediments and the crater itself. For the gravity images, see: Gravity measurements over the Chicxulub crater

thanks PS418,

I remember a documentary on that particular crater, but didn't pay enough attention.

Thanks for the link...VERY interesting reading.

If I'm correct, wasn't it NOVA that did a special on this particular meteor strike, and the possible scenario on the Earth from the aftermath?
