Too Many Meteor Strikes in 6k Years

This is an artists rendition of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. It is to scale.Make your own conclusions.EDIT: Another nice visual aid: I just don't think Faith has an idea of the scale of these things. A usefull accompanying article: http://robots.cnn.com/TECH/space/9803/12/collision/I think you get the picture now. This is what we are talking about in this thread.This message has been edited by Yaro, 05-27-2005 08:45 AM

Did you look at the pics?EvC Forum: Too Many Meteor Strikes in 6k YearsThere have been at least 2 asteroid impacts of the magnitude portraid in those images durring earths long history. If, as you suggest, they happend durring Noahs time, don't you think he would have noticed?Look at the size of the objects in question, and then respond.

Very good point! Faith, you do realize that heat dosn't just 'disapere', it has to go somewhere?The reason water cools things is because it is a good conductor of heat. The water 'absorbs' the heat and then passes it on to the air and so on.So, if a comet of the magnitude in question hit the earth, all the water present on the ENTIRE earth would not be enugh to cool things down sufficiently in the time required.

So essentialy you agree that everyone on this thread has posed an accurate, solid, case that defeats yours. However, you refuse to except our position, and still cling to your defeated position?I tell you the sky is blue, you say it's green, we go outside and I show you the sky. You say: "yep, you were right, it's blue. However I still say it's green, because I would like it to be so."Huh?This message has been edited by Yaro, 05-27-2005 02:27 PM

It was a link refrencing bak to post 240 where I showed you those neat pictures of meteors. They are artists visualizations based on the data. These images are comissiond by NASA, and show the collisions to scale.What do you think of those?At least 2 comets that large have definetly hit the earth in our past. How could Noah survive somethin that big?

There is evidence for such a hit, that's how we know it happend. It's not hypothesis, because there is a freakin gigantic crater over in the Ycatan peninsula that just didn't come from nowhere.And if you are trying to say that these comets/meteors/etc. hit in one year during the time of noah, your gonna have to explain how objects as large as the ones depicted, somehow failed to wipe out Noah. Ufortunetly, I just don't think you can be let off that easy.Faith, one last question:Do you think it is possible for your possition to be wrong? I mean, could you possibly be wrong?This message has been edited by Yaro, 05-27-2005 03:02 PM

Right, just as I thought, you belive you can't be proven wrong. Man, it must be nice to arbitreraly choose your own reality. I think I'll start pretending there is no sun!
