If you can afford this I can`t recomend it enough. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201547309/qid=1013002856/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_66_1/103-7102899-7098227

Wasn't the rest of the Universe created at the same time as this
according to Genesis?

I think what they are trying to do is postulate that the universe was created 6,000 years ago as measured by a clock on earth.They then claim that the earth was seperated from the rest of the universe by an event horizon (presumeably the result of sitting in the gravitational field of an extremely massive body) Then under general relativity the rest of the universe would age faster than the earth giving them a 6,000 year old earth and a universe with an age of the order of 10`s of billions....Which is an interesting exercise in mathmatics but lacks any proof whatsoever.

Since Humphreys is clearly not talking about a white hole, well at least any white hole theorized by physics, perhaps a new name should be created for it. While I find white hole thingy quite descriptive, perhaps we could have a white hole thingy naming contest?
Any ideas?

Well if physicists have a sense of humour you could say it would be the butt of a lot of jokes so butt hole...Or you could argue that he postulated it for the glory of God so glory hole.Ah the possibilities....

And then there is the fact that the whole theory is *A Rather Silly Empty* theory (I think you can guess the acronym that would precede the hole)...

More like a full blown realization by JP that he was in for an ass whoopin and a nagging concern over Humphrys sanity from the others....

Given that he posted this earlier I doubt he is going to debate the validity of this theory with you:"okay i finally read all of this thread and i guess im coming to the conclusion that all of this is purely theoretical. I also think we should cut off humphreys hands and sew his mouth shut so no one will ever hear of his "crazy talk" ever again. its pretty bad when the people hes trying to support think hes a moron."-KPWhile I don`t agree with the proposed mutilation his opinion of Humphrys theory is pretty clear.....
