An international team of researchers has found the strongest evidence yet that parts of North America and Antarctica were connected 1.1 billion years ago, long before the supercontinent Pangaea formed.

Damnit! They need to be looking for Jesus Ponies.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Mind boggling fact of the day: Pangea was only the latest of 5, 6, 7? estimated "supercontinents" (if we leave out Gondwana and that other one). That means that the Earths "continents" have amassed together, split up, travelled at a speed of milimeters a year until they finally crashed back into each other on the other side of the globe, compressed, split up, and repeated the process 4,5,6, times before Pangea.

Too subtle?

What I'm saying is some fundies believe that all the "old Earth" evidence was planted to test their faith.

One of my favorite shirts to wear around the Bible Belt, where I now live:

And, get this... Many Fundies aplaud my shirt, thinking I'm a supporter of nonsense.

Guess you haven't payed attention, brutha... From my profile:

In reply to:

UPDATE -- I have recently hired on fulltime at Brunswick Nuclear Plant in Southport, North Carolina... Thus I have moved from the LBC to a small beach community on the Atlantic...

That's almost 4 years old, and I've often described the Fundies where I now live, and having to get involved with the county schools and the board, as they wish to teach ~~intelligent design~~ creationism, and ban Harry Potter books in the county. Wink
