One should consider that with global warming, more evaporation occurs off the oceans, to form more clouds, which cool the atmosphere back down, a buffer system. Yes and no. More evapouration does lead to more clouds. Some of which reflect solar energy back out into space, thus aiding cooling But ot...

You're not the only one to have theorised that GV
Other's claim it was the Atlanteans..... Or maybe it was the British?

It's not something I've ever looked into enough to have any firm opinion on.

Your problem, oas, is that you're incapable of demonstrating any flaw in the historical account of the Bible, keep trying though, knock yourself out. Have you read any of his posts? He and I have pointed out a very fundamental flaw: the lack of any collaborative evidence :roll: Some of us adopt a m...

Hmmm, is it not possible that both the Judaic Abraham and the Hindu Brahma are based on a similar, much earlier story? As far as the original linked article goes:- About 1900 BC, the cult of Brahm was carried to the Middle and Near East by several different Indian groups after a severe rainfall and ...

If you were to read Caesar's commentaries on the Wars in Gaul you would find that he never lost a battle or made a mistake. He did both. Good analogy :) Now, in the case of the Exodus we have a story of a large group of people living in Egypt who, as one, up and leave for Canaan. They spend 40 year...

So, the Old Kingdom did collapse from drought, but the article says there was a mini Ice Age then, which is ridiculous, because the greater cloud-cover (and thereby precipitation) from an Ice Age would have caused more rain in the middle latitudes, so, in reality, the Ice Age ended when Egypt dried...

Well, they do say our distant ancestors came down from the trees becauise of climate change. And we started forming cities because of climate change. The Roman Empire rose in a period of warmer climate, and collapsed when a cold period set in. When the warmth returned we had the Rennaisance. The Lit...

The why has the sea level not risen since at least 1500 B.C.? Once the main ice sheet had melted there was no further significant change in sea levels. Though of course small changes are always underway - sea levels fell during the Little Ice Age as more water was locked up in arctic ice and in gla...

Thickened brow-ridges does not make a monkey-man, haven't you seen people running around with thickened brow-ridges? No. Not as per neanderthal skulls. Besides, who calls them 'monkey-man' ? They were no more monkeys than you or I. And whilst I undertand some scientists have suggested interbreeding...

Then why is it that nobody (except you) seems to be saying that much of the end of the Ice Age occurred around 3000 B.C.? (Watch it, you're beginning to agree with my timeline.) Not at all - if the sea levels had been rising for 10,000 years prior to that time then it means the ice must have been m...

Explain to me again why neanderthal bone structure is so different from modern man's ;) All neanderthal skulls display the same raised eyebrow ridges - a feature not found in modern man. Were they all suffering form the same gentic disease, one which no longer affects us? I'm surprised actually that...
