Quake update:

there were THREE in quick succession. All in the same area near the Solomons. Ranging from 7.1 to 7.8 on the Richter scale. Big mothers!

But anyone swept out to sea is not going to walk back.

Now, OTOH, if they had a boat.......
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

You can see it, no one else can. Even with your suggested sea levels there is still no signs of your land bridges.
And petrologists claim there have been none within the life time of homo.
The ball is still in your court to supply the evidence, not require acts of faith.

Yep1 And still no signs of any land bridges bobbing up from the sea bed!

You wouldn't know it if bit you in the arse, Roy: that sort of movement usually takes (tens of) thousands of years. Waaay too slow for (your) personal observation.

OTOH: sometimes it's fast too! Like in 1963 when the whole world witnessed an island "bobbing up from the sea bed" in a few weeks. I remember it well. You could see it grow every day on the nine o'clock news. I guess you would have had to be around. And some people have convenient short memories.

Yeah. Well I'd better protect myself then.
The island was called Surtsey BTW.
And there's still no sign of any land bridges regardless of speed, any land bridge would leave signs on the land it joined, show me some!

Roy, you're the quintessential doubting Thomas. But that's OK too.

Agreed! And you seem to be attempting to start a new religion.

Just as a matter of clarification,

The 2 brick procedure is for castration, not circumcision.

Oh, á propos wade-walking, Roy:
there was a very amusing episode of Top Gear tonight where an Alfa Romeo 159 raced a man to the other side of the river Humber right next to the Humber Bridge, at low tide. A distance of one and a half miles of mud and strong currents. Neither was allowed to use the Humber Bridge. So the man had to wade-walk, and the Alfa Romeo 159 had to take a detour of 65 miles via the next bridge.
The man won...
