qOW, HOW INTERESTING. i'VE BEEN WATCHING, OR MORE ACCURATELY, LISTENING TO A VIDEO ABOUT THE SNOWBALL EARTH AND THE SCIENTIST WHO HAS BEEN STUDYING IT, AND HE THINKS HE HAS PROVEN THAT THE GLACIERS DID AT ONE TIME COVER THE AREA OF THE EQATOR, TURNING THE WHOLE PLANET INTO A SNOWBALL AS IT EWERE.
tTHEN THEY ASK THE QUESTION WHAT CAUSED IT, AND IN MY HEAD i'M GIVING MY ANSWER AS i WROTE IT OUT IN THE LAST POST, WELL, THE fLOOD DID, AS IT DENUDED THE ATMOSPHERE OF ITS MOISTURE CANOPOY AND EXPOSED THE PLANET TO COLD SPACE, CAUSING THE GREAT HEAT BUILT UP BY THE GREAT UPHEAVAL i ALSO PUT ABOUT THAT SAME TIME, OR THE SPLITTING OF THE CONTINENTS AS THE TECTONIC PLATES STARTED PULLING APARET. GREAT HEAT SUDDENLY EVACULAATED WOULD BRING ON AN ICE AGE. i FIGURE gOD LED ME TO THIS UNDERSTANDING.
wELL, OF COURSE THIS SCIENTIST DOESN'T HAVE THE WORLDWIDE fLOOD IN HIS SCHOLARLY ARMAMENTARIUM, BUT HE DOES COME UP WITH SOMETHIG QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT i CAME UP WITH. hE TALKS ABOUT ABOUT THE GREENHOUSE GASES THTA IN THE RIGHT PROPORTION KEEP THE PLANETE'S CLIMATE TEMPERATE BUT CAUSING WARMING IF THERE ARE TOO \\\\\\ IF THE GASES ARE TOO MUCH, ND COLLING IF TOO LITTLE. hE SPECIFICALLY TALKS ABOUT cARBON dIOXIDE, i DON'T KNOW WHY HE FOCUSES ON THAT ONE BUT ANYWAY THAT'S THE ONE HE FOCUSES ON. i'M SURE HE MUST BE RIGHT WHILE i JUST THINK IN TERMS OF GASES PLURAL AND MOISTURE CANOPY FOR THE EARLIEST SUCH CANOPY AS THEY CALL IT IN THE CREATIONIST LITERATURE.
aNYWAY SO HE FIGURES THAT FOR SOME REASO THERE WAS A DROP IN THE AMOUNT OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE ATOSPHERE AS THE AUSE OF THE SNOWBALL EARTH ICE AGE. gOD TURNED ME INTO A REAL SCIENTIST i THINK WHE hE LET ME UNDERSTAND HOW THE GASES WOULCD HAVE DISAPPEARED AS A RESULT OF THE fLOOD AND ALLOWED SUCH COOLING.
HIS SCIENTIST, HOWEVER, SORRY i HAVEN'T CAUGHT HIS NAME YET, i'LL TRY TO GET IT, ANYWAY HE EXPLAINS THE REDUCTION IN CARBON DIXIDE AS THE RESTL T OF EWEATHERING, THE COMBINING OF CARBON DIOXIDE WITH WATER VAOR TO FORM ACIDE RAIN WHICH BINDS THE co TWO IN SOME FORM THAT TAKES IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, THAT PART i HAVE TO GO BACK AND REVIEW. iN THE SEA IT FORMS LIMESTONE, THAT OO IS INTERESTING. THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF LIMESTONE IN THOSE STRATA.
NALLY WAS ABLE TO MAKE OUT THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO: a sNOWBALL eRTH: hOW THE iCE aGE nEARLY wIPED oUT aLL lIFE / cATASTROPHE.
tOO MANY SCIENTISTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE STORY AT THES POINT SO i DON'T HAVE HAT NAME BUT THE TITLE OUTHGT TO HELP.
S STUFF IS INTERSETING BECAUAE i ALWAYS THINK IN TERMS OF THE BIBLCIAL EXPLANATION AND TRY TO FIT IN WHAT SCIENTISTS KNOW WITH THE BIBLICAL RECORD. tHREE ARE ALWAYS SOME ELEMENTS IN THE SCIENTIFIC PICTURE THAT FIT AND SOME THAT DON'T FIT. iN THIS CASE THERE WESEEM TO BE AMANY ELEMENTS THAT WFIT WITH TEH WORLDWIDE fLOOD AND A FOLLOWING ICE AGE AS i'VE BEEN RECONSTRUCTING IT INN MY HEAD. aND BY THE WAY, AS FAR AS i KNOW i'M THE ON;LY ONE WHO HAS THOUGTH IN TERMS OF WHAT BROUGHT ON THE ICE AGE, i THINK gOD SHOWED IT TO ME AND i DON'T THINK EHTHERE ARE ANYC REATIONISTS OTHERWISE WHO HAVE MADE THE CONNECTION. YES i WANT CREDIT AS \\FOR WHAT i DO ACCOMPLSIH HERE, i KNOW NOBODY WELL KNO i DON'T KNOW THAT BUT i FIGURE NOBODY IS EVER GOING TO NOTICE ME AND i'LL NEVER GET CREDIT FOR ANYWAYRTHING AND i DON'T WANT THE CREDIT AS MUCH AS i JJUST DON'T WANT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET IT WHO DOES'T SDESERVE IT. i'M HAPPY ANONYMOUS AND i NOW IT'S GOD WHO GETS ALL THE CREDIT ANYWAY. bUT YES IT DOES BOTHER ME THAT i KEEP PUTTING OUT MY THOUGHTS IN THIS PUBLIC WAY AND ANYONE COULD JUST STEAL THEM. i WULD HOPE THAT cHRISTAINS WOULN'T BUT i'VE ALREADY SEEN SOME OF MY STUFF TAKEN UP BY cHRISTAINS.
aNSWAY, IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS BEEN ACCUMULATED ABOUT THE EARTH DOS FIT INTO THE BIBLICAL PICTURE IN THE END. iF IT WERE EVER RECOGNIZED THAT THE BIBLICAL STORY IS TRUE AND EVOLUTION A BIG FARCE THEN THAT'S WHERE THE SCIENTIFIC WORK WOULD WGO, TO UNDERSTANDING THE ARTH BEFORE , DURING AND AFTER TEH fALL AND THE FLOOD.
aLTHUGH THIS SCIENTIST DOES THINK HE'S SHOW TN THT THE GLACIERS DID ONCE COVER THE EQUATOR, APPARENTLY IT HASN'T BEEN DFINITIVELY PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN THE CASE. bUT THE DEATH OF ALL LIVING THINGS OR MOST OF THEM DOES FIT IN WELL WITH THE fLOOD STORY OF COURSE, SINCE IT WS THE WHOLE POINT OF THAT CATASTROHE TO KILL OFF ALL LAND LIFE, AND MOST OF SEA LIFE S WELL. tHAT'S WHAT ALL THOSE FOSSILS ARE IN THE SO CALLED FOSSIL RECORD, AND THEY SHOULD BE A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION AOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIFE ON THE PLANET BEFORE THE fLOOD IF SCIENCE EVER GOT SANE AND REOCGNIZED THT'S WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
gING BACK TO THE VIDEO NOW i'M WONDERING ABOUT THE TITLE SINCE SUPPOSEDLY THIS SNOWBALL EARTH OCCURRED SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION YEARS AGO BEFORE EVOLUTION BEGAN AND THERE WS ONLY CYANOBACTREIA LIVING ON THE PLANET. iS THAT WHAT THEYARE TALKINGA BOTU?
tHEY ALSO GIVE OTHER REASONS FOR THE COMING ON OF SUCH A CATASTROPHIC ICE AGE HAVING TO DO WITH THE REFLECTIVE PROTERTIES OF ICE AND WATER AND OTHER SUCH THINGS. BUT IT STILL SEEMS THAT THE MOST BASIC REASON HAS TO HVE BEEN THE COLLAPSE OF THE GREENHOUSE CGAS CANOPY AS IT WERE AS BACK THEREN IT IS DECRIBE IN SCRIPTURE AT LEAST IN TERMS OF A WATER OR MOISTURE LADEN BELT AROUND THE PLANET WHICHN WOULD HAVE DONE WHAT GREENHOUSE GASEES TO, KEEPING IN WARMTH AND SO ON. sO THAT WHHEN IT COLAPSED INTO THE HEAVY RAIN THATHAT BROUGHT ON THE FLOOD IT WOULD ALLOW HET TO ESCAPE AND AN ICE AGE WOULD HAVE EEN THE RESULT. jUST ONE, THOUGH, ALL THT TIME AND MULTIPLE EVENTS EVOLUTIONJARY SCIENCE COEMS UP WITH HAS TO GO IF THEY WNAT TO TFIND OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON THIS PLANET.
iHAVE TO PICTURE nOAYH AND FAMILY NOW HAVING TO BUNDLE UP TO KEEP WARM AFTER TEHY DISEMBARKED FROM THEIR YEAR LONG SHELTER RIDING ON THE OCEASN. i DO WONDER HOW LONG THE WORST OF IT WOULD HAVE LASTED. aLL THOAT COULD BE SCTUDIED SCIENTIFICALLY TOO i'M SURE. NOT MUCH IS SAID IN SCRIPTURE ABOUT THE IMMEDIATE PERIOD AFTER THE fLOOD. NOAH IS TOLD TO START EATING MEAT WHEREAS BEFORE THE PREDOMINANT DIET FOR ALL LIVING THINGS WAS PLANET LIFE, AND hE GAVE THEM THE RAINBOW AS A PROMISE THAT HE WOULD NOT fLOOD THE EARTH AGAIN. THEN WE SEE THE FAMILIES OF HIS NSONS SPREADING OUT IN TH EARTH AND THEN WE JUMP AHEAD A FEW HNDRED HYEARS AT BEGIN THE STORY OF aGBRAHAM. sO IF THERE WAS A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE IN THE mIDDLE EAST DURING THAT PERIOD IT ISN'T MENTIONED.\\\
i KEEP CONTINUING TO LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO ABOUT THE SNOWBALL EARTH. iT GOT BORING IN THE PART ABOUT THE CYANOBACTERIA BUT NOW IT'S INTERESTING AGAIN, ALL ABOUT VOLCANOES. hERE'S MY SCENARIO AGAIN: aFTER THE fLOOD OR TWOARD THE END OF IT, i REALLY DON'T KNOW THE TIMING BUT IT COULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE DRAINING OF THE fLOOD OR IT COULD HAVE OCCURRED IN STAGES,B UTBUT IN ANY EVEN ALL THESE THINGS HD TO HAVE EEN RELATED AND RELATED TO THE END OF THE fLOOD. THE TECTONIC PLATES SPLIT APART, THE aTLANTIC RIDGE WAS FORMED, MAGMA RISING UP FROM BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR IN THAT LONG RIBBON WE SEE TACED ON SOME MAPS AS IT WIDENED THE SEA FLOOR AND THE CONTINENTS SLID APART FROM THAT RIDGE. THAT SPLITTING APART WAS OF COURESE ONE HUGE CATASTROPHIC VENT AND i EXPLAIN ALL THE ANGULAR UNCONFORMITIES AND IN FACT ALL THE UNCONFORMITIES AND THE BREKAING UP OF THE STRATA WHEREVER WE SEE IT AND THE RISING OF THE MOUNTAINS EVERYWHERE, TO THAT EVENT, SOME TAKING TIME TO GET NDERWAY BUT ALL TRIGGERED AT THAT SAME MOMENT. tHE fLOOD NEEDED SOMETHING TO CAUSE IT TO DRAIN. wHERE WAS IT GOING TO GO? sOME THINGK THE SEA FLOOR DROPPED. pERHAPS IT DID. pEHRPAS THE FLOUNDTAINS OF THE DEP THAT WERE THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WHEN THE fLOOD BEAGAN CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA FLOOR LEAVING A VACCUUM THAT WAS THEN THE SPACE THE SWATER WOULD DRAIN BACK INTO BUT THE SEA FLOOR WOULD HAV ETO DROP FOT HAT TO HAPPEN.> tHAT WOULD CERTAIN FIT WITH THE TECTONIC SPLITTING.
aND THEN OF COURSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN VOLCANOES, THOUSANDS OF THEM AS THE CONTININETS STARTED MOVEING AND TRIGGERING THEM, AS THAT MOVEMETN STILL DOW ON THE WEST COAST OF nORTH AN sOUTH aMERICA. tHE MOVEMETN NOW IS EXTREMELY SLOW BUT IT BUILD S UP PRESSURE THAT EVENTUALLY GIVES MAY TO A BIG EARTHQUAKE AND THE ERUPTION OF VOLCANEOES AND SO ON. wELL, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CONTINENTS EGEGAN TO DRIFT APART, WELL PRETTY FAST AT FIRST BUT LATER MORE LIKE DRIFINTING, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT O VIOLENT ACTIVITY GOING ON. sINCW THE ONLY LIVING THINGS WERE THE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS ON THE ARK AND EVERYTHINGELSE WAS SUPPOED TO DIE ANYWAY WE CAN SAY THERE WAS NO THREAT TO LIFE IN THE SENSE THAT IT WOULD REPOPULATE OVER TIME. sOME SEA LIFE CONTINUED TO LIVE BUT MOST OF THAT DIED OFF TOO.
aNYWAY THERE WULD HAVE BEEN ALL THESE VOLCANOES TRIGGERED BY THE TECTONIC MOVEMETN AND IT'S INTEREST THEN TO HEAR ABOUT ALL THAT VOLCANOIC ACTIVITY BEING PART OF THE PICTURE AS THESE SCIENTISTS DISCUSS IT IN THIS VIDEO ABOUT THE SNOWBALL EAERTH. tHE IDEA IS THAT THE VOLCANOES SAVED THE DAY AND CAUSED THE ICE TO RETREAT. sUPPOSEDLY THE ICE REMAINS FOR SOME TWETNY FIVE MILLION YEARS IF i RECALL CORRECTLY AND THEN THEE VOLCANOES ERUPTED. wELL, i ONT' PAY MUCH ATTENTION TOH TO THE TIMETIMING FANTASIES OF THE SCIENTIEST. yES i APPRECIATE SCIENCE WHEN IT DEALS WITH THINGS IT CAN REALLY SEE AND STUDY BUT TIME ISN'T ONE OF THEM. aNYWAY. iN MY SCENARIO ALL THIS WAS HAPPEING PRETTY MUCH AT THE SAME TIME. THE ERATH STARTED SPLITTING, THE CONTINENTS STARTED MOVING THE VOLCANOES STARTED BLOWING UP AND SO ON. a LOT OF HEAT WAS BEING VGENERATED DURING ALL THAT ACTIVITY AND MOST OF IT EXITED INTO SPAC3E. tHAT'S WHAT BROUGH T ON THE ICE AGE WHETHER TO THE SNOWBALL DEGREE OR NOT, AND ONLY ONE OF THEM. IT DOES MAKE SENSE THAT OFVER TIME THE VOLCANOES COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE WARMING THAT CAUSED IT TO RETREAT PERHAPS MORE RAPIDILY THTN IT WOULD HVE. THERE WERE BOTH WRMING AND COOLING EFFECTS GOING ON. iN THE END THERE WERE GLACIERS EXTENDING PRETTY FAR FROM THE POLES BUT RETREATING OVER THE MILENNIA BIT BY BIT. vOLCANOES WOULD HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS AT FIRST BUT SLOWING DOWN SO THAT WE SEE ONLY ONE OR TWO NOW AND THEN TOGEDAY. THE CONTINENTS ARE STILL DRIFINT APART BUT AT A MINUSCULE RATE. THE "GREENOUSE GASES" HAVE BEEN RECONSTITUTED, PERHAPS MORE THAN WE WANT.
tHE SNOALL VIDO GOES ON NOW INTO THE IDEA THAT THE RESULT OF ALL THIS IN THE END WAS THE GRETA EXPLOSINON O LIFE ON EARTH AS IT PROVIDED THE CONDITIONS FOR LIFE TO EVOLVE FROM THOSE EARLY BACTGERIA INTO MORE COMPLEX FORMS. oF COURFSE THIS IS ALL POPPUYCOCK AND EVOLUTION IS GENETICALLY IMPOSSIBLE BUT IT'S INTEREST ING TO THINGK ABOUT THE CHEMICAL CHANGES THEY THINK THEY CAN DETECT AND HOW IT ALL MIGHT RELATE TO THE fLOOD PERIOD. nOT THAT i HVE ANU IDEAS AT THE MOMETN.
tHE NATURE OF dna , OR EREALLY THENATURE OF THE GENOME OF A SPECIES, IS THAT ALL VARIATION IS VOCONFINED TO THAT GENOME. aS i KEEP SAYING. oH THEY DON'T THINK TOS, THEY ALL CARRY ON AS IF IT'S ALL OVOPENENDED YOU CAN JUMP FROM ONE GENOME TO ANOTHER SUCH AS READILY AS YOU CAN GET A BLUE EYED CHILD DRFROM BREOWN IEYED PARENTS. THEY JUST AROUDN'T THINKING THESE VERY HIGH iw SCIENTIESTS. tHEY JUST AREN'T THINKING. hOW DO YOU GET OUTSIDE THE GENOME? THEY DON'T EVEN REALLY ADDRESS THE UESTION, THEY JUST TGO ON AND ON AS IF THE FACT THAT THERE IS ANY CHANGE AT ALL MEANS THAT CHANGE IS GOING TO GO ON AND ON UNTIL ALL THE SPECIES ON EARTH HAVE COME FROM A SIGLE CELLED CREATURE. tHIS IS ABOLUTE SCREAMING POPPYCOCK BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE.
ySTER DAY i THINK IT WAS i SAW ANOTHER VIDEO IN WHICH dARWIN'S GREAT GRANDSON INTERVIEWS ANE EXPERT IN PIGEON BREEDEDING, WHICH OF COURSE WAS A FAVORITE PASTIME OF dARWIN'S, AND THEY TALK ABOUT HOW IT WAS dARWIN'S IDEA THAT SINCE HE COULD GET ALL THESE WONDERFUL VARIATIONS IN PIGEONS FROM SIMLY SELECTING TRAITS TO BE REPRODUCED OVER AND OVER ATGAIN THAT THE SAME THING MUST BE WHAT HAPPENS IN NATURE AND PRODUCED ALL THE CREATURES WE SEE.
bUT REALLY, MY DEARS, BREEDING PIGEONS IS A MATTER OF BRINGING OUT WHAT IS ALREADY IN THEIR PIGEON GENOME. yOU CAN'T GET THE ELABORATION OF A TRAIT UNLESS THAT TRAIT IS THERE IN THE GENOME AD IN THE CREATURE ITSELF IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE HUMAN BEING TO SELECT IT. aLL THE TRAITS THAT ARE GOING TO SHOW UP ARE PIGEON TRAITS. THE WHOLE PIGEON GENOME HAPPENS TO HAVE GEENNES FOR GUISESS WHAT, PIGEON TRAITS. sURFE ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING AND DRAMATIC POSSIBILITIES THAT YOU'D NEVER ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR TYPICAL PIGEON BUT STILL POSSIBILITIES WITHIN THE PIGEO THAT DO COME OUT UNDER SELECTION PRESSURE. fANCY FEATERING, EXSPANDED CROPS AND CHESTS WNANDWHATNOT, WHATEVER PIGEON CHARACTERIISTIC YOU WANT TO ELABORATE YOU CAN ELABORATE UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. bUT ALWAYS PIGEON AND ONLY PIGEON CHAARACTERISTICS.
i WISH MY FINGERS WOULDN'T KEEP TRYING TO TYPE SOMETHIHNG OTHER THAN i WANT THEM TO TYPE.
bUT THEY TALK AS IF THEY AREN'T CONFINED TO THE PIGEON GENOME. dAWKINS TALKS THT WAY TOO. dARWIN DID OF COURSE AND i GUESS WE CAN GIVE HIM A BREAK CONSIDERING THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT GENETICS IN HIS DAY, BUT dAWKINS SHOULD KNOW BETTER, AND cOYNE AND ALL THE REST OF THEM.
sLO THERE IS THIS FACT THAT OVER MANY GENERATIONS OF REPRODING ONE TRAIT TO THE EXLUCION OF THE ALTERNATIVE ALLELE, THAT OTHER ALLELE WILL EVENTUALLY DROP OUT OF THE POPULATION ALTOGETHER AND LEAVE ONLY THE ONE FOR THE TRAIT, IN HOMNOZYGOUS FORM, TWO OF THE SAME ALLELE ON THE ONE GENE FOR LOTS OF TRAITS THAT MAKE UP THE NEW BREED OR RACE OF WHATEVER HAS COME BACK THROUGH SELECTION DOMESTIC OR NAUTRAL. wHEN YOU GET HOMOZYGOSITY FOR SO MANY TRAITS AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE IN A WHOLE POPULATOIN YOU HAVE COME TO THE END OF THE POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER CHANGE, FURTHER EVOLUTION AS IT WERE, VFURTHER VARIATION. yOU HAVE YOUR PUREBRED TAIT, YOUR PUREBRED ANIMAL. aND THAT IS THE END OF THAT. iT'S COME TO AN END INSIDE THE SPECIES GENOME AS IT WERE. yOU NEVER GOT ANYWEHRE NEAR LEAVING THE GENOME AND YOU'VE ALREADY RUN OUT OF GENETIC MATERIAL FOR FURTHER EVOLUTION AS IT WERE.
eVLTION CAN'T HAPPEN mR. dAWKINS, mR. cOYNE. nO, IT ISN'T TGRUE, mR. cOYNE. yOU ARE LIMITED TO THE CREATURE'S GENOME. aND yES EVEN IF YOU ADD MUTATIONINTO THE MIX BECAUSE ALL MUTATION DOES IS AT BEST ADD A VARIATION TO THE TRAIT, CHANGING ONE GENE THAT IS ALREADY IN THE GENOME TO DO SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT IT'S STILL THAT GENE THAT BELONGS TO THAT GENOME AND NOTHINN NOT SOMETHING ELSE.
hey. lISTEN UP.
nOTHING EVOLVED AFTER TEH fLOOD THOUGH LOTS OF ANIMALS VARIED ENORMOUSLY AND MOVED OUT FROM THE AREA WHERE THEY DISEMBARKED IT VARIOUS NIGHES ALL OOVER THE PLANET WHERE THEY DEELOPED THEIR OWN POPULATIONS OF SUBSPEAKCIES OF EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN SAVED ON THE ARK.
sCYANOBACTERIA NEVER BECAME ANYTHING BUT CYNANOBACTERIA.
tHEY NEVER EVEN ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM OR TRY TO ANSWER IT, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTS. cOME ON, YOU GUYES, YOU HAVE ETO EXPLAIN HOW YOU GET THE KIND OF CHANGE THAT CREATES A WHOLE NEW GENOME FROM AN EXISTING ONE WHEN IT'S SO CLEAR THAT ALL YOU EVER GET IN ALL THE MULTITUDINOUS VARIOANTS WE ESEE IN LIVING THINGS IS VARIATOINS ON WHAT THEIR PARTICULAR GENOME HAS ALREADY CODEND WITHIN IT. cOME con YOU GUYS.
