I had read that before, not that I mind you bringing it up. A curious thing. I can only imagine that in the midst of some unusually long deluge people slip into a sort of melancholy that enters into mythic territory, particularly among primitive peoples.

The story of Noah is charming in a way. Of course we know that no way in utter hell could anyone or a small army gather a male and female of every species and put them on a boat.

If one were to buy the biblical Noah story, not saying you are, and if one were a 6000 year creationist, one would think Noah, died at age 950, lived for almost 16 percent of the geological life span of this planet.

What is it with people like this? Why are they not able to follow simple instructions? The island is a no go zone....just dont go there. You are not special. You do not have the right to ignore laws and interfere with their life.

An American tourist has been arrested after sailing to a remote island and leaving behind a can of Coke and a coconut for the world’s most dangerous and isolated people.

North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinelese, a pre-Neolithic tribe that has rebuffed all contact with the outside world, shooting arrows at passing helicopters and killing those landing ashore.

Yet Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, made an illegal visit to the island on Saturday using a makeshift craft to cross a 25-mile strait, Indian police said.

I saw that story. Rarely has someone's appearance so well matched an awkward bozo event like this. The shyte for brains is lucky he's still sucking air.

The island is approximately circular in shape, the diameter for that area would be 5.4 miles. He was blowing a whistle off shore, he must've lucked out. The people were too far enough away to hear him.

The article said up to five years in prison is possible. I hope he gets all five.

I'm not going along with the Earth as being the age that some have decided it is. The Earth is by far much younger than that cited...

Science denier? Don't believe in isotopic decay rates being constant? I've never met a rock that lied to me. No science degree? GED perhaps?

God works in mysterious ways. And that would include the accounts in the Bible.

So how old do you think the Earth is?

Unfortunately for the evolutionists, they cannot prove anything.... Which is just as well...

Actually, there is a lot of proof. Really a lot. Not something I can fill you in about.
