This link leads to a picture on Wikipedia that shows the extent of the glaciation during the most recent ice age.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Northern_icesheet_hg.png

According to that picture, there was a heck of a lot of ice on North America, but not nearly as much on eastern Siberia. It seems odd to me that eastern Siberia wouldn't have glaciers since Siberia is generally very cold.

From the distribution of ice shown in the picture, it looks like the North Pole may have been closer to Baffin Island back then, (Baffin Island is the big island to the west of Greenland).

Has anyone ever heard of any geologists proposing a theory like this?

Has anyone heard of something called the "deep sound channel". The way I understand it it's a deep layer in the ocean where the pressure is so great that it confines sound waves and can be used to send messages to other areas of the oceans and is used by the Navy for long distance communications.

My boss needs to settle an arguement with a friend. Why does the water flow down a plug hole one way in the Northern Hemisphere compared to the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere?

I saw in a documentary that the whole population is now using 20% more natural resources than Earth can reproduce. I don't know where this 20% comes from, but it makes me think more about environment. It is as with money: we can spend more money than we earn, but if you continue doing so, you will go bankrupt? Does it mean one day Earth will go bankrupt?

They probably won't read this, but here goes:

I always put forward the Noah story to show the futility of believing the Bible explicitly. We know now that there are 10s of thousands of animal species that would need to be saved in the event of a flood that supposedly turned over the whole Earth’s crust (creationists argument for geological layers and scientists’ mis-aging of fossils).

How would Noah get all over the world to pick up a sloth and jaguar in South America, a kangaroo in Australia, a giant tortoise in the Galapogas, etc, etc, etc?

How would he get tens of thousands of species pairs into the ark?

The last time I put this to a creationist, he came back and said that all those animals were living in Noah’s vicinity at the time.

That rests the case doesn’t it?

I heard that, you know like when you look in a spoon everything is upside down, except we are the ones who are really upside down. Is this ture? So if an ET comes to earth we look like we are upside down.

I'm in a university science class called Living on Earth, and for the semester, we are required to do written research, conduct or at least propose an experiment, have about ten credible sources and one "junk science" source. We have a total of four projects throughout the semester on this one subject, three written and one oral. The instructor said we could choose anything as long as it is related to life on earth. I'm not looking for someone to do my assignment for me, but this is a broad subject and I am not scientifically minded. It's just such a broad field that I am having trouble choosing a subject and we are supposed to narrow it down as far as possible. That is, not have more than one very specific experiment going on for the subject.

the reason that fossils are dated back millions of years is becuase the biblical flood overturned the entire earth's floor, leaving scientists to make many mistakes in dating them.
