Earth Sciences & Geology - September 2007

I am a solidly scientific-minded person, but I have long been uncomfortable with the Pangea theory. Sure, we have continental drift and it gives a good indication of how the continents are spreading, but what would have caused all the land mass to form on one side of the earth and then break up like it never should have been that way in the first place? What caused the bulge? And why would all of this spreading have occurred so recently, geologically. It seems to me that this would be a good creationist objection to evolution: so many species having such recent common ancestors on this big, single continent? Then it broke up and was separated by oceans? I haven't heard fundies use this objection yet, but I'd like to know, myself.

The gravitation of Indian Ocean floor is greater than any other oceans in world due to a large concentration of seamounts and mountains chains which causes the ocean surface to cave in, at the lowest point it can be and up to 300 feet "below sea level" in the area of 1,000 miles in diameter. True or False?

both i think because bears have been reported to attack humans so they have to be caged so as not to harm humans and humans to take care of them but as in the case of tarsiers they have to be in their natural habitat because if they are separated from their family/natural habitat they will commit suicide.. sOoo. what do ya think?
