who does the biblical geological research,?

Question

there is a prophesy about the old site where babylon was, i think its fuluga in iraq, that this site would slip into the river euphrates, setting of a world wide earthquake that would bring down the cities of the earth, i wondered if this site had ever been explored for weaknesses to get an early warning.

Answer 1

Geologists do not use ancient prophecies to predict future events. However, if an ancient text talks about earthquakes in an area, it is probably because the people there had actually experienced some.
The ancient and modern peoples of the Middle East have certainly experienced earthquakes. It is a geologically active area. Iraq lies on the Arabian tectonic plate, sandwiched in between three other plates. There are earthquakes associated with the plate boundaries of the Arabian plate, just as there are earthquakes along plate boundaries around the world. But an earthquake in the Middle East would not trigger a world wide earthquake. And, while an earthquake may cause great buildings to fall, the opposite does not happen---that buildings falling into a river (or anywhere) would or could trigger an earthquake.
The geology of Iraq is fairly well known, since it has been explored for its oil potential. The active seismic zones of the world are fairly well-known too, because scientists have been recording and calculating the locations of world earthquakes for many years now.
Geologists have gotten pretty good at predicting the probability of earthquakes in a certain area within a certain window of time (10-30 years for example), but have not yet learned how to predict size, place of an earthquake in next day or two.

A huge meteor impact could do some real damage worldwide--but that isn't what you asked.

Answer 2

The Middle East has been fairly well mapped by geologists whilst seeking oil reserves. This was done on a scientific basis, not using the bible. If they had found something of interesting there it would have been investigated, irrelevant to anything written in the bible. Please try to keep religious myths out of science, the two don't mix.
What is it with creationists, and other people who seem to have no scientific understanding and aren't prepared to listen, asking stupid questions in the earth science and geology section? What's wrong with asking the questions in religious sections and living the science area for science!

Answer 3

Crusaders of the Church?

Answer 4

Did you read this in the Bible? Where is it written?

Answer 5

Please do not associate Geology with the Bible, the two have nothing in common.Science is science and faith is faith. Faith believes in Creationism and geology definately does not.
