Antarctic Lake Actually Two in One

Scoria writes "USA Today reports: Scientists have discovered that Lake Vostok, a liquid freshwater lake which has been isolated from the world beneath 4 km of ice for approximately 500,000 years, contains two separate basins. They believe that the basins, which are divided by a ridge that limits water exchange, may host individual ecosystems that are home to ancient microbes."

    Creationism isn't a scientific theory because God is another theory. A theory without proof to confirm that He exists.

    God doesn't exists... That's a story that your parents, grands-parents (,etc.) told you to respect some values or to be easily manipulated by the elites(Church, Republican leaders, etc.).

    Since the heat requirements grows exponentially to melt a larger volume of ice

    why do people abuse the word "exponential"? if you take an argument based on the radius, the amount of energy needed to melt it grows cubically.
