Mount St. Helens Eruption Baffles Scientists

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-just-keeps-going-and-going dept.

jurt1235 writes "Mount St. Helens, which started erupting 15 months ago, is still erupting. The weird part is, by now every 3 seconds 10 cubic yards of lava is coming out of the volcano but scientists cannot determine from where it is coming anymore. From the article: 'The volume is greater than anything that could be standing in a narrow 3-mile pipe. That suggests resupply from greater depths, which normally would generate certain gases and deep earthquakes. Neither is being detected.'"

    Obviously this "lava from nowhere" phenomenon is a miracle, and proof of God's existence.

    Right?
