Canada Comet Lengthened the Ice Age

Iddo Genuth writes "Recent geological evidence gathered in Ohio and Indiana has been verified by a University of Cincinnati assistant professor as support of a comet theory, claiming a comet explosion over earth was the cause of drastic changes to life on our planet. This evidence strengthens initial data collected over a year ago. The explosion, which occurred over what is now Canada, caused the extinction of animals and cultures and lengthened the Ice Age nearly 13,000 years ago that should have been coming to an end."

    Finally one of these articles that mentions both panspermia and periodicity of extinction events in TFA.

    Before the bookmakers get started let's get this out there: although the odds of an extinction level event occurring today or tomorrow or this year is exceedingly remote astronomers agree that in the fullness of time it's not just likely, it's certain.

  2. Interesting ad placement by damn_registrars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is anyone else getting a banner ad on the side that is advertising the "Scientology Video Channel"? Rather amusing pairing, I suppose. Real science sharing my browser with a religion based on the writings of a third-rate science fiction author.
