Birth of the Moon: a Runaway Nuclear Reaction?
An anonymous reader writes "How the Moon arose has long stumped scientists. Now Dutch geophysicists argue that it was created not by a massive collision 4.5 billion years ago, but by a runaway nuclear reaction deep inside the young Earth."
the moon is made of cheese
clearly, the young earth was lactose intolerant, and ejected it for that reason
the problem is all infants can digest lactose, and lose the lactase enzyme ability later in life if they don't have the right genes
but all theories have holes in them
like swiss cheese!
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Check. Dutch Scientists, Check. Thought that the moon was caused by a Cosmic Dutch Oven, Priceless.

So Earth basically got a bad case of gas, had an accident and now has its own turd in orbit.
We all know that if there were a nuclear catastrophe of this magnitude, then the whole planet would be hurled through space at such speed that each week we would encounter a new alien race, group of outcasts, or supernatural being. Seeing as the earth is still in its stable orbit around the sun, we can conclude that this must not have happened.
If the moon were real, it would have been created by God. Clearly a large ball of rock is the sign of an intelligent Creator, if it were there.
Actually they used DC-8. The 737 didn't come out til like 10 million years later!
The article is slashdotted but it is possible that when this happened there was no solid surface yet to leave traces of this.
No, I think the article was slashdotted today.
The server in flames may leave traces on the floor and walls of the server room, but we'll have to wait for a "Best Way For Bright Child To Clean Server Room?" post to Ask Slashdot to confirm.
Rich And Stupid is not so bad as Working For Rich And Stupid.
Oh, wait... it is. Nevermind.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
People like you are what makes arseholes like Bevets cry at night and hold themselves...you with your "science" and "evidence." Bah! A pox on you!
