Researchers Complete New Gondwana Map

An anonymous reader writes "A new computer simulated map has revealed the past position of the Australian, Antarctic and Indian tectonic plates, demonstrating how they formed the supercontinent Gondwana 165 million years ago. 'It was a simple technique, matching the geological boundaries on each plate. The geological units formed before the continents broke apart, so we used their position to put this ancient jigsaw puzzle back together again,' said Lloyd White of Royal Holloway University in a press release. 'We found that many existing studies had positioned the plates in the wrong place because the geological units did not align on each plate.'"

The God created Earth 5000 years ago. There is no evidence of Gondwana plate or even Earth 165 million years ago.

This is what we call 'modern science'

Step 1: Formulate a premise based on a widely accepted existing theory
Step 2: Write a piece of software which runs a simulation supporting that premise
Step 3: Receive accolades from mainstream science for your groundbreaking work

This isn't science, it's just plain silly. Spending time refining an existing concept about how the continents were arranged prior to human life existing .. relevance anyone? No wonder we're still traversing the surface of the earth using combustion and generating electricity by destroying our planetary resources, all of the 'scientists' are busy wasting the planet's resources staring at a pile of bearshit in the woods.

It's the woods .. bears live in it .. they eat, they shit.
