In reading the NYT of Sun., Feb. 26'th (p. 18 E), I was amused to read
the following.
In 1981 there were so many competing explanations as to why the
dinosaurs became extinct that Peter R. Voght of the Naval Research Lab
and John C. Holden, a geologist and early proponent of continental drift,
decided to take a poll. Turning to the 11,000 members of the American
Geophysical Union and members of Dr. Holden's irreverent International
Stop Continental Drift Society, they proferred 25 theories for the deaths.
Besides the usual (climate warming/cooling, stellar explosion, volcanic
activity, disease, etc.) #24 was, get this, that "Noah built more than one ark.
The ark carrying the dinosaurs, etc., sank." I love it!! |-))))
For those in net.religion, respond to misc or to me via mail.
If it's in the newspaper, it must be true |-)
