The biggest worry to me about the New Madrid Fault is if it opens up the fault lines going north to the Great Lakes to the point that water shifts south across Indiana as previously in Indiana's geological history.

I was talking to a Jehovah's Witness friend of mine the other day and he was trying to use that concept on me.

I explained to him that this wasn't 'designed' or 'created' for us - as in some god didn't create this specifically for our needs - but that we are a result of the earth as it evolved - as in we exist because we evolved to survive in these conditions.

There is a difference.

He also tried to use the eternal god concept on me and it was a hoot that he wouldn't accept the eternal universe concept.

  I am a big fan of science shows.  I just love every show that is about the Universe, the Big Bang and everything about the Universe.  After watching all of this, I just can't believe how anyone can believe the Bible or that there is a God.  It just doesn't compute, just don't make common sense and the Religious nuts want to control America.  :azz:

  With all of the earthquakes we have had from the beginning of the earth and the millions of people they have killed over the thousands of millenniums.  Maybe we should starting believing the religious zealots that we are in the end times.  :haha:  And put our legs over our shoulders and kiss our ass good bye.  :haha:

A 7.7 earthquake in Canada!  :spooked:

The quake struck about 139 kilometers (86 miles) south of Masset on British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. No major damage was reported.

It triggered a Tsunami warning for Hawaii that was lifted by 7 AM ET this morning!

Scant news coverage of the Canadian EQ of 7.7; at least from what I have seen. More focus on the Tsunami that didn't happen. . . (Of course I've been watching football all day though). . .

Granted the location of it was in what we here in the US would call "wilderness", the implications are somewhat scary for the north American continent. . .
