In case anyone missed the sarcasm, Roberts statement may be the most insane thing I have heard. justaworker Is this what you were talking about? This is only part of the article, the rest can be read at the link below. Monsoon rains may suppress Himalayan quakes „X 18:09 26 April 2007 by Catherine Brahic Himalayan earthquakes are more common in winter because the weight of summer's heavy monsoon rains suppresses tremors, a new study suggests. Laurent Bollinger at the French Commission for Atomic Energy (CEA) and colleagues looked at a database of quakes that occurred in Nepal between 1995 and 2005 and found that there were 40% fewer tremors in the summer than in the winter. The seasonal difference was even more pronounced when they eliminated very small tremors. Quakes of magnitude 4 or greater on the local scale were 63% less common in the summer months than during winter. "Magnitude 4 tremors can be felt as light vibrations - they might knock a door shut for instance," says Bollinger. The likelihood of seeing such seasonal variation by chance is less than 1%, he adds. Tremors in the region are caused by one section of the Earth's crust sliding under another (subduction), so increasing weight on the upper plate may suppress such sliding, Bollinger suggests. Bollinger and his team will soon be publishing further research, in the journal Nature, which they say will strengthen their hypothesis that seasonal weight variations cause the anomaly.

What if they did make a pact with the devil in the 1700s...maybe Roberts knows something we don't.  |

LOL. |

LOL. If religion is all he knows. How'd he miss all those parts about taking care of people in times like this? International Standard Version (©2008) A religion that is pure and stainless according to God the Father is this: to take care of orphans and widows who are suffering, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. I think he should have worried more about the widows and orphans than blaming their ancestors for this. |
