I'm sorry if I just don't see that as disastrous nor do I see it as something that's not ever happened before in the entire history of the earth. In actuality, it's probably happened several times in the history of the earth.
Like I said, when there are seashell fossils several hundred miles inshore, you have to accept that more of the earth has been covered with liquid water than it is now, ergo less frozen water, ergo previous warmer conditions.
Sorry that I'm just not that worried about it  |
Geology 101 - tectonic plates move and are in a continual cycle of abduction and subduction. finding seashell fossiles 100's of miles inshore might be proof that the area in question was underwater... however, it ignores the other realities of geology, namely the fact that the tectonic plates are moving and constantly being forced up from underwater or being forced under.
