I think so, although the sun being the every day by day norm, as well as associated with the 24 hour solar gravity driven tide (roughly half that of our lunar forced tides) might make the sun somewhat common place and otherwise not the least bit unusual.

At 12 feet tall and with added oxygen back then, people lived a long time and accomplished a lot. I'm talking of annual migration that apparently didn't take place prior to 12,500 BP. I agree with taller folks and of their ice-age environment having considerably greater O2, as well as greater atmospheric density/pressure. Furthermore without earth tilt, the poles would be cooler and equator much warmer than today. So there would be more chance for massive warm areas during the oldest parts of ice ages. I agree, with much less seasonal tilt and only a third the global ocean tidal action w/o moon, as such would have made our poles much colder and of considerably greater icy, snowy and surface frozen area, possibly even icy/frosty into the tropics by night. That doesn't give much dry land that's warm enough for the likes of fuzzy naked humans. So obviously you wouldn't have the time of day or night to make notations of hardly if anything except your final demise.

And "some" is all that is needed to leave a few permanent markings here or there. I'm not sure about that double lifespan, as it had to have been a tough environment with lots of other better adapted, tougher and meaner life continually trying to eat you alive. I believe Earth has been hit by an icy proto-moon, likely more often than once, whereas each encounter having delivered another load of salty ice. I believe a glancing 2 km/s (+/- whatever) encounter could be simulated to show exactly how this took place. Now here's where we seriously part company or should I say you part company with logic.

Yes (what's your point?) Are you saying you know of where all the hundreds of millions of our human species that existed as of during and prior to the very last ice- age this planet w/moon is ever going to see, went? And if some humans survived, where's the etchings of one of these events, the biggest event of all time, certainly there would be permanent records somewhere.

I think so, although the sun being the every day by day norm, as well as associated with the 24 hour solar gravity driven tide (roughly half that of our lunar forced tides) might make the sun somewhat common place and otherwise not the least bit unusual. So you don't know. I'd assume there must be thousands just based on logic alone. And again a full moon appears very bright on a clear night. So it would be impossible to say that no etching of the moon exists if there's thousands of etchings of the sun since moon etchings could easily be misread as being the sun. So saying there's no moon etchings is really impossible. Here's a point that actually favors your view. A crescent shaped moon could actually be the sun since while the sun never crescents (it's always a full sun) it actually does crescent abruptly during solar eclipses. So even if there were a crescent shaped object drawn, it could mean the sun or a coconut lying in the sun for that matter. But bottom line is that arguing whether there is or isn't moon etchings is rather futile and pointless since you don't know for sure the source of an etching. You might argue however that very few etches of moon shaped objects exist, which doesn't make any sence since the sun and moon would be two of the most fascinating subjects back then. Can the percentage of round object etchings even be half accurately calculated is a hurdle in itself. Unfortunately only after such an estimation was properly done could the moon-arrived-after-humans postulation be made. With me? I'm talking of annual migration that apparently didn't take place prior to 12,500 BP. Now this is your best argument so far, that the moon arrived after humans, not cave etchings. You're saying had there been a moon during the last ice age, the earth would have the tilt and seasonal sway it has today and this seasonal sway would mean death for all humans during the coldest decades of the last ice age because humans couldn't live on ice alone, nor live near the ice too since the sway would melt the ice near the edges flooding already killed off folliage and animal life, nor live productively constantly moving inside the dynamic warm zones. Since humans did survive, the static earth theory makes much more sense. Unfortunately this brings up another issue: couldn't the earth still sway and tilt without the moon? Of course. So this one goes out with the etching argument. I'm not saying your theory is wrong, just that it's tough to prove. *I agree with taller folks and of their ice-age environment having considerably greater O2, as well as greater atmospheric density/pressure. At least that's what's reported, which btw I always take with a grain fo salt .. especially these days! No especially those days too. This is the big hurdle, what is recorded that is indeed actual facts and what isn't. You simply cannot rely on publicized words alone to make conclusions for issues like this. Furthermore without earth tilt, the poles would be cooler and equator much warmer than today. So there would be more chance for massive warm areas during the oldest parts of ice ages. I agree, with much less seasonal tilt and only a third the global ocean tidal action w/o moon, Tides are 100% meaningless wrt this topic. BTW if the earth is 98% molten lava and the tides in your mind are so significant why then don't we have still have massive quakes and eruptions constantly with 15 feet X 1 billion square miles of lava constantly swishing about? Answer tides are meaningless and so is interior lava tides since no such massive action occurs. Here's where you might call me a kook, I think (no where near sure yet) that the moon is magnitudes smaller than the authorities lead on. If the moon were as big than such internal tiding would be disasterous even today. Furthermore, the area between the eyes is a mear 1.5" Take a good look at the moon during an full night time solar eclipse. The moon appears very near, you'd swear it seems to hang there in the sky like about 100 miles away or so. It definitely appears to be 3-D. Any good grade 8 algebra student can tell you that in order for the moon to be over 200,000 miles away it would be impossible to appear in 3-D looking through two dots just 1.5" appart. It would have to be a lot closer to appear in 3D. Again this is just a current belief, and I change my mind about everything a dozen times. The true distance could be calculated by taking two pictures simultatneously, one from on the ground and one from someone exactly in the direction of the moon from the guy on the ground from a very high airplane. The cameras and settings would have to be identical. Then you could measure the circumference difference. If they are the same, than out goes the 100 mile away moon. Telescopes with cameras might be able to be used too. I went of the deep end here, I know. as such would have made our poles much colder and of considerably greater icy, snowy and surface frozen area, possibly even icy/frosty into the tropics by night. *That doesn't give much dry land that's warm enough for the likes of fuzzy naked humans. Good point. Very true. I'm not sure about that double lifespan, as it had to have been a tough environment with lots of other better adapted, tougher and meaner life continually trying to eat you alive. I've heard/read some people lived to be 800 years old back then, but againt, reports have proven to be 100% bogus besides how could such a determination be made with 100% certainty anyway. Now here's where we seriously part company or should I say you part company with logic. You are saying you believe in multiple serious asteroid/moonlet/planet-to-earth smackdowns occured. Such events would be totally catastrophic for multiple lifeforms on earth, humans included no? Yes (what's your point?) My point is that you and me are here right? Therefore, that theory is wrong. We wouldn't be able to survive the impact. John Lear (Google) claims the moon was "magnetically towed" here by "grey men." That's something I laughed at at first but if the moon were indeed very small and these men very advanced ... . But I also take John Lear's word with a grain of salt. This guy though seemingly very intelligent has made several blatent and very provable lies already. Are you saying you know of where all the hundreds of millions of our human species that existed as of during and prior to the very last ice- age this planet w/moon is ever going to see, went? Yeah, manure .. or crematory ash. And if some humans survived, where's the etchings of one of these events, the biggest event of all time, certainly there would be permanent records somewhere. You're not thinking clear, or perhaps not thinking at all, other than being naysay as to anything that's outside of your cozy Darwin box. Don't understand your problem with that statement, but skip it anyway and stick to your views. I'm the one doing the most questioning, how can I be cozy in a box? My box has windows on all four walls and a sunroof. I'm planning a sunfloor too. One last thing, can you answer my original questions. I know you cannot because what you've said is 100% impossible. I think what you meant to say was "I" have never seen ancient moon etchings after hunting around for some on the internet. Is this closer to the truth than no such etchings exist? If you've got such old (prior to 12,500 BP) etchings of anything remotely moon like, then simply fork them over. *Isn't share and share alike any part of your mostly subjective based mindset? So I was right, you just personally haven't seen any ancient moon etchings. Ok your late-arrival indirect answer suffices. My advice to you is be more factual, you are very limited being an army of one. Unlike yourself, at least my mindset is wide open until peer replicated science that's objective, informs us otherwise. Mine too, but lies and ducking questions are things I hate. You must hate them too as I see all the trolls here constantly avoid your questions. BTW, all-knowing Sir, when exactly was the arctic ocean basin formed? Trap? You probably already think you know. Seriously, "fill" me in. When exactly were those antipode mountains created on the exact opposite side of Earth? Opposite to whom? Do you even realize what 2e20 N/sec of mutual tidal force that's also representing the energy worth of orbital gravity interaction, that is quite worthy of global warming us to death? (apparently not) No but I know the lava inside the earth ain't doing too much these days. You can throw all the figures you want, but when I can go out for a 600 mile drive without a fissure interruption in California, I know the facts support my logic. And yes I understand that things have settled down a bit since the moon arrived. But the tide thing hasn't. Therein is the contradiction. |

Unfortunately only after such an estimation was properly done could the moon-arrived-after-humans postulation be made. With me? Not really, because the rational and perfectly deductive evidence provided by such an advanced and highly survival intelligent species of humans should have noticed and taken advantage of that moon, as of prior to 12,500 BP.

Since humans did survive, the static earth theory makes much more sense. I call it a monoseason environment, whereas you really didn’t have to migrate due to seasonal changes, because such seasonal changes were somewhat minor. Unfortunately this brings up another issue: couldn't the earth still sway and tilt without the moon? Of course. So this one goes out with the etching argument. I'm not saying your theory is wrong, just that it's tough to prove. There was an elliptical orbit factor (worse off than once having our moon), and likely some tilt consideration.

Have faith that the physically dark and nasty moon is in fact quite big and robust at 7.35e22 kg, and that it’s also the primary reason or cause for global warming. 2e20 N/sec of mutual gravity/tidal interaction is not insignificant once converted into hourly energy potential. At half the orbital distance we’re talking of more tidal interaction than is likely survivable by most of dry-land species. At a 1/4 the orbital distance and perhaps nothing much goes unflooded twice a day, not to mention all terrestrial ice melted and that of our geothermal and geophysical trauma from the inside-out goes absolutely postal to boot. as such would have made our poles much colder and of considerably greater icy, snowy and surface frozen area, possibly even icy/frosty into the tropics by night. That doesn't give much dry land that's warm enough for the likes of fuzzy naked humans. Good point. Very true. I'm not sure about that double lifespan, as it had to have been a tough environment with lots of other better adapted, tougher and meaner life continually trying to eat you alive.

I’m thinking as much as a 90% die-off, and perhaps 75% of ocean life didn’t make it (those of us in deep enough caves and well above sea level did best). You got some good idea as to where the of millions of us survival smart humans suddenly went? (I didn’t think so) Are you saying you know of where all the hundreds of millions of our human species that existed as of during and prior to the very last ice- age this planet w/moon is ever going to see, went? Yeah, manure .. or crematory ash. I’d have to agree with that, as the surface of Earth got a rather serious hicky kiss or icy sucker punch of death from God. Call it an evolutionary RESET.

You say you’re from the planet Denial? Unlike yourself, at least my mindset is wide open until peer replicated science that's objective, informs us otherwise. Mine too, but lies and ducking questions are things I hate. You must hate them too as I see all the trolls here constantly avoid your questions. Asking Hitler to accept the truth meant that you the good messenger of whatever truth were soon going to be dead. The same thing happened via that Pope having nailed those nice Cathars, and elsewhere of countless millions upon millions in Russia, and then again with a few of the GW Bush minions that didn’t go along with his lies either left quietly, went missing in action or committed suicide. "whoever controls the past, controls the future" / George Orwell The Rothschilds as German Zionist/Nazi definitely had their firm domination control of our past, in much the same way as DARPA and Bacardi maintain their more recent grip on their past, present and future, as well as their firm grasp of our private parts. . - Brad Guth |

So the Moon has been around for at least 400 million years, although it's been pulling slowly away from the Earth via the transfer of momentum to it via the tides, causing it to climb into a higher orbit as Earth's daily rotation slows down from the same effect. Way, way down the line they both end up tidally locked - with the Earth always having one face pointed towards the Moon, as the Moon presently has facing toward Earth. At that point the Moon is 1/4 again as far from Earth as it is now, and Earth has period of rotation of around forty of our present days, a single Earth day then being around 960 hours long: http://starryskies.com/articles/2007...ture-moon.html Pat |

Actually it's pretty easy to disprove; just look at the monthly growth lines on fossil Nautilus shells:http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-T...0-Hours-the-Te... No Moon means no monthly tidal effects (or months for that matter) and the fossils would have only yearly growth markings on them. So the Moon has been around for at least 400 million years, although it's been pulling slowly away from the Earth via the transfer of momentum to it via the tides, causing it to climb into a higher orbit as Earth's daily rotation slows down from the same effect. Way, way down the line they both end up tidally locked - with the Earth always having one face pointed towards the Moon, as the Moon presently has facing toward Earth. At that point the Moon is 1/4 again as far from Earth as it is now, and Earth has period of rotation of around forty of our present days, a single Earth day then being around 960 hours long:http://starryskies.com/articles/2007...ture-moon.html Pat My goodness, your silly naysim is certainly getting the better of yourself. The solar tide all by itself is roughly worth one third of the existing global ocean tidal action as we know it. Once again, you are such a pagan born-again and otherwise totally proven intellectual bigot. .. - Brad Guth |
