Nope, I am saying from personal and photographic observations at various points in Baja, there is no noticable change in sea level. One of the greenies popped in and said oh yes it was proven... gave a metric figure... another Nomad replied, well that is no longer than a cigarette. :lol:

Now, where the high tide raises the sea up to 20 feet twice a day... is 100 mm more even matter?

I think your reference is to the almost horizontal plane. :light:

When you see scientific terms like "almost horizontal plane", you know I'm an expert. :biggrin:

Yup and your hero Algore is the mad politicain trying to pedal his version of science... with temperature graphs he reads backwards!

Physical observation is what science is... that is what I have done... I don't need some loser to tell me that what I can see is not really there. :rolleyes:

During the 1500s, when Spaniards first came ashore on what is now Baja California, most Europeans considered the Bible to be a true account of human history as well as our planet’s origin. Serious thinkers of that age believed that some time around 5000 B.C., God had devoted six days to creating Earth, giving the continents their familiar forms, and surrounding them with the existing oceans.

+++++++++++++


Thanks Bajalera---as always, an interesting read.

Seems strange that in some areas of the US and among certain groups, science is now taking a backseat to the old 6 day, 6000 year belief system. For 8 recent years, even our government turned its back on science.

Ain't it the truth. In Baja, we can't even buy beer before 10:00 AM. Talk about a screwed up world.

Good one, Dennis.

The San Andreas fault never look so good.

That reminds me of a joke. Something about having so many face lifts you end up shaving.

That brings back memories, Igor, of Phyllis Diller when she would say, "If I have one more facelift, I'll have a goatee. :lol:

Good ol' Phyllis.
