Shorter Days Ahead ... - Adventism's Leading Forums

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

If with each earthquake we lose a little of our life ... pretty soon it will amount to a lot. :( _________________________ May we be one so that the world may be won. I believe in Hematology.

So Bravus let us know what the story is? pk _________________________ pk "Ask not what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country" - President John F. Kennedy

pkrause Registered: 2000-03-24 Posts: 15177 Loc: Lancaster,MA,USA	And Bravus I have another question! When they say day, are they talking about the 24 hour day? or are they talking about the amount of light per day? pk _________________________ pk "Ask not what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country" - President John F.

Bravus Husband and Father Registered: 2004-09-04 Posts: 10787 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	Quote: So Bravus does this happen each time there's an earthquake? And if this is the case, why are we just hearing about this now? But like you say its no big deal anyway. No, the reason it would have happened (may have happened) this time is that a huge area of the sea floor, and hence a huge mass of rock and mud, was thrust upward by some distance. One of the articles I read compared it to an ice skater: if they extend their arms out from their bodies their spin slows, if they pull them in the spin speeds up. Similarly, some mass moved further out from the centre of the earth, slightly slowing the earth's rotation. Most earthquakes involve sideways movement along faultlines, not upward or downward movement, so would have no effect on the earth's rotation. It's possible that the earthquake that caused the disastrous Boxing Day tsunami a few years ago was an upthrusting quake (hence the tsunami), and therefore it may also have slightly affected the earth's rotation. The effects are miniscule, of course, and as I noted earlier, do not change the lengths of our lives by even those miniscule amounts... But I guess it's fun to play as if they do... _________________________ In my tribe it is customary to support our assertions with evidence.

pkrause Registered: 2000-03-24 Posts: 15177 Loc: Lancaster,MA,USA	Thanks for the info Bravus. Do you think that at the flood, we had this same situation? Because I would imagine that the earth must of had some very large EQs to cause massive amounts of water coming out of the earth? And if this EQ could knock the earth a little more off its axis, I wonder if this could've happen at the flood? pk _________________________ pk "Ask not what your Country can do for you, ask what you can do for your Country" - President John F.
