Believe what you want my friend. And what would I read a 50 year old book on the subject? Even a science book of that age would be a novelty to read really.

It is a good place to start...I read it...Even old science books have their merit...They help you see the origin and evolution of what we know today...In engineering school they taught us a very old processor that wasn't even used any more and we wondered why they weren't teaching us about current processors, well, origin and evolution, learn to walk before you run...The 8086 processor was the big bang, so to speak, of the processor world, what we have today evolved from the 8086...Science used to that man's been here for millions of year, now they say that man did not come on the scene until much later in history...

Some, but this book doesn't. Mostly though books on science from that long ago have a lot of outdated theories. This book wouldn't even have value if it was written today since it tries to prove something that never happened. That has no actual proof, and is disputed by all major disciplines in the field.

I've seen both religion and science change their tune several times in my 48 years, this is why I hold both with scepticism...

The Irony meter just went off the scale.
("...Theories...Unless you were actually there...[ell, it could have been local at tbe time Pangea existed...

Just do your research like I did...If you read the biblical account of the directions the people went after the came down off the mountain it seems impossible that it is the Mt. Ararat in Turkey....Josephus speaks of barbarian historians that speak of a group of people on top of a mt. where they were escaping a flood and there was a large boat that landed there with eight people (I think)....So as science has proved Pangea this may have been a local flood that seemed global...")

Seems that you are using a misunderstanding of both elements of change to justify your own views. Science doesn't change its tune, but adds further information to what it already knows.

Religion does change its tune to grudgingly get in line with secular popular views when it risks losing its audience, but still says it's singing the same song.
