why geologists are wrong, wrong, wrong! about the age of the earth

I came across the following diagram on Peter Bowditch's wonderful The Millenium Project. Like him, I hope it's a poe; but nonetheless, I find it has a certain dreadful fascination. Who knew that geologists could get it so wrong?

Gee does all the water vanish once it goes into people and no water ever come out?

He also left out animals. And plants, bacteria, fungi…

It’s news to me that we drink ocean water, too.

Oh, whatever :-)

It is a well known fact that water in the Mississippi River, by the time it reaches St. Louis, MO, has been through 16.5 toilets. ;-)

And there we have it - the problem at the heart of homeopathy :-)

It would be a bugger if you were the owner of one of those 16 (and a half) toilets. There would be little chance of retrieving anything that dropped into the bowl by mistake.

OK to post this or not. The best response to the author of that screed is "Piss on you!"

At which Harley dealership can I buy the latest Hydrologic Cycle?

You might have to try the 'marine' branch, in which case the jetski version is probably the best option :-)
