Re: Then you will have to tell that to the scientific community who consider the tsunami of 26/12/04 was the result of an earthquake. The scientific community?!? LOL... Let's get serious! Do you want to have a look at the Belgian branch of "the scientific community"? Here you're: astro.oma.be astro.oma.be The Observatoire Royal de Belgique was our local source/expert the media (TVs, newspapers,...) tapped for scientific explanations about the tsunami... I guess US media likewise interviewed geonerds from the USGS. But let's face it, Searle: those geohacks are not trustworthy, their scientific integrity being hostage to the government that pays them! Suppose you're one of those geophysics PhDs working for a government agency: if you don't toe the official line, if you start blabbing about nuclear explosions then you're sacked the next day... what's your "career prospects" henceforth? Teaching geography to high-school dunces? Flipping burgers at the local McDonald's? I don't think most Fortune500 corporations are desperate to hire geophysicists.... Gus
