This morning it was -52 degrees celsius.

MINUS FIFTY TWO F$%@&*#@!#$%@# DEGREES CELSIUS!!

I mean..... bloody hell.... what the f........ come on now..... why?

I'm reading.... or was reading.... an interesting book about geological evidence regarding a universal flood in the history of earth. It theorizes that the earth's axis used to be straight.... that is, it wasn't tilted at the angle it is now. This supports the fossils found that suggest that a sub-tropical climate used to cover the entire earth.

Even Canada. That's right, God used to like Canada. Back when there were no Europeans inhabiting it.

I guess what happened was a cataclysmic global event knocked the planet off it's axis and Canadians have been freezing their buns off ever since.

It's a good book, while I'm on the topic. Presents a lot of ideas to satisfy the nagging questions that any thinking human probably has about a story as unlikely as the biblical flood. For example..... given the sheer enormity of the planet, how is it possible that two of every species alive made their way to Noah? That seems rather unlikely.... don't you think. And don't give me none of your faith pat answers. I don't need them because I have a scientific explanation.

You and I both know that there is a certain amount of truth to the theory of evolution, that is to say, that species change and adapt to their environment. Polar bears have adapted to the arctic. So it's probably safe to say that Polar Bears didn't exist before the flood. They'd have baked. And since the climate was the same everywhere, it's probably safe to say that a healthy cross section of the world's animals existed in any give region.

That is to say, Noah probably didn't need a Grizzly Bear, a Kodiak Bear, a Kermode Bear, AND a Polar Bear. He just needed one pair of bears. And take lemurs for example...... do you think Noah really needed a set of Ring Tailed Lemurs, Red Ruffed Lemurs... the other kinds of lemurs? Probably just a pair of any given Lemurs. And think about all the animals that were created from domestic breeding. Poodles (we know God wasn't responsible for THAT) and Siamese Fighting Fish. Persian Cats. They say every dog in the world descended from the Alaskan Wolf. Do you know how many species that makes space for in the ark? LOTS.

So many things to think about, in respect to the flood. I should get back to that book. Pizza's on it's way. I'm hungry. goodbye.
