...apparently made the remarks while addressing his soldiers," says Thompson. "Sure, he was skating along the edges of propriety, but these are soldiers being sent halfway around the world on a mission that doesn't have much public support.

THIS STORY READ MORE LIKE CONFIRMAtion of Noah's Deluge than Darwin's theory of evolution. ''Tectonic forces unleashed huge earthquakes that broke continental land masses apart, then slammed them back together. Mountains the size of the Himalayas shot skyward...''

Tectonic forces unleashed huge earthquakes that broke continental land masses apart, then slammed them back together. Mountains the size of the Himalayas shot skyward, hurling avalanches of rock, sand and mud down their flanks. The climate was in turmoil. Great ice ages came and went as the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans endured some of the most spectacular shifts in the planet's history. And in one way or another, says Knoll, these dramatic upheavals helped midwife complex animal life...
