Of course! HalfMooner lives just blocks from the phenomenon he was describing, so there's no way he could have seen the offsets for himself, he must be relying on "charts made by pseudoscientists," instead.
I was in the middle of all the major CA quakes... 1933, 1952, 1971, and I never found out what caused them.
So you're at least 77, and haven't figured out how geology works as a science, yet. Thanks for the info.

The only reason GPS works is because Einstein was right. And Einstein wasn't the one who tested the phenomena of light-bending; it was Eddington. But perhaps he was in on the con? Or perhaps you need to pick better programs to watch on TV.

Speaking for cantbe323, he is still learning how the response system works on this forum, especially how to block the response. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a joke, right? No one educated beyond the forth grade would make such statements, unless they were home schooled. Were you home schooled?, cantbe323 ?

San Andreas Fault
San Andreas Fault Tour Guide

David Lynch of Thule Scientific has published "Field Guide to the San Andreas Fault", a 200+ page driving tour guide for visiting the fault. This is one of the highest quality publications on the San Andreas Fault that I have seen.

It includes over 200 illustrations, some of which are exceptional in their educational value. The book is written to accommodate the beginner and expert. For the beginner there is background information about geologic structures and plate tectonics and an introduction to the San Andreas. The expert will benefit from the detailed field guide that can be used to visit numerous interesting locations along the fault.

San Andreas is so visible that there is a tour guide!

So, when are you going to present, with reference, your evidence in support of your claims?

Nope, just a natural skeptic, been that way ever since I saw dad and mom put the presents under the Christmas tree.

Hardly. A skeptic seeks reliable information and doesn't indulge in unsupported statements. Until you learn to research and debate like a skeptic, you ain't. In fact, from what you have written in here, I strongly suspect that you have not the least idea of what you're talking about.

So I, patiently, ask again: what is the basis for your statements? Please give reference, unless, of course, you are here just to jerk us around and have none. Prove me wrong.

I like trolls. They're just so cute & adorable when their feelings get hurt.

I saw those offset creeks with my own eyes, thank you.

All skeptics have to do is be skeptical. Is there a limit? Is there a preferred catagory? Are you making up your own rules?

Here you go, Haitus.

In your profile, you claim to be an engineer. I ask: in what field? Do you drive model train sets?

Einstein wasn't the one who tested the phenomena of light-bending; it was Eddington. But perhaps he was in on the con? Or perhaps you need to pick better programs to watch on TV. >>

Actually, the program did say it was Eddington, but he reported to Einsrein, and was in a position to doctor the before and after negatives.
I saw shots of the actual negatives myself, and with them blown up 300 times, it wasn't all that difficult to stick pins into the positives, especially since Einsteins future and credibility depended on him being right. However, this deception had no effect on the average person, only the talking heads, so it really didn't matter.

Again, Einstein has been proven right time and again (GPS works because Einstein was right). Your stupid "conspiracy" story is worthless.
