Re: AIG comment on the Ice Age

My impression is that the argument first ran that 40 feet or whatever it
was represented 60 years or so at the plane site, so 1 foot at the top of
the ice cap could only represent 1.5 years. Obviously, there is no need
to count layers, for there is the inexorable math: 60/40=1.5. The same
mathematical rigor extrapolates the recent measurements of the earth's
magnetic field to prove that the earth must be young. You folks do
believe in the inexorability of math (maths for Michael), don't you?
