Global Warming May Have Killed the Dinosaurs 269
The Fun Guy sent in a link to the American Society for Microbiology site, your leading news source for everything between nano and macro. The site is featuring a story about new research into the KT barrier extinction: the period in history where the dinosaurs went extinct, along with a number of other families of species. For a number of years scientists have theorized that an impact on the Yucatan peninsula was responsible for the species crash, but microbiological examination of marine organisms of the time indicate life persisted for another 300,000 years after the 'Chicxulub impact'. The researchers at Princeton who made this discovery theorize that global warming caused by a volcanic eruption in India is a more likely culprit for the world-wide devastation. The article generalizes that there is no 'smoking gun' for this event, and further research is required.

However, the bible nowhere mentions that there were no cars before the Flood. Granted, it also doesn't mention that there were cars. But if there were no cars, there surely shouldn't have been such a drastic global warming. So the Flood proves that there were cars before. The bible also reports that the Flood came due to the sins of the people. Therefore we can conclude that driving cars is a sin.
