Then where did all the water come from?

water, as abundant as it seems, covers 75% of the Earth's surface, but it is little compared to the total mass of the Earth. the water, of course came from somewhere towards the center of earth. i sense doubt in my logic. a simple google search of "how the moon formed" might ease your doubts

that is one source of good information.

Your first mistake is passing theory off as fact.
Which means you've discredited yourself and I wont believe a damn thing you tell me.

LOL. Like anyone cares what you believe. You're such a loser.

Wow we better watch out for the moon, looks like a sneaky bastard. Sure its "orbiting" us now to lull us into a false sense of complacency and then "POW!" it does a barrel roll and slams right into us. :Q

Yeah, except that meteor was moving in ultra-mega-super-slow mo during the final stages of impact. It would be need to see a more realistic, not-slowed down (or at least not as much) version.

Either way, we're trapped down here, we're screwed man, we're screwed.:)

The radius of that was > 1200 miles. That is not 'extnction class' that is earth failure.

That video was pretty sweet. I wonder how it would feel on the other side of the earth when the meteor first hit.

It's been OCed too much and was overheated :)

Oh, sure! "The extended service plan's a gimmick," you said. "That's how they get you," you said. Now look where we are!:|
