[Rockhounds] Article: Rain of Diamonds

Thu Jul 10 19:21:05 PDT 2008

I did, and that's why I said what I said.
Stuff hits the earth all the time. When stuff hits the earth, it could cause
things to be displaced by the energy of the impact. There is actually a lot
of science behind the idea that the last ice age came to an end because of
an event such as this. And I think personally that billions of gallons of
rushing water from the ice melting (regardless of what triggered it frankly)
has the capacity to transport vast amounts of material from point a to point
b.. So either scenario is very plausible in my opinion. I mean how else
would material move from point a to b.. Thru Water or the air.. Or I suppose
continental drift for that matter. 

Anyway, looks like a great book I just bought it from Amazon I'll check it
out thanks for the rec.

The best way to look at these "theories" is to use Ockham's Razor:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_Razor>

That's the principal that states that the simplest explanation is usually
correct. When you hear hoof beats think horse not zebra. No comets are
needed to explain the presence of diamonds or gold.
