i refer members back to the link supplied by mythi below. note the geology of ohio has three coal seams, each capped by marine deposits or limestone. i wish we had a trained geologist among us, but if we did my comments may drive him away. its undeniable that the sea has intruded into ohio three times at least, as revealed by the coal seams. this runs contrary to my earlier conclusions somewhat, but only portions of the state were sea covered.

you will note how the geologists date it by reference and relationship of the strata to other dated strata. this kind of dating is a house of cards, if an error exists they all tumble. in my mind, its certain that millions of years were not involved. proving it with no background training in geology is an awesome task. it may be even more difficult to find an open-minded geologist to assist us in redating the record.
consider the given in this article that reports what various geologists have noted. a layer of blue clay lies under all of the coal. the blue clay is thought to derive from shale formations that were grinded and decomposed and dragged by glaciers. consequently, it seems obvious that the coal seams date after the glaciations of the pleistocene. so its likely that there were three inundations by the sea within the last 300,000 years. is this not logically so? if this is correct, the need for new thinking in geology is called for, and a bold person can help science, and become famous. more important, we would have a more accurate record of ancient america, and so many other considerations would not be skewed by such errors.

"The Masters Revealed" states the situation well:
"There is darn little non-partisan writing about Theosophy and this book
fills a real need. Johnson shows that the Theosophical movement is
intertwined with the intellectual and political history of its time. He has
marshaled an impressive body of evidence to show that the Theosophical
masters are neither disembodied spirits nor are they fictions but are
specific historical personages whose identities were disguised for various
reasons."
Theos-talk is living proof that darn little non-partisan writing about
Theosophy is to be had amid the bitter internecine battling among
theosophists. I'll report back if any black magic that may fall off the
pages of Paul Johnson's book, as Carlos is convinced that it does. After
the hissing and spitting that Carlos did over "The Masters Revealed," I
ordered it to see what it was really about.
HPB said the "masters" were living men and spoke fondly of her master's
sister who had a baby and the students in attendance while she visited him.
Business plans proposed in the Mahatmas' letters indicated they had
excellent understanding of their societies and were limited, in some cases,
to their native languages. These factors support HPB's claims that her
teachers were living man who knew the mundane world well.
Also, I'm only posting on the list to complete three promises I made:
Report back on "The Masters Revealed," make scans of a Soviet published book
on research in the Atlantic that points to fresh water vegetation and
animals that once existed on land masses that are now sunken, and report
back on the lawsuit TSA filed against the Tacoma Lodge. (I don't want the
karma of unfulfilled promises, especially in the environment characteristic
of Theos-talk.)
Best regards,
