Can we please not go here again on the caver list. Can we please take this to the OT list. Thanks.

Most cavers acquire a uniformitarian worldview along with their mother’s milk, so it is not surprising that they climb breakdown piles by tugging at the keystones held there by mudsnot and the long memory of mother earth. Seeing such, I avoid their company, and thereby the consequences of their presumptions. As they are squashed like cockroaches many experience a “deathbed conversion” to the Velikovskian view that not only life, but even geology, is an ephemeral phenomenon. As to the noise that it all makes, it is nothing compared to the noise made by philosophers such as Bishop Berkeley and John Locke whose words echo through the empty chambers of academia where no one is listening.
