Phil, great article! I really did enjoy your passage – especially with all the humor. However, I MUST note that I find it very interesting when Christians explain how GOD created our planet. All the details were left out in Genesis, so I look to explanations such as yours. Although, I’m well aware that Christians don’t half believe science books. Most Christians believe this world is special– I find that being extremely naive, but that’s just me and millions of other scientists around the planet. Anyway, again….great stuff!</description>

		<description>But if 42,6km of difference between the maximum and minimum diameter makes the Earth not round enough, that would mean that a billiard ball of 6cm of mean diameter would have to have a maxium difference of around 0,2mm between its maximum and minimum diameter.

Is that level of acuracy even possible? (I&#039;m not assuming anything, I really don&#039;t know)</description>
