Water created life in order to have itself carried uphill.
Name: Dr. Dave
Age: 36
I hold a PhD in geology (2008). My thesis examined how the Irish landscape changed during the Neogene, I discovered that Neogene tectonism created topography, due to the fluctuating intraplate compression of North Atlantic Ridge push forces and the Alpine Orogeny. I also, studied Epithermal mineralisation in the area, and I discovered a ~12 million year old fault line using radiometric dating. The bottom line - Ireland has very young mountains made of old rock.
Country: Ireland

Hi Dr. Dave I just thought that I would pop by to thank you for all the interesting refs. you have provided :-)
Please understand it is not my desire to argue (in the modern english sense) about the subject I am really asking questions to aid with my personnal understanding on the top, I do take note of the works of others but tend to leave most subject inconclued and base my opion on the understand gain and the reflection given.

Hey, I have Asperger's too. You seem like an awesome person. I agree with what everyone else seems to be saying -- you seem like a very intelligent person. Thanks for taking the time to answer a couple of my questions.

You're a smart man, sir. And I'm so glad you're intelligent enough to see the social problems religion causes. You are proof that aspies are intelligent people. Congratulations on your PhD. I hope to get mine in Atmospheric Science after finishing up my bachelor's in Chemistry.

Heya! I'm from Dublin, final year Biotech student at DCU. I think I'm an Aspie, but haven't been diagnosed yet. Is your social group still going in Trinity? When do ye meet up? Would be really cool to talk to some other Adult Aspies since I hardly know anyone in college (and I'm there 5 years!) Elaine
