When was Greenland not covered by ice? Evolutionists say it was a million years ago, but was it so?
Over the
years, opinion has shifted about whether Greenland has been continuously
covered by ice since the start of the Pleistocene epoch, roughly 2.7 million
years ago. But a new fossil discovery, described in a study published Aug. 5 in
the journal PNAS, "provides the first direct
evidence that the center — not just the edges — of Greenland's ice sheet melted
away in the recent geological past," according to a statement from the University of
Vermont.
But recent history
tells a different story. Greenland was ice-free about a thousand years ago, when
Vikings discovered America.
