The Sands of Mars

The Martian landscape has been observed since the first telescopes and the cause of its evident erosion features is the source of scientific speculation which is an early foray into the world of SciFi.

Diversification of Fishes

Billions of fish died during Noah's flood. Whole tribes were buried in sediment as it fell out of the sky. Wait, what? How does sediment fall out of the sky? Good question. We're going to have fun with that tomorrow.
