message: The article states that Rodinia is the oldest supercontinent.  What about the Columbia (supercontinent) entry?  The Columbia article has no supporting links; is Columbia a reasonably accepted scientific hypothesis?
:The article says that Rodinia is the "oldest-known", which should be taken to mean the oldest for which there is widespread acceptance in the field. There have been other, earlier pre-Cambrian supercontinents proposed, none of which (owing chiefly to a paucity of surviving data after so long a period) are widely agreed upon- these remain hypotheses only with scant evidence indeed. Presumably Columbia is one such proposal.--cjllw | TALK 01:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

message: :I still do not see any connection between the Rodinia supercontinent and The Urantia Book, a spiritual and philosophical book that discusses God, science, religion, history, philosophy, and destiny (this is where Urantia is redirected). Could you please explain it here before reverting me again? Thanks in advance. --Friendly Neighbour 06:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Do we really need to quote all of McMenamin's chapter 8? The most significant quote is: Of course I am being selective here in my choice of quotations, and there are reams of scientifically untenable material in The Urantia Book. Quite simply, McMenamin blew it with that speculative bit - no clue why he decided to promote some new age religious nonsense in what was supposedly a serious popular account of Ediacaran fauna. See a review here. Whatever, we surely don't need to hype that religion or pseudoscience stuff in a geology article. Vsmith 01:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

text: There is nothing personal or biased in opposing mixing science with religion. One is the sum of knowledge, the other is a system of beliefs. --Friendly Neighbour 06:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

text: So perhaps one of those mysterious unknown uratian authors read something written by A. Holmes or another geologist who kept trying to fit the accumulating data to the theory of continental drift during the period of time when most geologists were ignoring it. So what? The urantia book remains a religious or speculative narrative with no scientific credibility and that just happened to get one bit more or less right. There remains no reason to link a science article to it even if McMenamin cited it in awe and wonder - he simply overstated the case and his credibility in the science community may have suffered from it (judging by published reviews). Sorry 'bout impede(ing) serious scientific discovery and promoting personal bias and ignorance - please read WP:NPA. Vsmith 02:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Rodinia]] and [[Urantia]]? 

message: Section: Geodynamics->Influence on paleoclimate and life
Paragraph 3
"Low temperatures may have been exaggerated during the early stages of continental rifting."
Is this supposed to mean that we may have exaggerated the lowness of temperatures &c. or is the writer trying to say that low temperature predominated?

message: Here's a piece of information I can't seem to find anywhere: What modern day landmass does Amazonia correspond to? If someone could add this information to the Wikipedia article, that would be great, because I'm probably not the only one that's curious about that.

replies: text: The Amazonian craton corresponds to the northeastern part of South America (I think most of northern Brazil, French Guyana, Surinam and Venezuela). The information should be included in the article about the craton, which doesn't exist yet. Woodwalker (talk) 20:01, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This section needs to be more specific on what continents formed Rodinia. There is no mention of Arctica for example. It just uses terms like North American craton, East European craton, Amazonian craton, West African craton, Rio de la Plata craton, São Francisco craton, Congo craton, Kalahari craton, North China craton and South China craton.
