Line 1:
Line 1: − + − During an Ice Age, lowered sea levels due to the water being tied up in glaciers and ice caps would result in [[land bridge]]s in some places where there are now [[ocean]]s and [[strait]]s. − + + +
clarified misleading statements here
An '''Ice Age''' is a period of [[Earth]]'s history when [[ice]] sheets covered a much larger part of the [[planet]] than is currently the case.
An '''Ice Age''' is a theoretical period of [[Earth]]'s history when [[ice]] sheets covered a much larger part of the [[planet]] than is currently the case. This theory was developed to attempt to reconcile [[atheistic]] insistence on an [[Old Earth]] with observed evidence suggesting a [[Young Earth]].
According to secular [[geology]], there have been many Ice Ages, the oldest hypothesized one being 2.3 [[billion]] years ago, and the most recent finishing around 11,500 years ago.<ref name="WBE" /><ref name="CAB">Batten, 2007</ref>
During an Ice Age, sea levels were supposedly much lower due to the water being tied up in glaciers and ice caps would result in [[land bridge]]s in some places where there are now [[ocean]]s and [[strait]]s.

* The study of the ice ages is remarkably interdisciplinary. To be an expert in this field, a scientist must have a comprehensive knowledge of [[geology]], [[physics]], [[glaciology]], [[oceanography]], [[atmospheric science]], [[celestial mechanics]], [[solar system]] [[astrophysics]], [[cosmic rays]], [[solar physics]], [[interplanetary dust]], [[climate modeling]], [[spectral analysis]], and [[statistics]]. As a consequence, there are no real experts.<ref> [http://muller.lbl.gov/pages/IceAgeBook/preface.html Ice Ages and Astronomical Causes]</ref>
