What Cause Earthquake especially the Devastating Sumatran Tsunami

To understand the cause of Earthquakes, it is important to appreciate that
earthquakes are caused by the slipping of the earth's tectonic plates. It
is the sudden jerk, the jolt that caused a sudden release of vast amount of
energy, which is translated into tsunami when it occurs under the sea or
into seismic wave if it occur on land. In Physics, we say it is the
transformation from Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy in accordance with
the Law of Conservation of Energy. The pertinent point is the need to
understand what cause the tectonic plates to slip.

We learn from Genesis that in the beginning, God created a perfect world,
devoid of earthquake. Subsequently God created Adam and Eve to live in the
Garden of Eden. As according to Genesis, they never experienced any
earthquake, because Eden was a perfect place. It was a place of great
peace and free from sorrow of any kind. Man coexisted with all the insects,
the birds and the animals and nobody died, man nor beast, for there were
no disease, no killings nor death. Every living creatures lived on grass
and plants including the lions, tigers, leopards and cheetah. In other
words, every creature was a herbivore by God's design..

There were all kinds of animals in Eden including the kangaroos, the
penguins, the polar bears even dinosaurs. And despite that the location
may look hostile to these animals, God provided that they did fit
comfortably into the environment. The only difference between them and the
animals today is that everyone of them do not possess a belly button, for
they were created all by God, and were not derived from their mother's
womb. Also they did ot have sex organs for they had no need of the means
of reproduction, as there were no deaths.

As according to Genesis, in the Garden of Eden, God had planted trees
bearing a special type of fruit which if eaten would give Man " the
knowledge of Good and Evil" Meaning that Adam and Eve by our standards,
would be considered mentally retarded, a nincompoop with a brain of a 6
years old, unable to differentiate between what is good and evil. So as
to keep them in this moronic state for some reason that we are unable to
fathom, God had forbidden them to eat this special fruit.

Unfortunately, Genesis did not specify what this magic fruit was, but we
can make a good guess. We can see that both Adam and Eve were perfectly
aware that the fruit was a no-go but certainly there was a reason why the
fruit was specifically attractive to Eve but not to Adam. So there must be
something in the shape of the fruit or smell that made it irresistible to
Eve not Adam. It was something that appeal to her female basic instinct.
Therefore we conclude that it was its phallic shape. It was the banana.

So Eve peeled the banana, ate it and gave it to Adam. Everybody knows
even a toddler, that the banana peel is a very smooth and dangerous object
not to be discarded simply on the ground. Unfortunately, that happened and
the peels were washed by rain into the Tigris River and landed up in the
Indian Ocean.

We know from history that after our foreparents were expelled from Eden,
the World became imperfect and the Earth crust broke up into Tectonic
Plates. Why the Sumatran Plates slipped was that the banana peels in the
Indian Ocean accidentally got lodged between the Plates, causing them to
slip and resulting in the devastating tsunami.

>From this investigation we conclude that the cause of earthquake and
therefore the tsunami is the original sin of our fore parents.
