How do you cast away the fact that the "increase in earthquakes"
prophesied in the 4 gospels, are now occuring?
By our improved ability to detect and record them. Very few seismic
stations in the stone age and all that.

You're wrong.

They are "increasing".

There is 0 doubt.

Clearly the good Dr. Chalko didn't do a complete historical search,
even in the readily-available lists from the USGS (http://
earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/historical.php). Consider 1957,
for example. Two earthquakes above M8, ten between M8 and M7. That
indicates about the same energy release in 1957 as in 2005. And then
there is 1960, where one event, the M9.5 Chile earthquake of May 22
released more energy than roughly eleven thousand earthquakes of
magnitude 7. Then there was 1964 - the magnitude 9.2 Good Friday
quake in Alaska, the equivalent of only a thousand magnitude 7
shocks. Indeed, if you look at total energy release over the last
sixty years instead of the last thirty one discovers that total annual
energy release is decreasing (well, certainly nothing recent matches
the 1955-1965 decade). Sorry about that, but that is how it is.
