That's right. Dolphins don't have fine motory abilities. They don't have the dexterity to build the things we build. I think that would be important in evolutionary terms.

I find it plausible that whales or dolphins might have intelligence beyond what we appreciate.
I don't find it plausible they have technology we don't know about. Just for one example from a long list, opposable thumbs are sometimes cited as one reason modern man was able to advance technologically, to be able to construct and use tools needed for technology. Obviously, this is something whales and dolphins lack. I can make a much longer list but just that one thing might kill the theory.
Maybe an octopus does, though? Maybe the OP is looking in the wrong place.
Honestly though I don't mean any disrespect to what's happening in japan. On the other hand, what's happening in japan is not the only thing happening in the world right now. It's painful to watch.edit on 16-3-2011 by jonnywhite because: (no reason given)

OK then, I'll play. Precisely HOW are they supposed to have caused the quakes? Beating their tails on the bedrock? How about simultaneously forcing air out of their blowholes while upside down on the bedrock?
I see you theorise Atlantean technology. How do these whales and dolphins operate it? With their fins? Or have they suddenly sprouted arms and fingers?
All these questions need to be answered, meanwhile I'll go back to twiddling my thumbs.

Between dolphins and whales creating earthquakes and tsunamis,a monthly prediction about our extinction and the planet being destroyed,some mental midget believing that an episode of the simpsons predicted 9/11,etc,etc,etc, it would appear the new slogan should be "condone & embrace ignorance".
I spent many years lurking here because there were interesting topics to read with the morning coffee.Now there's stuff like this.I am pleading with those of you mentally disturbed people who post things like this.Next time you have a thought,let it go.
Beating bed rock with their tails and simultaneously forcing air out their blowholes.
