Hello,
I need advices to curb a crank who believes in Earth expansion pseudo-
theory.
Grasshopper, you know nothing. May I suggest that before you go
expressing YOUR opinion that you do your homework and actually
quantify your statement by providing factual evidence to disprove EE.
Grasshopper eater, before you attempt to tell others what they should and
should not do, perhaps you should point out how the rules have changed such
that people who support the current established paradigm are required to
prove or disprove anyone else's theory. It is for EE supporters to provide
not only a theory that better explains the facts than does plate tectonics
and make testable and repeatable predictions from that theory, it is also
up to EErs to provide such an explanation in such a manner that it is
falsifiable, testable, and repeatable by others. Well? We are still
waiting, Mr. Maxlow, if that is truly who you are?
Ok, George, using the pattern on the ocean floor recreate the previous
position of the continents.
(You imply that George should use only that evidence. Why this
restriction? Oh, I forgot: other evidence such as magnetic fields in
igneous rocks supports plate tectonics.)
Be sure and show old crust you claim
existed and all subduction zones needed to achieve your results.
(The old crust got subducted away.)
You didn't answer the question. Why do you think that merely casting
doubt on plate tectonics supports Expanding Earth? When I pointed out
the problems with Expanding Earth in my other post, I did not try to
prove plate tectonics; merely to show problems in Expanding Earth. Even
if there was no other theory to explain Earth's geology, Expanding Earth
would still be wrong. EE can be falsified on its own terms,
independently of the existence of other hypotheses.
How? It is not a hypothesis that the Earth is round: it is an
observable fact. Neither is it a hypothesis that it is not (after all)
at the centre of the solar system: that is a statement of fact. And
neither is it a hypothesis that it has increased in size. That too is
an observable fact. The only 'hypotheses' that are around (and Plate
Tectonics is an amalgamation of at least three) derive freom the
assumption that it cannot possibly have got bigger ("...Otherwise it
would be getting bigger...).
Can you not support
EE independently?
