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.

Can't be done unless you also take into consideration the stratigraphic,
geomagnetic, and petrologic similarities across the oceans and bring the
continents together so that that data is properly aligned. This was done
with great success for the Atlantic basin. It cannot be done for the
Pacific basin because the the stratigraphic, geomagnetic, and the
petrographic data do not coincide.

(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.)

Right. It does support plate tectonics. It doesn't support expansion.

Be sure and show old crust you claim
existed and all subduction zones needed to achieve your results.

No problemo:

There are hundreds more examples where those came from. Need more? Google
is your friend.

Next.

(The old crust got subducted away.)

Not all of it. See above.
