McCarthy's paper has already been refuted, Flo.

Then give me the link to the post.

He has been refuted here in at least a hundred different posts in at least
a dozen different threads. The best one I recall is the video presentation
he made that was posted here and ripped to shreds. But if you can find his
entire dissertation (which was never published, by the way, and as far as I
know, never accepted for his PhD), I'll gladly do so here.

North east and North west Australia has common features with West
canada
and North east asia, respectively.

Hogwash. Prove your point or get off it.

Whatever. It's published in Science. Look at the lower left figure on
page 1380:

Flo, there is nothing in this paper that supports EE. In fact, the first
paragraph clearly supports PT:

"The Earth's surface is divided into a dozen (at least) tectonic plates
that either drift apart, creating new oceanic crust, or collide, generating
mountain belts such as the himalayas.".

Well, gee, he's just described plate tectonics, not EE. In addition, all of
his maps show abundant subduction zones that EE says can't exist. Whether
or not Northeast and/or Northwest Australia has common features with West
Canada (and it is certainly not clear that it does, since all we have here
is a map and no data to back it up) during the formation of Rhodinia is
irrelevant to whether or not expansion occurs. It looks to me to be his
'best fit', and since he isn't sure where Siberia goes, that entire portion
of the map may be problematic.

The author clearly indicates a large ocean existing around the periphery of
Rhodinia along with the abundant subduction zones, so obviously he
subscribes to the same non-expanding earth to which every other PT
geologist subscribes. What on earth made you think that this paper
supports EE?

You're just a bad troll.

Yeah, how terrible of me to insist on evidence to back up claims.
