Re: Detailed ocenaic floor analysis. What does it really tell us?

You make the claim that McCarthy was discredited, you back up your
claim. Period. I won't read the whole google archives just because
you're lazy to tell me when and where this discussion took place.

The paper contains a map and a description of the map. None of the data
that was used to make the map was included in the paper. You know what data
is, right? Charts, graphs, analysis, numbers? He talks about geomagnetic
data but doesn't include that data in the report. So how is anyone
supposed to check the data against his interpretation?

Jeez... Georgie. Are you a scientist?
Do you know what represents the numbers in brackets all over the text of
that paper? We call them REFERENCES. So I suggest you to read these
references in the paper before making dumb remarks like above.



Guess what? These data are in agreement with EE.

You're living in a dream world. EE doesn't even recognize that ancient
oceans existed much less any landmasses older than Pangea.

Then you should update your notes on EE. It is perfectly accepted there
was water on the earth before 200 MA, but not in ocean bassins like we
know them.

EE says that
the earth began expanding 250 million years ago, and they use as evidence
the growth of the atlantic and Pacific oceans.

wrong again. EE says that a particular phase of growth started 200
millions MA ago. This phase corresponds to the spreading of current
seafloors.


They've never once
discussed Rhodinia, not in any paper I've seen.
Of course, rhodinia never existed!
rhodinia is just an attempt by PT theorists to explain data showing that
the pacific was closed. The only issue is that they made a 500 millions
years error.

And they have repeatedly
insisted that there were no ocean basins before 250 million years ago, and
cite as evidence the fact that no ancient oceans exist (ignoring the fact
that there ample evidence of ancient oceans, as I've pointed out dozens of
times).

Absolutly. The oceans bassin as we know them did not exist. But it is
clear that the Earth already expanded by rifting as demonstrated by
the discovery of ophiolites sequences 3.8 BYA old. After all, Ophiolites
are just the products of underwater rifts.


The paper you cite shows just such an ancient ocean, and DOESN'T
show all the continents in one solid continuous landmass that circles the
globe.

Another very clever remark. Of course it doesn't! They're workin inside
the PT framework!


They have a much smaller earth starting 250 million years
ago that was one continuous continental crustal landmas (where the water
went if there were no oceans, and where it came from after, they never
explain).

Your lack of knowledge of EE is embarrassing. Water is continuously
feeding the ocean through the hydrothermal vents all along the rifts.
Massive amounts of water were identified in the mantle not too long ago:

George, I definitively suggest you to keep you a bit better informed
about EE theory. NCGT's newsletter should be a good start:
