The video is a load of crap.

Explain why you think it is a load of crap.

Because it shows an expanding earth

That is not the way it works in Science. You must support your assertion
using arguments.

Because the expanding earth violates the laws of physics.
Namely, conservation of energy.

To know means all possibilities have been eliminated, and to know all
possibilities for this question means having all the questions
answered, something you have not done, like the most basic question,
where mass comes from.

How you know is then a greater mystery. Personally think it has to do
with believing rather than knowing.

We had some other nutbar here claiming
the earth grew some insane amount in the last few hundred million
years, when it was pointed out the amount of energy required to
convert to matter was some huge multiple of the sun's output
of energy. Aha:
<cabal-slrne8lq28.1urt.dgreig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

That is assuming the 4% of matter known closes the question. Which is
just stupidity.




The EE theory as put forward by the noted crank Don Findlay
does the following:
- violate conservation of energy
- violate conservation of momentum
- violate conservation of angular momemtum

Momentum? We do not even know why the Earth has the spin it does

As for violating conservation of energy and angular momentum is the
result of thinking you know all there is to know.

Whether dark matter/energy is involved is almost irrelevant as to
whether it provides any answers, it is the fact you are working with
4% known to reach your conclusions which is appalling.


- lack any known mechanism for creating matter de_novo in planetary cores
- violate the evidence of the Earth's orbital motion as shown in
the fossil record

A handful of fossils as evidence against 70% of the Earth's surface is
the correct way to frame the question.


So yeah, until you nutters can come up with answers to the above,
you're basically fucked as far as being anything but jokes.

Which means your believe is safe, as long as no one looks at the
questions, and if they do, you will throw stones to prevent any
examination. Religion has always been the enemy of science, and the
real problem, you cannot tell the difference.
