The hard part is now finding predictions of both theories that differ
measurably: very measurably. This is actually why I posted the
'proseminar' on arced island arcs, which plate tectonics fails to
predict. However, you wish to find a variety of useful predictions
that you hope are unrelated.
For a start, on a growing Earth, India should remain close to Asia and
there must exist a continuity in strata. This continuity exists. Case
already closed.
Because I have no time even to write papers long overdue for attempted
publication, I'm an unlikely candidate to study both theories and
attempt this. However, those who do should be clear about which layers
of the Earth need to expand for your theory to work: the crust, the
oceanic crust, the continental crust, the crust and upper mantle, &c.
That is not an expansion, but a growth. Material formed at depth (where,
we don't know but it might be at the external core) migrate toward the
surface and get emplaced as new terranes. Stretching or overhtrusting of
existing lithosphere is also a result of the process.
