No worries Kim. You and I may differ here. I like Grassy Knoll type theories (Yes, I believe Oswald did it), to a point, I don't believe them but they are interesting to listen to from social science perspective as well as a logical argument. Adams has a unique way of explaining plate evolution, I thought it rather creative and elegant, worth a second look as opposed to just blowing it off as pseudo-science before we know anything about it because it doesn't conform with orthodox science is missing the fun. Cosmological Expansion: No Adams didn't bring that in but I was waiting for it, I brought it in as teaser and to muddy the water.

My apologies to Robert if my comment sounded demeaning. Didn't mean to. I, too like a good polemic now and then. I can't get the right plugin to load to be able to view Neal Adams' videos, but what I could read sure sounded off-the-wall. I admit that as soon as I read anything that even approaches a shooter-on-the-grassy-knoll mentality I tend to dismiss anything else that person may have to say. (Adams, not you Robert.) Anyway I didn't see that Adams was trying to compare an expanding earth to cosmological expansion. Did I miss something? I think Stephen had a good question, and I don't have an answer. Can anyone else address that? Kim
