How does the song go? "and still a man believes what he wants to believe and disregards the rest".
I have been surprised by the beliefs of many people I consider smarter than me. It does seem far to many people don't trust science. Thank you all for the comments. When my friend told me about this I was
skeptical. It just did not make sense to me.
I watched the video's in the link I sent and it was entertaining. Just did not make a lot of sense.
What is sad is I think my friend really believes this and he is no dummy.

I'm doing my minor in Geology.
I share your sentiments Dave.

Another case of intellectual âdelirium tremensâ. Where do these people come from? They have way too much time on their hands if theyâre coming up with this phantasmagoric blather. They need to get a job.
By the way, how did those marine fossil assemblages come to be at the top of the Himalayas if plates never crash into one another? I guess those mollusks just felt frisky one day and climbed to 29,000 feet. Under this guyâs theory how did the Himalayas arise? I suppose âthey were inordinately high to begin withâ would be his reply. Remember, he said plates never run into each other, they only âgrowâ apart.
Chuck replied he did not see the word subduction in the little bit that he read. Had he listened to âPress Clip #0â he would have found out why. The guy completely discounts subduction from the rip. If you discount subduction, then Wegenerâs theory wouldnât make a lot of sense. I had to temper my intellectual pursuit at this point. I was beginning to wretch.
Oh, sorry. I got a little carried away. Whatâs my comment: Itâs nonsense.

Hi, All
I was talking to a fellow astronomer the other evening and he told me to go to a web site and check out expanding earth, mars etc. theory.
Here is the link:

This is kind of an interesting Idea.
Any comments
