How about the constant entry of meteorite matter over eons of time.

Yes... subduction... which is conveniently never mentioned, is the reason why the Earth is not, nor ever has "expanded". If it was expanding, where is the material for the expansion coming from? Talk about a fantasy. It's pure pseudo science garbage.

The real question is, how can we prevent these people from reproducing?

It looks like the sun will be darn low nearing the end of the event, for us here in northern Utah. Anybody have plans to travel westward a bit for this?
For me it's a question of "Is it worth the effort?".
Even from SLC we'll see 1st and 2nd contacts when the Sun's over half way up the sky. We'll even see minimum separation though only 15? above the horizon.
Going to the west coast will put the Sun a bit higher in the sky but there's no place in the continental US where 3rd or 4th contacts will be seen.
One could travel to BC or Alaska where the entire event will be above the horizon but chances of clouds are 50% higher than here in Utah.
Hawaii is another possibility with all of the event being visible from there (though egress is very low in the sky). Plus the chance of clouds is a few percent less than here.
Were it happening in cold weather months I just might consider Hawaii but going there in June does not appeal to me.
And, besides, is it worth all of the cost and hassle of going a great distance just to see Venus travel a little further across Sol's disk? To me it's not.
Weather permitting I'll almost certainly go to SPOC and use the refractor and DayStar filter. Even from there the Sun will still be at least a few degrees above the local horizon at minimum separation.
Plus right as the Sun is setting Saturn will be about 1/3 of the way up the eastern sky making it a good target to close the day's festivities on.
All-in-all, 2012 is shaping up to be a pretty big deal. Annular eclipse in May, transit of Venus in June and the End of the World (part 2) star party in December.

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 ?delirium tremens?. Where do these people come from? They have way too much time on their hands if they?re 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 guy?s theory how did the Himalayas arise? I suppose ?they were inordinately high to begin with? would be his reply. Remember, he said plates never run into each other, they only ?grow? apart.
Chuck replied he did not see the word subduction in the little bit that he read. Had he listened to ?Press Clip #0? he would have found out why. The guy completely discounts subduction from the rip. If you discount subduction, then Wegener?s theory wouldn?t 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. What?s my comment: It?s 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
