Growing Earth

Jun 30, 2005 15:35


Take a look at this. This guy's got some pretty compelling arguments for his hypothesis that the earth is growing, rejecting the Pangaea hypothesis currently used to explain the formation of and current layout of the continents. I'm not 100% sure he's right, but right now his hypothesis is making a hell of a lot more sense than what I was taught ( Read more... )

SCIENCE CANNOT DENY THE EXISTANCE OF THE GLORIOUS FOUR-DAY EXPANDING EARTH! EXISTANCE DEPENDS ON EXPANDING EARTH!

DESTROY AND KILL GEOLOGY TEACHERS OF INFERIOR TECTONIC PLATE THEORY!

I HAVE $100,000 THAT SAYS EXPANDING EARTH IS TRUTH!

SOUL FIRE IS POWERED BY THE GROWTH OF GLORIOUS EXPANDING EARTH AND EXISTS IN HELL SOLELY TO BURN THE SOULS OF UNBELIEVERS!

That's fucking crazy, man. In a good way, I think.

The water issue could easily be solved. Who's to say the "small Earth" wasn't like today's Europa? It could have been covered in water, no visible landmass at all. As the Earth [in theory] got bigger, the water spread out and settled into today's oceans. Bada bing, bada boom.

But then you have to answer the question of "Where did all this extra planet come from?"

He mentioned geodes in one part of his writeup. It's possible that the earth is forming the same way, with a crunchy diamond center!

I'm not saying it's truth, but it's certainly an interesting hypothesis, and it's irresponsible to immediately disregard a new hypothesis that fixes so many problems with the current one.

The good thing is that he doesn't have to show where it comes from--someone else can do that.

I'm most curious to hear what your uncle thinks of this. I can't think of a way for the "less gravity in the good old days" thing to be true, unless Earth ate another planet a couple hundred million years ago, and didn't burp.
