Sorry I neglected to mention I found this growing Earth stuff when searching the growing list of conspiracy theories... the growing Earth thing was found in a list of "five top conspiracies"
.... I love conspiracy theories but in the same way I love Lord of the Rings or similar fiction ..great entertainment value but no reflection upon reality.
My point was really ... is it not interesting how the wildest ideas will get a following and ignore the accumulation of tested science, in this case I would have thought the current tectonic plate theory was beyond doubt.
I was discussing the matter with a friend and without considering the accumulated science he seized upon the idea that if space was expanding that should mean matter was also expanding (sorry my backhanded way of introducing it above) so therefore this new idea must be correct. I tried another tack... well if the expanding Earth idea is correct that lends support to the current expanding universe so it confirms current science rather than set it aside..no no no...the art of cherry picking is wonderful is it not
.
He saw the "drag" marks on the floor of the Pacific Ocean as more evidence in support of a growing Earth rather than seeing same as being evidence in support of the current tectonic plate theory
.
The proponents of the growing Earth idea also determine that as they are correct that the past 100 years of science can be happily thrown out unburdening us from a century of lies to live in the light of the truth
.
Why is it that folk are so happy to believe in stuff that leaves one wanting to bash your head on a brick wall
.
AND today I find there is a flat Earth society
google it if you want a laugh but I assure you these folk are alive and well.
AND I suppose I should apologize for the way I tried to make my point about folk grasping at nonsense and calling it "new" science... how can they do this when clearly push gravity is the only new science
Thanks for indulging my dummy spit.
