I have no accademic qualifications in science so I am not constrained by convention. I loved science at school and excelled at it without even attending lectures or doing any study etc. It just seemed so natural.

When it comes to the theories expounded by the current scientific leadership I try to look only at the facts not the results of statistics that can always be fiddled to suit the expounders theories.

When it comes to the question of whether the earth is expanding we have very few facts because we have no conclusive mearsurments only theories and also do we mean expanding or increasing in size.

In regarding expanding we only have theories and statistics so there is no conclusive proof one way or the other.

In regarding increasing in size we do know that there are millions of tons of matter being attracted to the earth by gravity but we only have estimates of how much is arriving. Against this we need to subtract the amount of matter that is being converted into energy that is being radiated or used to heat up our core. Does anyone have this data?

These theories and controversies are what the scientific fraternity expound in order to stir up enough interest for governments to pay their way and of course the old adage comes to the forefront "He who pays the piper calls the tune"
