Re: [video] Expanding Earth Theory said by haamster:said by dolphins:Had to open with IE. Firefox won't open it for me. Back to the theory; when you apply Occam's Razor, it has to be true. Edit: Occam's Razor simplified: "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one." How is this the simplest solution? Where is all this volume that the earth is gaining come from? And the oceans? And if all land is expanding, why are there mountains? Plus, in order to support this claim, the proponents say the earth is not only gaining volume, but mass. And not only is it gaining mass, but it is creating it out of nothing. From the inside (since it's causing the plates to spread out). At the rate of 3,108 cubic miles a year. This seems like it should be way down on the simplest solution scale.
A snapshot if you will, before you edit your original post again. I will try to answer your questions with the best of my knowledge after I have slept a few hours.

the theory is bullshit

Snapshot away.
It was edited for math since it seems quite difficult to find a concensus on the surface area and average diameter of the earth.
Looking at my post again, I could edit it for a particularly blatant grammatical error, but I'll leave it since it would distress you so. |

Cool video, thanks for the link.

I have some time off and had a few drinks last night. I get a little smug sometimes when drinking.
Sorry.
Now back to the topic. Uhh...Too much to think about right now so I'll be back.

Perhaps you should do some further reading. It has nothing to do with water being compressed in liquid form under the Earth... Water comes in more forms than just liquid you know. One of which is in its elemental form of pre-combined hydrogen and oxygen.
