Don't expect me to defend it, I just found it interesting.

I think it could be true, I never believed the continents just floating around and crashing into each other (that just sounds ridiculous).

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.

Well, everything in the Universe seems to be expanding including our own Sun. Why couldn't planets expand?
After all... it is changing shape: »archives.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space···dex.html
Now, just where did all that water come from?

That was really interesting and quite believable, but could I wish I could ask that guy where the trillions and trillions of gallons of water came from to fill in the oceans. |

With the introduction of Hydrogen into an Oxygen atmosphere. Basic chemistry over millions of years. Hydrogen is one of the most abundant sources of energy known to man. With Oxygen being produced from earths natural molten iron core.

Finally, volcanism continuously emits water vapor from the interior. Earth's plate tectonics recycle carbon and water as limestone rocks are subducted into the mantle and volcanically released as gaseous carbon dioxide and steam. It is estimated that the minerals in the mantle may contain as much as 10 times the water as in all of the current oceans, though most of this trapped water will never be released

So the water is in there...
hmm...

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.

Aurora, IL | to say that the water was 'inside' the earth and expelled by volcanoes means that you must put physics aside and believe that water is compressible.
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.
