Those in the strike game, being played by Dr. Findlay, who keep
suggesting that he should get an education in geology should do some
homework.
Don Findlay has a doctorate degree in structural geology, and list
himself as a consultant in that field. You should check his profile page
to understand the depth of his training.
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/profile.html
Although he has had a number of articles and papers (all apparently
regarding boudinage) published in peer-reviewed publications, it appears
that he has not been able to get any accepted that have the expanding
earth as the subject.
When he had suggested in a recent thread that he would entertain
discussions that would falsify expanding earth based on geology only, and
in light of his educational background and specialty, it does seem
strange that he hasn't confronted these issues:
1. If the earth has expanded at the rate Dr. Findlay claims over the last
300 million years, then a extremely significant portion of geological
structures formed during that period of very rapid expansion should
exhibit dilational failure, instead of compressional failure. Nearly all
structural geologists will agree that the significant portion of
geological structures formed during that period of claimed expansion are
compressional in nature, as are most of those that are active today. Or,
he can claim that all of the field work by those other structural
geologists has been mapped incorrectly, or interpreted incorrectly.
2. If the earth has expanded at the rate, over the last 300 million
years, that Dr. Findlay claims it has then a very significant portion of
the stress fields related to that expansion should have to have been
oriented radially outward from the center of the earth and coherent with
dilational failure. Nearly all geophysicists will agree that the residual
stresses measured in the rocks that represent that period of time are not
oriented radially outward, but exhibit compressional and/or gravitational
domains. The same can be said for those stresses measured in today's
active structures; by far predominately compressional, and not oriented
radially outward from the center of the earth. Or, he can claim that all
of these geophysicists have performed or interpreted their measurements
incorrectly.
Or he can claim that 1 and 2 were wide of the plate and not strikes
against EE.

Those of us who have had conversations with him over the years are well
aware of his educational/professional claims. Dr Michael Behe is
associate professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University. That didn't
prevent him from making a complete fool out of himself in the courtroom in
Dover, Pennsylvania. Having a PhD doesn't ensure that one knows how to
use one's brain. Considering how poorly DF has done in these ridiculous
threads over the years, I would suggest that he contact the University of
Glascow and ask for a refund of his tuition. Obviously, he's either been
ripped off or is the victim of some heinous academic prank.

I met this guy named Larry Babcock at the Tucson G&M show two years ago.
Here is the link to his web site.
http://syninfo.com/Crystal/index.htmlx
He is a Doctor of Geology who is selling healing crystals. He also claims he
has discovered the energy net that surrounds the earth and is locked into
the Universal constant, or something like that. He says that aliens visit
the earth periodically to adjust the energy net and make sure it is
operating properly.
Here are some excerpts from his web site, which he thought was a must read
for me.
"A Primer On The Structure Of Space
And The Spectrum Of Life "
"The story concerning the author's discovery of the Structure of Space is
presented in the preface of the following document. An analysis of over 40
kilometers of stratigraphic section in the Portage Lake Lava Group (PLLG) in
the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, USA, revealed 1) the basic two fold
structure of SPACE and 2) that thE six fold Stratigraphic Hierarchy, which
operates on the Earth's surface, is a manifestation of thE six orders of
R-space. All Existence is based upon a virtually perfect state of resonance.
Therefore, musical nomenclature is employed to elucidate the R-space
hierarchy. The Structure of Space is described in a four part outline
involving nomenclature, gross structure, suborder details on the various
dimensions of existence, and the four classes of space. Extensive
nomenclature from The Urantia Book is utilized to describe the Spectrum of
Life. Resident dimensions are cited for the four classes of sentient life in
the four classes of space."

There must have been some bad weed that got smoked back in those days.
