Are you claiming that verbal barrage supports your expanding Earth
theory?

Well, you know what they say: if you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
then baffle them with bull****. Don must feel frustrated that no one
recognizes his brilliance, so he's trying the second strategy. (Now this
a_plutonium character is either dazzling with bull**** or baffling with
brilliance; I'm not entirely sure which. }:-) ;-)

And if all that fails, there is always the safety net of the ad hominem.

No, I'm claiming that Plate Tectonics *IS* verbal Garbage, and Daisy
there was the only redeeming feature of the class, or of being in the
class, ..and that the load of old horse**** called Plate Tectonics
still gets shovelled from one side to the other for no other reason
than that it still (after half a century) pays wages to a whole lot of
dubious people:-
http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/template.cfm?name=lithosphere
....which up to a point is an ok reason in itself, but absolutely
irrelevant when it comes to do with anything about 'science'. ...And
that nevertheless it suits a lot of people to keep it that way - since
it pays mortgages and holidays and way of life generally...
....And that before we address 'models' we need to revisit the geology.
....And that any schoolchild can poke enough holes in PT to sink it -
easy.

Because it *IS* horsehit, .. an empty, fly-blown shell.

And that if it *IS* an empty fly-blown shell of horse****, then the
geology on which it is based needs revisited, not any analysis of
theory (although floating lithosphere pushing denser lithosphere down
speaks for itself and doesn't need me or you to point out the nonsense
in it, but it does behove us both to acknowledge just exactly that it
*IS* nonsense, and that people getting prizes for calculating the
numerics of how it can be done illuminates the whole enterprise for the
folly that it is.)

(...In the name of science, of course...) (...OK, ..Call that Peer
Review.)

....And hey, ..just for a laugh...


"This new movement is particularly exciting in that it could radically
simplify our view of convection in the Earth. The plume hypothesis as
it is applied today requires that Earth dynamics is driven by two
independent modes of convection - plate tectonics and plumes. The
former is driven by forces at plate boundaries - ridge push and slab
pull, and the other is driven by heat from the Earth's core. The new
theory suggests that only one of these is needed - plate tectonics.
Volcanism that appears to be anomalous either in its location,
distribution or volume rate then results from the inhomogeneity
imparted to the mantle by plate tectonics and intraplate deformations
that occur preferentially along pre-existing lines of weakness. The
possibility of such a radical simplification alone is a strong hint
that may something important may be going on here."

This cannot be true, just recently we had an article posted where they
saw 50my old slab near the base of the mantle and plumes shooting off
it.

They forgot to mention the dancing fairies, suppose they thought that
a bit much.

Ahh, Archimedes Plutonium, primordial net.k00k...Suppose the universe *is*
an atom of plutonium, Arch. So what?

No worries - blobtonics, ..eh ! Woof ' ll get on his ballet pumps and
show everybody a few smooth moves, ...how Plate Tectonics can combine
with Plume theory to explain everything from crustal crumpling to
crustal crumbling. Crumbling has it by the way when it comes to
building mountins. It's erosion does it: removal (by crumbling) causes
isostatic rebound ( i.e., uplift) by crumpling, and the whole lot is
modulated (as we learned in the last Special Issue of Scientific
American) (cock-adoodle-doo!!) by growing grass, preferably out of the
rain shadow. See? global warming slows down mountain growth because
the grass growing slows erosion and hence rebound, Seriously. Joint
effort between Harvard and Yale. Published specially (and at a special
rate too...) for consumption by the faithful.

His footwork's as fancy as George's in a pirrouette-pinch. What's
happened to George anyhow? Has he succumbed to somebody with a theory
rather than a solid knowledge of anatomy, I wonder? We're not hearing
from him for some reason. Doesn't sound good. And I just heard on the
news recently that senior members of the medical profession are
concerned about the level of knowledge of anatomy of surgeons going
into practice - - an exit poll of medical students from the examination
hall were asked how many valves the heart has. More than half got it
wrong. No joke.

Geological proof that you are healthy in your bowel area
as your **** is a floatie. If it's multi-colored with brown to black
then you have a bonus in that you don't YET have colon cancer.
