Ping Don Findlay's strike game players

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."

"The Megalithic yard and the two energy grids which operate on the Earth's

the BEI via solution of the Royal cubit, utilized by the builders of the
Great Pyramid Device (GPD). A summary of these revelations includes the
first 10 pages of "Babcock's Synchronization Tables" which lists over 240
equilibrium points across the structural core and symmetry center of the
SGM."



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

Yeah, well, that guy sounds like he would make a great advertisement for
some clinic somewhere. Did he also knit imaginary sweaters?

If Findlay attended Glasgow as a student at that time, then his

Wow. Then perhaps the state should sue him for a return of all funds, as
he has obviously wasted a lot of money.

...which link is right off my front page. ...Or people could just
google up don findlay . Why not? You'd think they could rise to
that at least, wouldn't you? I'm not an alias, or some unmentionable
monster who hides in the swamp of t.o. or even sci.geo for that matter.
But no, ..they're so tied up in their own agenda of hysterical denial
of anything that rubs their touchy-feely sense of peer clubhouse
cameraderie up the wrong way....

I think the responses here says everything there is to be said about
'peer review'. It's where I came in, it's been my experience, ..and it
is still the regular currency. It's a sad, but living comment on 'the
consensus machine' illustrated from the front row for all those who may
be embarking on a career in science - be very careful what you do with
your 'big idea'.
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/nonsense/consensus.html
...and it matters not whether it's in the back alleys, underpasses, or
in the dress circle, ...the accents may be different, but the intention
and responses are the same. Kill, .. Kill , ..! At all costs, kill.


Why can consensus not put up with a little anklebiting,..huh?


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 I first submitted (and later) published on boudinage and ore
deposits, Large-scale boudinage "did not exist" You would not believe
the scathing reception that one got. Reception here is child's stuff to
that. Difficult to believe from today's perspective?

This *is* publication (if just 'post-it' notes) You could regard it as
an experiment in peer review. (I have never attempted formal
publication in this area, and quite frankly I think it valueless
compared to the potential of the web. Unless of course the intention
is career publication credits, for which the science is merely and
unashamedly a vehicle. "Where it counts.." ..indeed. To sit on a
dusty shelf? Is that where it counts? To walk-the-walk and
talk-the-talk? Is that where it counts? I suppose, ..depends what
you're counting.


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.
Of course I have. (covered on my site.)


Or he can claim that 1 and 2 were wide of the plate and not strikes against
EE.
