Are you saying that it is a simple "fact" that plate tectonics accounts for moving masses of marine-fossil rocks in neat layered beds up 3-4-5 miles from some earlier conjectured layered fossil beds? Please share with us the components that make this a "fact" rather than a theory. Shalom, Steven Avery |

Yes, praxeus, it is a simple fact that plate tectonics has moved entire continents thousands of miles horizontally, and raised major mountain ranges miles vertically. The Himalayas are a good example: pushed up from coastal rocks when India collided with Asia. We can measure the fact that India is still heading northwards, and that the Himalayas are still rising.

Please share with us the components that make this a "fact" rather than a theory. e.g. how much movement upward has actually been observed? And what the indications and evidences that such movement would retain layered beds of fossils. And why such beds would predominate with marine fossils. And, perhaps most importantly, an analysis of the physical forces involved in pushing up millions of tons of earth miles. And a bit more. What is the best model for when continents 'collide' ? Can continents dance and move like bumper cars and collide this way and that ? And - What continental collisions are predicted for the future ? Thanks. Shalom, Steven Avery |

Why don't you just answer my question instead of bullshitting? Quote:

Thank you for the IIDB rule reference.
If you really want to continue the particular discussion (in the manner and time that I have already indicated) you would do better to drop the vulgarity. And the cult accusation is offensive and also causes me to question your dialog sincerity. The topic itself is fine and legit and fascinating, however your problems in posting and dialog and comprehension tend to dominate. Shalom, Steven |

Please stick to BC&H subject matter and keep efforts to improve members' science knowledge in S&S.
Thanks in advance, Doug aka Amaleq13, BC&H moderator |

Red Dave asked praxeus the following questions:
Quote:
I'd think that his reticence has nothing to do with any arithmetical challenge he may have and, as he usually is not adverse to championing even the most questionable readings in the bible, I can only conclude that he has the awareness that there is something not quite kosher in the biblical information and that he is ashamed to present the biblical data. His weeks of stalling haven't provided him with any avenue around the issue. As this appears to be the case, I'd recommend to other posters not to confuse him with any extra things to think about, so as to allow him the tranquility to look hard and long at the data and bring himself to respond to Red Dave's questions. spin |

You might take the time to actually read posts 71 & 84 before posting. Only takes a minute to find, it's not such a long thread. Then, why posting the same questions a couple of times each day is consequent (rather than simply posturing) becomes the real question. Shalom, Steven Avery |
