Plate Tectonics And Continental Drift., And I thought I knew all about it... Options

[lunk]

Plate tectonics and continental drift have been taught to me from a very early age.
I frequently found myself staring at geological formations, wondering how on earth, they were formed.
It sort of made sense, and what I didn't understand, I figured that it had all been studied, and some expert had already figured it all out, and there was no point in exploring the subject any further.
Now, I have recently discovered that there were other theories floating around:

Now there are stories, of the Earth being only 6000 years old,
and a huge flood that covered the world, and predictions of a firery future...
However, I find little, outside a few human scribbles,
to support these stories.

But, I do see a grain of truth in the demonstration.

Proof that the Earth has become larger.
...and that's about all.

If only they knew then, what we know now:

"Using wings that give only half as much lift while attempting to lift twice the weight, the Quetzalcoatlus has only two percent of the minimum power required for flight. Thus, among educated scientists this issue should not even be considered controversial; the Quetzalcoatlus could not have flown in today’s atmospheric environment.

There is no point in continuing to try to explain away the problems presented by the exceptionally large dinosaurs and pterosaurs. Clearly there was something different about the Mesozoic world that allowed these vertebrates to grow significantly larger that what is possible today. But finding what that difference is has always been the problem. For at least a couple of centuries, if not longer, researchers have had little if any success in their attempts to solve this problem. But now, there is a solution to the big dinosaur paradox."



What did I say?


ROFL!, lunk
