There's actually an alternative theory to continental drift; it's called the expanding earth theory. See the link below.

Prove me that continental drift didn'te happen already. God.
We told you to go to rehab, but you were all like "no, no, no!" ::)

Retortard doesn't know who has the burden of proof, how cute.

All I saw on that site was BS, Tom.

Fossil evidence points directly to continental drift, so therefore the Earth is round.

I am many things but God isn't one of them.  But thanks for the compliment.  ;D

Now prove me wrong or don't post.

You have no authority here, it's amusing that you try, though.

Hey Tom, you do realize that expanding earth theory is an RE theory, don't you?

Troll.

Anyone going to prove me wrong? The Earth is round otherwise.

The Earth is not round.
How's that for solid proof?

You sure just...

Even granting continental drift and Pangea (which actually has some opponents), I fail to see how this disproves an ice wall exists. It only would show that the plates on which antarctica is placed are expanding rimward. They then meet a subduction zone under the very large mass of the greater ice wall. Perhaps there is a large expanse on the other side of the ice wall and the plates in that perpetually dark and cold place meet forming an orogenic belt around the known earth.

THANK YOU so much Ski for finally posting something sensible, unlike SOME people. Anyways, I'm not trying to prove that it exists, but that it doesn't. Thanks again for the sensible post.

I posted something remarkably similar to this (with less details) which you ignored in two different threads.

No. Fossil evidence supports an expanding earth. Read the link.

How can an RE grow and expand into a bigger earth? Where does the matter come from?

It's easy to see how a Flat Earth can expand, since it's accelerating upwards and things tend to flatten and expand outwards as they are accelerated, pulling away from its center of balance. For example, as a fighter pilot accelerates to Mach 3 his face is flattened and expanded outwards.

Tom,

I've just read the article.  The work "proof" is used 8 times.   -Poof that this is pseudo-science garbage. 
I haven't performed it and I've never claimed to. I've have trouble being in two places at the same time.

You say the Earth is flat.

And they call me retarded...

Nothing makes sense anymore.

And its a win for the normal guys!


Ice walls, surrounding the earth? Guarded by people? Edge of earth? Disc shaped?
I think you crack pots need your fucking heads examined imho.
Seriously...
Just remember, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

I read the link. It seems to be lacking peer-review.

If you read your own link, you would see the theory says that the Earth is accreting matter from outer space, and that it is an RE theory.

You expanding FE theory doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I must admit, there doesn't seem to be all that much evidence for continental drift when you look at it from a FE point of view. Most modern measurements of the movement of the continents are done using satellites, which, as far as this place is concerned, are under the complete and total control of NASA and thus don't provide any reliable evidence. The other main piece of evidence for continental drift is the fact that the continents fit together so well, but FE model doesn't have any accurate maps, so there's no evidence that the continents fit together well.

Victory for RE!!

Tom and Dogplatter, the fossil evidence does NOT suggest that the Earth is expanding. Then Pangea would still exist.

That's right. Completely ignore the fact the fact that continental drift (if it exists) was just given a viable explanation in FET and prefer to repeat the "it's impossible" claim over and over again. It's a disturbing trend...

I don't even know what you're talking about but you cannot deny that continental drift exisits. There's far too much proof. Don't deny that it exists. I'm going to go on with this longer soon.

No it wouldn't. As the earth expanded the super-continent broke up into continental plates which continue to expand away from each other to this very day.

Watch this video:

The author of the video assumes an RE, but the concept stands none the less.

But can Earth's expansion be proven?

I never claimed it was expanding. Perhaps before trying to formulate a critique you should actually discern what my arguments are.
