Tides

So how about my point that if the earth is tilting in various directions the waves will go sideways when observed from the shore?

I don't like the tilting model.

Ok but if you don't "like" the tilting model does that mean itdoes tilt or it doesn't? Or do you just belive the bits you "like".

But that aside - if the tilting model is wrong what actually causes the tides to ebb and flow?

Anti-moon.
And yeah, in this theory, each believer has his own thoughts and opinions about different facts, great, innit?

I think from now on "Not in FAQ" should be an adaquate riposte. Maybe then the FE'ers will sort their act out. I really can't be arsed juggling the DEF with the UA and Einsteins General Relativity, and the anti moon, and the fricking tilt. And the conspiracy. And wonko light, and wonko telescopes, and wonko time.

Is there chocolate with all that Wonka?
