Pre, you wonder why serious geologists don’t seem to take up your challenge?

It could have something to do with your attitude. Such statements as: “Well, whatever the reason, they certainly are extremely stupid” are likely to attract those looking for a slanging match, rather than a reasonable discussion.

It could also be linked to the “conspiracy theory” presentation which is off putting to all but conspiracy theorists; and few of them appear to be interested in geology.

However, I suspect that a major factor is your tendency to make dogmatic statements which a little consideration reveals to be wrong.

Let’s look at a few examples taken from just two short paragraphs.

“Plate-tectonics, is the belief that many of Earth's geological features, such as mountains, are caused by currents of solid rock which circulate in the mantle. “ Wrong.

“The convection is claimed to be due to the temperature difference (about 3,000 degrees) between the top and the bottom of the mantle.“ Wrong.

“The basic idea, is that the rock at the bottom of the mantle, on being heated by the core, becomes lighter, and thus, rises (in a gigantic up-welling) to the top of the mantle”. Wrong.

“The rock current, then flows (away from the up-welling and) under the Earth's surface, but parallel to it (carrying the continents with it), until it cools”. Wrong.

“On cooling sufficiently, the rock becomes heavier and sinks (in a gigantic down-welling) back to the bottom of the mantle, and on doing so, completes one lap of a circuit”. Wrong.


There never was nothing.
