It's not even science. Science starts with an observation, but no one was around 250 million years ago to watch the continents drift apart. And it's based on the weakest of evidence - just because Africa looks like half a newspaper torn off of South America, they tell us all the land in the world is playing Musical Chairs.

The Bible tells us the Earth was created in its present form.

Remember, continental drift is just a theory. It's speculation. Sure, we see "micro movement" in volcanoes and such, but no one has ever seen "macro movement". They say there are mountains at the bottom of the ocean, where the floor is coming apart. That doesn't make any sense! Even the expanding Earth theory makes more sense.

Here's a list of just some of the scientists who never accepted the continental drift THEORY

1. Aristotle
2. Sir Isaac Newton
3. Galileo
4. even Charles Darwin!
5. Heinsburg was uncertain ()
6. Francis Bacon of all people!
7. Einstein

The guy who came up with the continental drift theory recanted on his death bed.

But teachers in liberal public schools are being fired over refusing to submit to this false theory. The same thing is happening in evolution - go see Ben Stein's movie.

We didn't even start researching continental drift until after WW2. So we only have 60 years of data. That's not enough for a real scientific theory!

Hitler supported plate tectonics. In fact, it was vital to the Third Reich. No continental drift, no Nazis. You don't see Hitler on the list of scientists who never accepted continental drift.

So why do our schools and the halls of science have this agenda to push, about continents moving about? Again, I'll refer you to Ben Stein, who said "Science leads to killing people". Basically, it's a conspiracy.

You stole my IDEA! I was just in the process of writing a blog post about this. (OK actually, it's about the flat earth theory, but close enough anyway....)

On topic though, how can you not SEE that the continents look like puzzle pieces? They fit perfectly together.

Also how else do you explain the similar plants and fossils and stuff found on the edges of the coastlines of where they would be? They're virtually the same.

Sure, some of them look like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Africa and South America. The rest, not so much. The naive global warming agenda people would count this as "evidence" because as they say, 2 lies don't make a truth.

We have a lot of answers to choose from, as far as fossils go. Maybe they're only there to test our faith? Or maybe it's parallel evolution. More than one kind of animal tend to come up with the same solution sometimes. Eyes are a great example. And claws, sharp teeth, et cetera. Heck, even South America has marsupials! The same thing could have happened here. Similar types of life showed up in different places at different times, similar enough to look the same as mummified fossils.

Now answer me this. If all the continents are drifting about in more or less random ways, that would leave gaps, and all the water in the oceans would fall through. Why hasn't this happened?

John, haven't you read creationist geology? The continental rock floated on the waters of the great flood.

The "gaps" are already filled with newly created underwater land (ala Sea Floor Spreading).

Let me pose a question to you? What "else" could cause all the volcanoes and earthquakes we experience everywhere all the time?

I will just come up with something I don't really want to define and call it god. That's it. That's what causes volcanoes and earthquakes.

What, a form or sort of God is causing volcanoes to erupt and earthquakes to happen.? That seems unreasonable... Are there any proven facts that there are some sort of creature, or power, or anything that controls this place that we live in? If there are, then we are just living on a stage with strings on our backs, we are just toys...

not just toys. Toys with strings on their backs!

I was taught about continental drifting in geo class last year. Why would they teach something without knowing it truly happened :O

That's what the majority of people believed before the scientific revolution of the 19th century. Are you saying all those people could have been wrong?

I thought it was on the back of a giant turtle. I demand equal time for the giant turtle theory!

Are you sure it's not on the back of a Giant Penguin? That's what our ultimate aim should be when we're huntin' .

not necessarily. If they believe it to be that way, then let them. I just expressed my opinion. Not asking everyone to believe in it.

jabo,

If you've read what I have wrote in other threads on this forum, you would see I don't believe what I wrote above

I think you're missing a fundamental(ist) point, James. Those things you mention (volcanoes, earthquakes, fossils of palm trees on the south pole) don't matter at all, because they're just facts. What matters is interpretations of those facts. I interpret volcanoes to mean that plate tectonics and global warming are both false, just like Keith Olbermann's hair.

there are just questions in this world that the answers are unclear. Unclear because there are many different interpretations, there many different sides of the story and people believe in what they want to...

Exactly! Thanks, Jabo! If people want to believe that 2 + 2 = 36 and Germany became a recognized country in 1997 at the Olympics, well, we have to respect that. It's another interpretation and, like cbwm says, one man's truth is equal to another's.

John, I can't believe you've finally seen the light! Everything is just an opinion!

Can't decided if I had my coronary or not. Maybe I'm in limbo and dreaming things.

My opinion is that coronaries are just a figment of your imagination. I'm sure your parents warned you about getting one, but they were just trying to scare you. It should really be obvious. Unfortunately, good doctors are being thrown out of the hospitals where they operate on people just because, like me, they don't believe that coronaries actually exist in patients. See Ben Stein's movie - the same thing is happening with evolution!

So what are "facts" then?

What's this "Ben Stein Movie" you keep talking about? It sounds interesting .
