My difficulty with the mainstream science model for continental drift are
1. I cannot see how currents in the upper mantle are sufficiently strong to drag the plates and why they act in opposite directions at
and at right angles to the line where new sea floor is being created.
Then you agree with most mainstream scientists.

2. I cannot see the currents as strong enough to cause any movement of the intact lithosphere.
3. I cannot see how essentially granitic continents were formed from an essentially basaltic lithosphere.
Have you ever taken a geology course?

4. The magnetic stripes on either side of a ridge where new sea floor is being created show reversals in polarity. I understand this reversal in polarity is detectable in land rocks which can be dated by isochron radiometric dating techniques. And hence the argument is that the magnetic stripes is also a measure of time. I find it difficult to accept this assumption because I dont think we know what causes a reversal of polarity and also because reversals would have to coincide with melting episodes if isochron dating is to be used.
Why not with cooling episodes?
