The Flood = many coincidences

RE plate techtonics.
As with any scientific theory the proof of the pudding is in the predictive capability.
If plate techtonics is correct then we have a number of things which follow:
a) We would need to see plate boundaries. Checkb) We would need to see that such plate boundaries and see diverging or converging points to either side. Check - many measurements of spreading have been made at plate boundaries.c) We would expect the crust near such boundaries to be very young in geological terms. check.d) We would expect to see very similar geology at sites which were formerly connected but have since 'spread'. Check.
e) We would expect to see fossil distributions consistent in time and space with the theory. CheckWe could continue and mention the Palaeomagnetic evidence which is also completely consistent with the theory, not to mention the satellite imaging which actually shows the process taking place: but one doubts that any true believer will be convinced by evidence alone.

Take a large piece of basalt, place it under a compression piston, and note what happens.it crumbles.play tectonics does not work.

Appeal to ignorance is itself ignorant. Take some custard powder in a 60% solution and compress it quickly - it acts as a solid. Therefore, using this logic, cornflour is a solid material resistant to compression. That would be news to anyone making a cake....Edited by Bikerman, : No reason given.
