7 months after this comment... one reply... I guess not so many people are with you!

Growing Earth theory only really covers continental separation, not the drift. Also, where does all the supposed "new" material come from? I've never heard a satisfactory explanation for that part of the theory.

@prototype9000 Surely that defies the laws of physics? The matter has to come from somewhere after all.

laws of physics are outdated and the zeropoint field is something the or scalar field supposedly all matter was created from that anyways. modern physics fails to define allot of unknowns thephysics models should be redefined and rewritten and reexplained
