@vagabondwiz - why is this not top rated

Can we just stop all these arguements and watch the video!

Wow, that is... creepy O_O

@TheInternetizen continuing - regarding this 'expanding earth' theory, i would cite occams razor. Is it more probable that the Earth has somehow accumulated 'dark matter' which is believed not to interact with ordinary matter- hence 'dark matter', or could it be that the formation of mountain ranges, continents and like could be explained, and proven, by plate tectonics?

@TheInternetizen dark energy does not constitute any of the mass of the universe, it is simply a theoretical construct used to explain the accelerating expansion of the universe as you stated. Dark matter constitutes around 83% of the mass of the universe, with visible matter taking the remaining 17%. Like dark energy, next to nothing is known about dark matter either- it is also a construct (or more accurately a placeholder) that allows physicists to explain why galaxies can remain coalesced

@TheInternetizen An accumulation of matter IS required, since Neal Adams' loony theory says the Earth doubled its radius in under 200 million years, so that means it suddenly had 8 times more matter than it did before. The alternative belief, that the DENSITY of rock was 8 times what it is NOW, is untenable, since no one can demonstrate a solid substance with density in the range 40 or so. I pointed this out to Neal Adams many times but all he has for people is insults and censorship.
What's with the interspersed clips of Neanderthal man roaming around in pants?

"the continents aren't moving and never have moved". LoL... not only do they move but they can be measured on their movement.
"that is the most reasonable way to explain the fossiles of shells in high places and deserts and the diferent ages of sea bed and land. "
Oh, right... please explain how earth expanding leads to contraction forces necessary to explain mountain ranges and the distribution of vulcanoes and sismic activity...
