Compare explanatory power:


    Plate Tectonics
    - Globally random; each location has its own peculiar story. Driving forces are speculative and inadequate.

    Catastrophic Plate Tectonics - Offers only generalizations.  Requires contrived initial conditions.  Ignores trench rollback.

    Shock Dynamics - Virtually all features developed from the same event; features such as the Andes, the Philippines, the East African Rift Zone, the Mariana Trench, the Lord Howe Rise, the Appalachians, the Himalayas, Europe, the New Hebrides, the Bering Sea, etc.  Simple experiments show how turbulence in shocked crust shaped the seafloor (click on blue above).

    Expanding Earth - Offers only generalizations
    Hollow Earth - Offers only generalizations
    Hydroplate - Offers only generalizations

 

Nothing is hidden that shall not become evident, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light.  Therefore take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him shall more be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.  --- Jesus Luke 8:17,18
