Didn't watch the vid...couldn't get past the pic.

I got a light though ;)

Where do people get the time to make up crap like this?

I miss Arte Johnson.

Too much Yeast!

I thought the video was very interesting.

If the universe is expanding (growing) then why not the earth.

Watch the video, its very convincing.

And interesting.

The video and theory behind it is complete garbage.
Plate tectonics is well supported by all evidence.

Interestingly enough however one can argue our planet is
shrinking!

I have my doubts about that.

Only someone who knows absolutely nothing about science would fall for this one.

We gain cosmic dust and a few solar protons. We lose hydrogen and helium. We get a rare meteorite. That's about it.

Maybe the earth is alive. Growing from sunlight.

People used to laugh at the man who thought the world was round. such things should not be so easily doubted in today's modern world of technology and science.

So true. Most of today's so called scientists are stuck with what they think they know. They don't dare look beyond academia for anything else.

I do like David Bohm though, and his ideas about the implicate and explicate orders. I lean towards the idea of this being some kind of holographic matrix.

I don't see what is so crazy about an earth that is growing. All living things grow and expand. Even the Universe is expanding.

And size is relative.

The earth is considered a live planet. The moon is not alive.

Things live and grow when they live in the sweet zone which is exactly where planet Earth sits and everything else that lives on it.
Everything that lives outside that zone is dead with life but even they have a purpose in our Universe.

make a Religion of it!
That should learn them!


Since he is Believing!
What's one Cult more?

Religions are for people like you who like to tell people what to think.

I take it from that comment that you have disproved the idea of pair creation resulting from highly energetic particles at the Earths core?

Nuclei multiplying like Amoeba?

And they add up, don't they. Now we have not much coming down on our heads; but perhaps during ice ages the combined heat energy and other radio energy reaching earth form the sun is blocked by thicker dust. Or sometimes we get hit by a huge meteorite, which adds quite a few stones to the growing earth.

I don't know. I have always tought the earth grows, and that at one point it was completely covered in water, and then more dry stuff kept on flying in from space, and with the help of tectonics, we have now seas and land.

The seas could have evaporated some of their water, the atoms of which could have discombined from their molecular structure, and the hydrogen escaped. So we have less water now for that, not only more dry stuff, like silicon. Or silicone. I don't know which is spelled which way.

But I never studied the topic. Maybe the incoming debries do nothing or not much to our growth as a planet.

I am convinced, however, that life started in the primordeal soup not only because oils were suspended in it that were more apt to float and mix randomly than if they were on dry land, but I believe that life never started on dry land because there was no dry land at the time. No solids stuck out of the seas, our planet was a ball of water on it, no matter where you looked, and dirt and oils and other yuck suspended in it as a solution and as a mixture.

Indeed. Our heads, too. Our sphere of knowledge. Our money supply. Our penises. Anything that is round, must be expanding because the universe is expanding.

it is only logical.

What is "logical" to me is that the earth is alive. It is a living planet, spewing out living organisms from the depths of its oceans from which scientists say we evolved.

Living things grow.
