    you got the ratio of volume to surface area estimate WAY WRONG as well.

    but I jumped on you too hard. I will grant you know more than nothing on this subject. I’ll give you the same 5% growth you estimate on the change in earths volume.

    Amusing. At least I chuckle. Not a laugh, it is undercut too much, using a brain for a door stop as you do.

    Wrong twice in a row and still want to defend it. Silly.

    Huh!

    John C Dvorak, is that how you remember it?

    bobbo, no the area to volume is a simple idiot basterd calc.

    I looked a 2nd time at the animations. They actually do show volume doubling.

    Hey maybe the ‘voyage to the center of the earth’ story had something to it! Giant gas filled voids. Maybe abiotic oil and gas has someit to it as well. Cooool.

    EXPAND-O EARTH, just add water and it grows!

    #67–cgp===don’t you get tired of this? I’m starting to. You say: “bobbo, no the area to volume is a simple idiot basterd calc.” //// And I agree.

    Continents cover approximately 30 % of the earth’s surface creating a volume/size of x. Why don’t you do the math to show us what percent of volume results if the earth is shrunk so that the continents cover 100 of the earth.

    I could give you “the out” that I assume you will use, but I’ll let you have the minimum credit for coming up with it yourself.

    Go!!!!!!

    Oops–“the out” referred to is a dishonest dodge but still allows one to verbalize BS. Much as you like to do as in “Still Splitting Though.”

    cgp==you represent the worst of the best posting here: intelligent and schooled enough to know something. Too egotistical and full of yourself to simply acknowledge when you make a mistake/have a potential learning experience.

    Much less have the graciousness of personality/character to admit it publicly/apologize/thank those who correct/school you.

    If you aren’t careful, you’ll grow into a stupid old man. Take care my son.

    what I just admitted a mistake. Are you trolling, or just stupid?

    Hey Pedro–provocative link. Why aren’t you crowing over this credible nay-sayer?

    One thing about progress: never a smooth road.

    The consensus stands. by definition: a consensus admits to dissenting opinions.
