Dear all,
I must admit i didn't think this would be my first e-mail to the Geotectonics mailing list! I think it was Aristotle (or some other famous person) that said,
'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it'
In my view this is what science is all about, how else does our understanding grow? I have been pleased to see many replies to this forum discussing this topic and querying the Earth-Tree hypothesis, whilst still encouraging Mr. Suresh (and others) to continue to question the current 'beliefs'. I'm sure the plate tectonic model sounded odd to many people initially. Yet here we are.
However, I am disconcerted that whenever a valid question is raised, all i see are the same arguments coming back. There appears to be no development. Just links to some pictures and a brief description. Therefore, whilst I enjoy open debates this seems to have run its course, unless new supporting arguments are brought forward to move the discussion on.
Cheers,
Craig

I am new to this forum. The truth is I can not believe what I read.
Is it a good idea to discuss these things?
Best regards to all,
