>> A lot of geologists had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the plate
tectonic consensus by the facts too many holdouts would remain.<<
While I risk nothing discussing my views….It takes a lot of guts to buck
status quo if you are part of the Scientific establishment….and if the
evidence discovered steps on the established toes it would be a risk that only
fools would take.
>>It is not impossible the seismic readings do not mean what we think, but
until stronger evidence shows up, it is not wise to bet against them. What
else could they represent? <<
I guess I need to look at this evidence and see what else they could
represent. Would you know of a source of graphic data showing the structures
that appear as subducted crust?
Doug you have consistently and patiently discussed a wide variety of my
iconoclastic views with genuine interest and I really appreciate the exchanges.
