Uh, plate tectonics, anyone?

Toby,
I do not mean to argue with you, especially when I consider you to be one of
the most valuable contributors to this list, but I must point out that plate
tectonics, just like Darwin's evolution, the Big Bang etc are all just
theories. This does not of course, mean that I do not believe them, but each
one still has its faults and contradictions.
Neither does this mean I am a creationist, no more that the other list
members are Luddites for opposing certain aspects of modern technology.

"Textbooks frequently extol plate tectonics theory without questioning what
might be wrong with the theory or without discussing a competitive theory.
How can students be taught to challenge popular ideas when they are only
presented a one-sided view?"

In a world where the masses are still fed nonsense by governments,
multinationals and mass media, critical thinking should be encouraged so that
all of us can make informed decisions on all aspects of our lives.

Sorry for that interruption, I will now let you all get back on the Ormus
discussion.

Chris
