This is the conclusion from the cocoon of sci.geo.geology of two years
of postings.  We (i.e, the only bloke interested in a discussion on
this over there) thought y'all should know.  And where it's all going.
(Now that we've got worked out the really important thing about who's
posting from where, that is, and whether or not abuse is allowed.)

**Conclusion**:-    Plate tectonics is founded on unwarranted
assumptions and overlooks  numerous first-order aspects of global
geology that should have been evident from its inception.  The model
should  never have been formulated.   It has grown into a potpourri of
ad hoc explanations of monstrous proportions, that either directly
contravene the geological facts,  contradict each other, and/or  are in
some or various ways  disconnected.  That  these dislocations are
extolled against this background of omission and contrivance as
opportunities for "more research" is an indictment of the profession
and a serious misuse of funds.  The model should be discarded in its
entirety as unworkable.   There are no redeeming features worthy of
retention.

By comparison  Earth expansion presents a far more integrated and
harmonious  picture of global geology consequent on the facts, and an
exciting vision of the Earth sciences every bit as portentous as the
changes from flat Earth-ism and geocentrism to the heliocentric system
of the Renaissance.  It is precisely because no known mechanism exists
for the apparent growth of the Earth that every effort should be
directed to exploring the many manifestations of the geological facts
of its expression.   The prima facie conclusion that the Earth is
expanding offers unparallelled opportunities for formulation of  a
geological model that will lay the firm foundation to provide the
certainties necessary to address the theoretical connection between the
manner by which matter may come into existence and its physical
expression.   Earth expansion is unquestionably the foundation of  the
Earth Sciences for the next millenium.  Plate tectonics is dead.
