Proof yet again that plate techtonics is a garbage theory and the often maligned expanding earth theory is absolutely correct.

If a crack opens up and is filled by magma, then you have just created new earth that wasn't there before. Yet the same scientists that concede that this happens at the surface and the bottom of the ocean, still cling to plate techtonics, because its safe and familiar. The earth, like the universe, is expanding, and this how it happens. Will observing it firsthand finally convince the so-called experts that their Pangea theory is a complete joke.

"Look how South America and Africa kind of fit together. Pangea!!!"

Interesting . . . It reminds me of something I read in the Bible before:

http://www.youversion.com/bible/nasb/is
a/43/19

“Behold,
I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.

something to ponder . . .

Even the wilderness will rejoice in those days. The desert will blossom with flowers. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel's pastures and the plain of Sharon. There, the Lord will display His glory, the splendor of our God...Isaiah_35:1,2 The Bible says it, I believe it.

This is not news. That's been known for decades ! Not merely "suspected" for decades, either. KNOWN for decades. Science and journalism have become soooo degraded as time moves on ... in line with American student test scores. Gee, you think they are connected ?
