Because you're scientifically illiterate, smugly self-righteous about it, and condescending to those who dispute you,
Really?? Your proof of that is what?? Would a score 0f 99/99 in a mechanical aptitude test dispute your assumption without it being noted that I just walked in off the street and took the test.High School auto is apprentice level 1, I never got a mark that was below 95%.
My smugness is based on the extent of my knowledge in various subjects. So far mechanics is 'how things work' and I can a complex document and by the end have a summation of it' strong and weak points, that is a natural talent you don't have so why mock it when you encounter it in others. I'm assuming you had to study hard and by the very little you let out so far it is a memorization program rather than one of being able to Sherlock something out in real-time. That is also a threat to you and your rigid scientific belief.
I mock you when you refuse to take part in a discussion at a level that is above your gossip posts, like this one. That is the mocking that has been done and to have it fit your version of reality you even have to lie about events. You were the #1 guy on the site as far as science went and so far it is you that is inflexible and that can be shown by your attitude to global warming and what drives it. 9/11 would also show you are flawed in being able to determined what is science and what is junk science.
same as you are about your biblical interpretations.
Compared to your idiotic version of Revelations you really should have taken the time to listen to the opposing view. When your version is the only one that counts as being worthy of being posted that is a big flaw already and it is put there by nobody but you. The reason I know the book so well is that I have studied it for decades, is that not how knowledge is acquired. You certainly didn't follow that route, you couldn't understand it on your own so you read what others have said and you adopted a little bit here and a little bit there and made it into something that sounds complicated enough that some thought was needed to arrive at your current level of misunderstanding rather than level of understanding.
That was a bigger danger to your rep around here that the expanding earth type of posts. Today you are well aware that my version is solid and almost unique in it's format. The book made it that way rather than I doctored it up so I could appear to be as intelligent as you claim to be. You fell flat on your face when you did the interpretation of Revelations. You being outgunned is why you shy away from chatting with me, that is also a flaw rather than it being a helpful trait.
With no formal scientific education at all, you claim the scientific consensus is wrong on many major things and you and people like that ignorant cartoonist who promotes the expanding earth hypothesis with YouTube videos know better,
So much for your level of understanding. Neil Adams did not come up with the expanding earth theory, he made an animation of how that process is supposed to work. It came from a scientist, the same ones you like to brag up but since this scientist has a new theory it is automatically labeled as junk science or like you, lie and promote no scientist promotes it, only some wacky cartoonist.

because of course you're open minded and receptive to new ideas and science is not, it's a closed fraternity conspiring to keep the truth from the rest of us.
You seem to be denying that science has been resistant to change as far back as 500AD. In the last century one such example is is the process that created the Washington scablands. Science promoted slow erosion and another scientist promoted a flash flood did the landscaping. That ruied his career and shortly before he died the scientific community had accepted his version was correct after all. Do you think he had the right to be somewhat bitter that his fellow scientists ruined his career over that. I can bring up more examples that relate to the scientific community ruining people who come up with new and valid theories.
You have to know nothing about what science is, how it works, and what it claims, to believe nonsense like that.
Is that your confession as it fits your conclusions. What part of the Atlantic being 5,000km wide and the Pacific being 11,000 wide over a period of 200M years is showing you that no expansion is taking place currently and never in the past??
Science rejects the expanding earth hypothesis because it has a better explanation for the available evidence, that's all there is to it.
The expanding earth used date that is less than 70 years old to formulate it's scientific background. Plate tectonics was promoted before that map was available so what proof were they using or was it just another guessing game. Science buries artifacts from the past rather than putting them on full display with and accurate explanation of how it came to be where it was found. Do you really want a list of vids that point to unusual artifacts being hidden rather than put on display and claim science is doing it's best at the same time. You are a scientist who is in denial that your industry is not as upfront as you claim they are. Time you accepted that fact.
You can't legitimately demand that science disprove your claims, that's not how it works, you have to produce the evidence and arguments that show you've got the better explanation.
The scientific principles behind the expanding earth are valid. Oceanic rifts and active volcanoes shows the magma is trying to get to the surface and when things heat up they expand.
That means you have to explain all the same evidence the consensus explanation does,
The would fall into place like dominoes, that is why you refuse to discuss any scientific issues as it is your version that would be shown to be the 'least likely'. That would crush you whole world as it is no longer a flexible one that science demands a person have as logical thinking is as important as holding something ancient.
and some that it doesn't, predict testable results the consensus doesn't, or that are contrary to it, and provide a plausible mechanism for all this.
You could always go and get a pressure reading from the Atlantic and Pacific Rifts and compare them to the pressures when a descent of magma is taking place such as in a line from James Bay all the way down to the GOM.
Until you can do that, you've got nothing but speculation and science will not accept your claims, you haven't done your homework.
I've done my homework and you are a fraud in both the scientific topics and especially in the topic of Christian Theology. I can live comfortably with that, too bad you can't.lol
