My India Challenge

[AV1611VET]

If India "torpedoed" into the Asian continent at the rate of 2cm/year, forming the Himalayan Mountains, where out in the ocean was India's starting point, and how did scientists ascertain it?

Please note: I want an exact starting point in the ocean where India began its journey, as I'm using this challenge to point out that science chisels and force-fits their data to get the results they're looking for.

It may take several tries, a computer, and several moments of "back to the drawing board" to force their conclusions to agree with other scientific disciplines (such as astronomy), but with the aid of computers it can be done.

So please tell me:

Where exactly was India's starting point, according to current models?

 

[Laodicean60]

6,400 km south of the Asian continent???

It all started in photoshop...

Is that a guess?

 

[AV1611VET]

No argument there!

 

[Laodicean60]

Is that a guess?

Lol not really but I'm not smart enough to do the math, Now my youngest son can. Am I hot or cold?

 

[AV1611VET]

Lol not really but I'm not smart enough to do the math,

Neither am I.

But I'm sure academia has used computers to do it for them.

Over and over, until they get what they're looking for.

'Cept I was born in 1954.

Nice to meet you!

Like I said I'm not smart. I don't know if this is true or not.

 

[AV1611VET]

I don't know if this is true or not.

It isn't.

It's all made up from recycled data.

You know you can look this stuff up.

Indian subcontinent - Wikipedia

It formed about 130-120 million years ago and split from Madagascar around 90 million years ago.

Where exactly was India's starting point, according to current models?

The question only makes sense if India was created as it is someplace on the globe, and it retained its shape as it merged into the continent. The terrain has always been moving and changing since the Earth formed. Go back in time far enough, and the land mass known as India didn't exist, its parts were spread around and indistinguishable from what we know today.

I like it how you start off with a completely erroneous premise and the science is based on addressing this premise.
On a more serious note India's starting point was where Melbourne Australia is located today, the exact spot being the Curry Vault Indian restaurant.
I'll even supply the map for you.

Don't you know the answer?

I take it then that academia doesn't teach it?

(Probably because they don't know either; and they don't know because it didn't happen.)

And as far as your "you can look this stuff up" smokescreen; if you asked me who Daniel's three friends were, and I said "you know you can look this stuff up" ... what kind of an apologist would I be?

Dazzle me with a concrete answer and show me academia knows what it's talking about.

It formed about 130-120 million years ago and split from Madagascar around 90 million years ago.

So it moved 559,300,000 cm @ 2cm/year for 120-130 million years?

Okay.

Just say you don't know.

I am not an apologist, this is a basic question that the answer is out there. You can look this up.

Now it did "crash" into Asia about 50 million years ago, so it is likely it was faster before it started pushing into the Asia continent. But still, it looks like you have your answer now.

If you are looking for a concrete answer, you are still not understanding science for subjects like this. We don't know everything, we are still finding out things and sometimes the best answer we can make is an estimate.

Thank you for confirming what I suspect:

1. It's not taught in academic circles.
2. Academia doesn't know where it started.

And that's because it didn't start out in the ocean and move anywhere.

Got it.

Speed it up, slow it down, move it around here and there, chisel it until you get it to fit other scientific disciplines.

Science doing what it does best: moving their own goalposts until everything is force-fitted on paper.

No, it didn't start in the ocean somewhere, it broke from the supercontinent of Gondwana during the Cretaceous. It did and does move, and we can show that by the geology of the sub-continent and the land masses that were next to it when it was joined in Gondwana.

Just because we don't know exactly where it started does not mean it is not true. I know it doesn't fit into your world view, but just because you like to play these word games does nothing to show your world view is correct.
