Emphasis mine. Notice that there is a 'claim' yet no evidence. Also notice the data for 'stable continental regions'. It is of little to no surprise that relatively light cratonic crust would rise isostatically in comparison to mafic oceanic crust and mantle. Also, this is in no way a...

Usually it's caused by a thick cratonic crust acting as a thermal blanket that contains the heat from underplated magma. I'm not sure you understand isotope geochemistry. PS~ Which major elements ('chemicals'?) would you use to distinguish a 4.5 Ga rock from a 60 Ma rock?

Do you not see the difference between the two? They do not mean the same thing AT ALL.

Is this English? What does it mean? Could you please rephrase this post for clarity?

Please address the content of my post, and please stay on topic.

Because I know the context, I know that it is being used metaphorically. In this case, either the context would be different and would change my understanding of the phrase, or the person, knowing that the phrase had a primarily metaphorical meaning, would say 'I literally have a lot on my...

What does this post mean? What is your thesis?

Nobody here is 'focusing on god not existing'. We're focusing on science, which says nothing about the existance of a god. Do you understand this?

Most creationists, I wager.

In which post did I mention inflation or dark energy? In which post did I say that I would address those topics? I was asked to present evidence for the big bang, and I did. If you would like to reply to this evidence with a refutation, please do. Otherwise, please stop trying to shift the...

A square is round. See? I can do it too.

Let's do this the easy way, shall we? Evidence for the Big Bang That's a pretty competent summary of the evidence for the big bang. Now I know, I know, 'but what about blah, blah, blah.' Yes, there are holes in this theory. But there is also quite a lot of good evidence (by the by, your...

We're actively searching for ways to test the theory. We do not know its cause, and that has been said to you multiple times. But that is not the point. We went thousands of years without knowing that the earth is spherical, that doesn't mean that it's not, or that it wasn't until we figured...

OK, let's adjourn this nerd convention, shall we? :P

Attacking what you do not understand. Ignorance truely is bliss, I suppose. This is what is required of you in christianity, correct? So if blind faith is such an awful thing, why are you blindly faithful to christ? When you disparage a property inherant to your belief system in order to...

You mean ad hominem attacks aren't thread-relevent?

Then you'd be interpreting literally what is, taken in context, pretty clearly a metaphor, and you would be demonstrably wrong. This is why 'biblical literalists' come up with so many nonsensical ideas: they ignore context and common sense.

No it's not. Please look up the dictionary definition of those two words, post them here, and explain where in there definition they coincide. Saying "Oh man, I have a lot on my plate this week." is a metaphor for being very busy. It doesn't mean that you're carrying around a plate with lots of...
