You sir, are a cad! I have spent HOURS following some fascinating presentations along with some serious, and not-so-serious discussions/debates. AND followed a few searches of my own. Bottom line: Expanding Earth seems to be a very real possibility, at least to this layman. FWIW, counter-arguments
appear fairly weak and tend to collapse under their own weight. For the most part they seem to rely upon the "conventional wisdom", such as it is.
Then again, maybe I'm easy ;^)
Thanks for the interesting links. I've really got to look into this some more.
