Quote:The aspirin analogy is totally unrelated and irrelevant, but nice try.Interesting that you admonish me of using the "because I said so" argument, while you don't really do anything more here.
Quote:The evidence is posted for your review and enlightenment. I’m not at all clear where we have seen that: <i>”mountains DO have roots and mountains DO make the earth more stable”.</i> other than your “Because I say so” admonition.Hey, I've linked to a site which offers scientific information and references textbooks. If you'd like to debunk the explanations given there, by all means do so, but don't give me this disingenuous nonsense about my points being arbitrary.
Quote:I’ve asked several times now – “If mountains have pegs and stabilize the earth, why do earthquakes more often than not occur along mountains, mountain ridges and areas of plate tectonics that form mountains”?I'm not convinced that they do. The site above with the seismic maps wasn't very helpful -- do you have *references* or articles that directly say that mountainous areas are MORE prone to seismic activity?
