[QUOTE="Keithmurdoch, post: 518044, member: 61852"] I think this was what you meant? [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_8n7s3QpqY[/URL] Much of the evidence he sites revolves around the idea that new crust is constantly being produced in the rifts between plates, which nobody disputes in the slightest (imagine if someone were to champion subduction without it - they'd have to beleive in a shrinking world!) also, he states that there are a great many more marine fossils discovered on land, sure - its a lot easier to look for them here, for one thing, but the video shows that India was always attached to Asia - which makes the presence of marine fossils high in Nepal hard to explain.
