First prove yourself right.

Pro tip: You can't

If we accept standard chronology, the continent of Pangea is much, much older than any human civilisation - even the forgotten ones. Like 3 orders of magnitude older. The continental drift -again, if we accept orthodox geology- happens way too slowly for it to have caused any global flooding. And the conventional explanation offered by alternative historians for similarities between different cultures makes more sense to me anyway.

this post and down is a huge guide on what really happened.

>>38821

I used to think this looked plausible with flood myths and all but mountain building and paleogeology makes too much sense for me to continue thinking of the Expanding Earth as possible.

>>38821

That makes no sense whatsoever. Firstly, where did all the added mass come from? Is the earth just expanding like a hot air balloon? Secondly, life began in the oceans at a time when, according to your pictures (which, by the way, disagree with each other), there were no seas on earth.

I do not necessarily agree with >>38821 (especially because the time frames in pic 1 are way, WAY too short), but Earth technically should expand because it is not a closed system:

Earth receives energy from the sun. Said energy is turned to matter by plants, which eventually decay and fall to the ground as detritus. Now detritus is reabsorbed by plants as nutrients, of course, but by virtue of not being a closed system, Earth gets slightly more energy than its ecosystem can "recycle", so you find yourself with a growing layer of matter, if only slowly.

Or, to put it into more blunt terms: Ever wonder why an excavation actually requires you to excavate something beyond several feet of soil? Or why geologists can determine different ages of the Earth by the depth and composition of the given sample?

Earth does expand. Slowly, mind you - it also constantly loses matter that slips out to space in the form of gases - but so long as the sun shines, earth will "grow".

>>38830

This is not a mainstream theory people and scientist are playing with the idea that's why the pictures disagree with each other.

>Firstly, where did all the added mass come from?

There are different explanations for this, i believe that matter is actually being created in the earths and suns core and that when and how much matter is created depends factors we don't know.

>Is the earth just expanding like a hot air balloon?

Some people think that all planets grow and become gas giants and at some point they could become stars.
