It's amazing isn't it?  For a hundred years, people work at finding
out how the continental crust deforms, ...brittle structures, ductile
structures, faults folds, everything under the sun, and every size,
and then, having recognised that the crust has pulled apart on a huge
scale, they balk, ...they forget everything they ever learned, and
treat the continents like immutable shapes that come out of a jigsaw
box.  They think they can fit them together as if they were grey
featureless masses.  They might not have ever learned any geology at
all, for all the good it has done them.  Geophysicists have to be the
worst.  They refuse to acknowledge (and question)the basic assumption
on which everything is based, and which they would see is patently
flawed if they were the slightest bit geologically competent.  Instead
they dwell in the 'what if' neverland fantasy of subduction. For no
other reason that it suits the machinations of numbers, and the 'what
if' axioms that typically predicate their convolutions.  To them, the
geology might as well be a featureless mass.  *Is a featureless mass. 
 It is irrelevant to them.  They have set back progress in Earth
Siences (and probably a fair bit in astronophysics as well) a good
half-century. Used public funding to do it.  And declared it a bonus.

Would you buy a used car from these people, much less an education?  

They're a joke.    A great big Joke.  

Plate tectonics is a concept every bit as laughable as pre-Copernican
astronomy, and with a high degree of similarity.  The only big
difference is in the several hundred years that separate them.  The
mistakes are exactly the same - flawed assumptions elevated to
ecclesiastical status, and promulgated by popes.

Ha.      Ha.       Ha.
