People often are unconvinced that scientific theories are real, but really only focus on evolution. Is the theory of plate tectonics equally as controversial?
[spoiler]edit: Yes. I. The Earth.

5 RepliesWhile I think plate tectonics has some merit, I dont think it lends credence to the idea of a spherical earth. As I have described in detail elsewhere, the upwards motion of the disk of the Flat Earth though space, plus the obligate tendency of all unsupported objects to fall downwards through space, creates the effects of what spherists call "gravity". The Flat earth likely has three layers: the Proximal (upper) crust, the molten layer, and the distal (lower) crust. Due to the upwards force exerted by upwards motion, plus the downwards tendency of the earth to fall through space, the molten layer gets compressed between the proximal and distal crust layers, causing the tectonic and volcanic activity we observe.
