Indeed, but that's why they don't just use one section of DNA, as I understand it. Can't really remember the details. Seemed convincing and reliable at the time though.

well nobody really understands how the land masses on earth were formed. all there is is theories. what is wrong with this one?

Shall we start with the fact that centrifugal forces don't exist?

how do you know?

Because if a centrifugal force were pushing things away from the centre they were spinning around then that would be the direction of their acceleration. Durr.

CF forces were not implied in the continents spreading out, but in the building up of hugh volcanoes to crack the earth and split the land.

It doesn't matter what you implied centrifugal force in, the fact that it doesn't exist kind of puts a damper on things.

no it doesn't because whatever i imply does not change what is. volcanoes get formed and basic common sense says if the land was one mass then huge volcanoes would be formed.

I'm pretty sure the fact that the Earth is spinning doesn't have as huge as affect on volcanoes as you'd think. Also what common sense says that having a Pangaea type landmass would give rise to bigger volcanoes?
