I will add one last commet:
First of all it is not "YOUR" theory, and secondly, it is not a scientific theory at all. It is a religious belief, and a ridiculous one at that.
Take it from a real geologist. He is right. You are wrong. You know nother about geology, much less what geologists know about the mantle of the Earth. Any suggestion that mantle tock has or had water in it was put to bed by this seminal research. It's a landmark study, dude (but certainly not the only one along these lines). Oh, and if you have a science degree, you should ask for a refund for the bad education you received, because, damn, you got ripped off.

Quote:Why did you just accept his claim that he is a Physicist? I thought you guys were supposed to call him a liar and ask him who he works for and what school he went to and what courses he took? Or do you only do this when the person with the Science degree disagrees with you? Not very objective I see, not surprised though. The aricle posted earlier about water in the mantle actually said that it is a popular belief amongst geophysicists that the mantle DOES contain water (even though the article was aruging against this view, it admitted that this is a view held by many in the field). So to claim that this is a silly or uncommon view makes you actually look rather silly. Rather you should say that this is a view that is debated in modern science today, but the evidence is certainly not conclusive.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
