So you've never read pages 132 to 135 of Maxlow's Terra Non Firma Earth then? The book where he outlines the evidence in detail and reproduces the charts that indicate large periodic adjustments of the data. One chart near Canberra shows an arbitrary adjustment of 71 mm during 1993 to 1994. This would have resulted in a severe earthquake if it was real. Similar severe adjustments are also noted in a selection of other charts.
lucek answered this much better than I could have hoped to. I'll stick to what I know and that is that no EE proponent (including Maxlow) has done anything other than handwave away the critical objection that there is simply no plausible explanation for where the extra mass comes from.
Furthermore, the known mechanisms for addition of mass to the Earth cannot supply the extra mass and any other mechanism violates 1LoT. Additionally, even if the extra mass was supplied by accretion, as my napkin maths of the previous page demonstrates, it would melt the crust of the Earth - where is the melting?
Melting: Seventy some percent is less then 200mya. 200 mya the Atlantic simply did not exist. When you consider that the vast majority of the pacific is the same age as the pacific, your napkin math has founds its realitvely new surface. While I would be very interested in knowing more about what the global rift system looked like 1 week after a mass extinction event... I doubt we would be around or orginsed enough to take notes if it happened again.
