Modern Science proves the Authenticity of the Glorious Qur'an

Response: What do you mean by "what model"?
She means what version of isostacy are you subscribing to?




Three principal models of isostasy are used:
  • The Airy-Heiskanen Model: where different topographic heights are accommodated by changes in crustal thickness.
  • The Pratt-Hayford Model: where different topographic heights are accommodated by lateral changes in rock density.
  • The Vening Meinesz Model: where the crust acts as an elastic plate and its inherent rigidity spreads topographic loads over a broader region.
Oddly, I would have thought you would known about the differing models of isostasy. Oh well.

Your using the word "buoy" as a noun in your argument, which makes no sense. It's a verb. Buoyancy means "to keep afloat". How on earth can you move up and down a "to keep a float". It doesn't make sense. You can't move a verb. A verb describes movement.

LOL - It would appear that Fatihah is now going to limit the debate to his understanding of the English language. If he says that "up" means anything below you, then that is the definition you must use.

There is no end to the lunacy that eminates from this guy.

PS - I know, I know - you see a statement, but you don't see any proof.

I know you well enough, Ymir. This post HAS to be tongue-in-cheek.

Surely you didn't really think this clown even knew that different models existed - much less understood the distinctions between them.

Fatihah, try to keep up.

Isn't that odd. Fatihah has not come back to tell me that my dictionary excerpts are wrong yet.
 
Mr Spinkles said:
For example, in your first paragraph you say "the larger plate is pushed downward and the smaller is pushed upward as the principle of isostacy clearly states". No, it doesn't state that. I don't know what principle that is that you described, but it is not isostacy.
Fatihah said:
Response: That's a statement. Where's the proof? Isostasy does say this, as I have provided proof for and is clearly shown in post 509.
No there's nothing about "the larger plate is pushed downward and the smaller is pushed upward" in post #509, sorry.

Fatihah said:
My simple question is this, are you telling me that this statement that clearly says that mountains balance the earth's surface is not actual proof that mountains balance the earth's surface? Yes or No?
I have already answered this several times. No point repeating myself.

Seems that Fatihah has been reduced to "'I know you are but what am I'" type responses.
I sure hope Allah is mighty proud of him,
'Cause I would downright embarrassed.

And so, hopefully, ends a train wreck of a thread.

I think that one conclusion that can be made from this thread is that fanaticism not something to be taken lightly.

Another is in the modern proverb, "They walk among us."
