If I recall that correct the title was something like 'the logic of scientific reasoning'. In short it says, that you don't prove a theory. 'Theory' is a hypothesis, which withstood attempts to disprove it. 'Growing Earth hypothesis' is - of course - a hypothesis. So, feel free to disprove it. In the meantime I would like to disprove the 'Plate tectonic hypothesis'. That is kind of similar to a 'shoot out' in an old Western movie. The 'last man standing' (so to speak) gets the title 'theory'. TH
