Another poster who pretends to be knowledgeable but doesn't know how to 
spell prominent scientists' names, in this case Wegener's. You don't 
even have patdolan's excuse that this is a foreign name for you.

It may have been a credible theory in 1930, but 93 years have passed 
since then. According to Wikipedia, "the theses of Ott Christoph 
Hilgenberg and Nikola Tesla were based on absorption and transformation 
of aether-energy into normal matter". Hmm. Do you believe in 
aether-energy?

So? I did my doctoral work in the very same building as William Perkin 
Jr. Big deal, but it doesn't make me cite Perkin's ideas as gospel 
truth.
