Rocks are not solid crystals and you KNOW this. They may have crystal 
inclusions in them, but rocks are not structure in crystal lattices.

Again, two faults in your thinking.
First, rocks are not crystals.
Second, you're applying human scale forces with your pliers and your 
hands. That's a PUNY force compared to what geological forces can apply.

Seems like a long way to go, with too many dependencies. See more below.

You are approaching science wrong. What you are doing is trying to 
elevate your own idea by proving another idea wrong. And in fact, you 
are finding you have to prove a whole CHAIN of theories wrong, ranging 
from plate tectonics to general relativity.

That's not how science works. A theory doesn't get notice by 
discrediting other theories by argument.

Theories compete PURELY on one basis and one basis alone: comparison of 
quantitative predictions against measurements. If you want your idea to 
get in the door, then there is only ONE way in science to do that: get 
your idea to make quantitative predictions of MEASURABLE outcomes that 
are different than the predictions of the current theory and then wait 
for measurements to tell you which one is right.

You've just got a misguided campaign for how science evaluates ideas.

You just talked about trying to bend salt with pliers! That's a HUMAN 
scale force, not a geological scale force!

Exactly.

Sorry, but numbers are important, and a billion is ten times ten 
thousand ten-thousands. If you find that this is all just lost in the 
noise, then you really don't have any gut feel for the quantitative side 
of science, do you?

Have you tried Googling "deformation of rock"?
