How about some billions of years ago, a huge ice ball crashed into Earth, splitting the land, lopping off a chunk making our moon, changing our orbital orientation / spin, getting us closer to our sun, melting the ice, making the oceans / weather. The water has germs in it creating life as we know it now.

The problem with science is that, unfortunately, we can't just make stuff up. We need actual evidence for theories.

What does it matter how we got here? Isn't it more important to focus on where we are headed?

Learning how we got here is essential to understanding how the planet works. We can't have any idea where we're going if we don't understand how we got to where we are.

No, the video says that the earth is expanding, so continents are getting further away, not closer.

Ok my mistake. Probably meant one of the others in the time line from the site I put up.

They conveniently fail to explain how or why the Earth is getting bigger. It would have to be getting less dense, but seismic surveys indicate that Earth is still extremely dense, especially at its core. If it was shrunk, its gravity would make it inhospitable. And no oceans would mean no rain and no marine life.

The Earth had to expand in order for it to hold Kanye West's big ego.

So you are saying, if you were dropped off in a strange place, you wouldn't even try to find your way out of your dilemma? Having a vision of where you want to go seems good enough for me. Just look at all the history of wars. That's where we came from. I just think that there must be a better way than killing our own species. I guess understanding our past mistakes (should) keep us from repeating them.

Go figure.

The analogy of geology to stepping out of a car is tenuous at best. And war? What on earth does war have to do with the study of earth?

We cannot understand geological processes or change without investigating how they have worked to create the planet we have today.

It is essential to understand about how the earth operates in order to predict events like hurricans tital waves and so on; even about changes in sea level. All these affect costal communities. Volcanos happen because of continental drift and subduction. Mountain ranges were formed through continents colliding according to geological eidence. It is not a conspiracy thory but from evidence that is all arround us, like chalk clifs that could have only be formed under waer but are now high above it.
