Okay, granted. But surely _some_ "alternative" ideas are so lame that
we're entitled to ignore them. Expanding earth is several credibility
points below Flat Earth, and we don't beat them into dead-horse pate.

We don't, but then they don't come here offering pseudo-evidence to
support this assertion, either. Those of them who are not jokesters
seem to be fairly honest religious fanatics, and do not pretend that
their ideas stand without their bible.

<sigh>

Now watch them start showing up, just to prove me an idiot.
