Another nutcase view I have is that I don't believe in tectonic plate theory. Sure the continents appear to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. But there's just no way (IMHO) that the earth expanded, causing the continents to drift apart. I mean, the continents are hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles apart. And the oceans are at most only a few miles deep. It seems more likely to me that portions of the earth either settled to be slightly lower, or were just formed lower, so as to create the various oceans and seas.
