Discussion

Plate Tectonics Discussion: Share your comments & also make your comments on others ideas.

Obviously, the results of plate tectonics creates human pain, suffering & death. Plate tectonics have existed on Earth well before humans were around.

Could God have created Earth without the harmful aspects of plate tectonics? but at what cost? If we remove plate tectonics, what else have we lost?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having an Earth with plate tectonics for us humans? – Think in terms of the needs of human civilizations (magnetic field, climate, surface temperatures, natural resources).

Of all the worlds yet discovered, ours is the only one confirmed to have plate tectonics. In fact, plate tectonics may have started with the Mars size planet (Theia) that collied with Earth about 4.5 bya and eventually formed our moon.

Why would God want plate tectonics to occur on Earth?

Can you relate this to Colossians 1:15-17? What are the blessings and what are our responsibilities as God’s care-takers for the planet?
