That reply is so flawed that it’s not even worth addressing.

Strategerist - why don’t you help out stormer?

There are so many problems with this, I don't even know where to start - the author doesn't even have the decency to put his name on it! Not withstanding the grammatical errors, completely unsupported contentions, lack of any acknowledgment of well understood geological processes, the author can't even correctly identify the directional aspect of the Hawaiian Island chain. As far a “visual analysis” is concerned, that doesn't mean looking at Google Earth and guessing about stuff, it means applying known mechanisms to the problem at hand and developing comparable data to support a hypothesis. I really laughed when the author said he'd submitted his “findings” with Nature and the GSA - I wonder if he mentioned his view that a comet caused a global flood? Anyway, it's just crap.
