The only mountains that now exit where seas once were are volcanic. Few and far between at that.

Really? I guess you don't read much. Here's an excerpt from the beginning of an article posted at the NY Times site.

WHALE FOSSILS HIGH IN ANDES SHOW HOW MOUNTAINS ROSE FROM SEA
By MALCOLM W. BROWNE
Published: March 12, 1987

Scientists have found fossils of whales and other marine animals in mountain sediments in the Andes, indicating that the South American mountain chain rose very rapidly from the sea.

Just use Google. It's easy!


If you like to learn something about how scientists work, get a book or go to night school. (I assume your formal education is behind you)

As for your snotty comment, you are the one who has a lot to learn. My degrees are in science from a school with a very high national reputation. I return from time to time to other schools with national reputations and engage professors there in subjects such as this we are considering here. As for books, I have a personal library that most people can only dream about, including I would assume yourself.

From your NYTs link...

Among the fossils the scientists reported bringing back were the bones of whales and other marine animals found at altitudes of more than 5,000 feet. When these animals died from 15 million to 20 million years ago,...

I guess your exceptional scientific education didn't include higher mathematics so you can't appreciate the difference between the number ten thousand and fifteen million. LOLOL
