Craziest Belief Ever?
I thought this was fascinating.
Growing Earth Theory states that the only possible explanation for planets, stars and tectonic movement is that the Earth is expanding. Apparently the use of peer review in scientific literature is what prevents them from being taken seriously.

He isn't entirely incorrect from a certain standpoint. The earth is continually gaining mass from debri of meteorites that constantly bombard the earth and thus add to it's mass and so effectively make it "grow"
Obviously the concepts of scale he's proposing are ridiculous as are his testing methods and his presentation (which reads like it's been written by a teenager)
It's quite sad that people dedicate themselves to such bizarre things but then the same has been said about many scientists who were later proven right.

Not really fair to pick them out of the bunch.
Sure I think they're loony, but looking at it objectively. Is the belief in a Galactic Overlord who captured, froze and them tossed millions(billions?) of aliens into volcanos on a primative Earth; who's souls now inhabit humans and are the reason for all our shortcomings really, (and I mean really) that much of a stretch in rational thought than believing God became a man birthed from a virgin or believing the "one prophet" fly up into heaven on a flying horse?
