the bulging of the earth's crust (by about a foot) caused by the PULL of the moon's gravity totally invalidates gravock the godbot's asinine hypothesis... 

he knows this... and this is why he refuses to move forward with his asinine hypothesis and perform ANY experiment to validate his asinine, fantastical claim. this is PRECISELY why he will respond to this post with more of his asinine word salad instead of presenting SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.

An equatorial bulge is a difference between the equatorial and polar diameters of a planet, due to the centrifugal force of its rotation.  Then the slight difference of 0.0178 m/s² between the gravitational acceleration at the poles and the gravitational acceleration at the equator due to the equatorial bulge is responsible for the 20 - 40 cm bulge in the earth's crust (cause and effect).  Again, you wrongly asserted something and psychologically projected your asininity onto me.

The moon doesn't have much power in holding things near to it's surface.  Yet, you guys disregard this and impute miraculous powers to the moon over large distances (238,900 miles away), such as moving large bodies of water and causing the earth's crust to bulge.  Wake up!

He was not talking about the equatorial bulge, which is indeed caused by centrifugal force.  He was talking about what is called the Earth Tide:

It exists and is measurable, so you telling us to wake up is not going to fly.

No, he was talking about the gravitational pull of the moon creating a bulge in the earth's crust.  Because of a planet's rotation around its own axis, the gravitational strength is less at the equator than at the poles due to the equatorial bulge caused by the centrifugal force.  The difference between the gravitational strength at the poles and the gravitational strength at the equator is because objects located on the equator are about 21 kilometers further away from the center of mass of the Earth than at the poles, which corresponds to a weaker gravitational strength. This difference in the gravitational strength of the earth having a variation in it's magnitude between the poles and the equator applies a persistence and constant force across the entire planet over a long period of time to cause a 20 - 40 cm bulge in the earth's crust.  The moon always in motion relative to the earth could never apply a persistent and constant force over the entire planet of a varying magnitude between the poles and the equator over a long period of time to cause the earth's crust to bulge.
