I will try to answer several posts here

Subduction

I am not a 'subduction denier'. And I do not suggest my theory explains subduction any better than plate tectonics.

Rodinia

Your analogies showing coalescence and separation of layers are moot.

However the idea of continental drift does not address the observation that the older continents form a sphere absent the oceans, and that coastal features match across the Pacific as well as the Atlantic. In order to successfully attack the idea that Earth has expanded from this smaller sphere it is necessary to show that the observed correlation between opposing Pacific coastlines is coincidental, or provide a mechanism within the continental drift paradigm to explain for this.
