Our transcription: Plate tectonics theory fundamentally changed the way Earth Scientists view our world. Acceptance of the theory has taken hold worldwide, although a few skeptics remain. There are skeptics to every theory, and I guess you would have to say whether we are talking about evolution or a spherical Earth. You would have to say there are skeptics. There are people I am told who don't believes that the Apollo Mission actually went to the moon. My belief is that it is a very healthy thing that there are such skeptics because they test our honesty basically. It's the emperor has no clothes sort of phenomenon. We all believe in a new hypothesis and accept it so completely that perhaps we don't test where we should, and it is very important that these skeptics exist.
