Ok, there is devil's mountain, how did it form? was it the center of some giant sea and it's all that remains or is it the petrified remains of something else?

interesting thought, but magnaflows create complete smooth surfaces, its definitely a possibility but not very likely cause the structure has no recognition of any type of magmaflow around it

"here is no evidence of volcanic activity - volcanic ash, lava flows, or volcanic debris - anywhere in the surrounding countryside" - so any guess is within limits.

yes,i know the theory, but i also know that theories merely try to speculation things that are unknown, and that any given theory is only speculation based on what we think is probable, and that what we think is probable - is likely to change.

I have a theory too, it worries me how easily you are convinced in something if someone has a piece of paper that authorizes them in telling you what to think.

the problem is you brought up a topic just to bring up nonsense. literally just a dude making shit up out of nowhere based on nothing but current day cosmetics.

you completely disregarded a video that could of been educational on a geological structure and instead posted nonsense. it's neither educational nor informative and only furthers your own agenda of pseudoscience must be more realers than regular science cause looks like tree stump bro.

is there any piece of mainstream research you do give credit to? cause it seems like you choose pseudoscience every time.

Sounds like your angry because you dont know the difference between a theory and a fact, and not sure how that's my fault for pointing it out.

considering i never even said i believe anything in particular i'm going to have to point out the dodge you just performed.

and to be clear...you're the one that doesn't understand the difference between a theory and a scientific theory.
