By that logic, ALL of the world would have had to have been under water at some point, and at the same time. There should be a universal underwater level which as you find higher ground would subside as the earth 'expanded', the problem is thats not what you find.

Also just because you're using an expanding earth theory does not meant that tectonics somehow goes right out the window. Even with an expanding earth there are still huge slabs of continent that need float on mantle that need to go someplace. As the earth expands they will break apart and move as they have been.

Well no you do. You see the expanding earth theory was used to explain why the continents fit together the way they do and how they spread apart (forming the seas). If you throw plate tectonics into there you don't need an expanding earth theory to explain anything. Its 'well the continents move, oh and the earth is getting magically bigger too'.

Other planets and moons in the solar system show extremely strong evidence for expansion and contraction. Contrary to what some people would have you believe the earth is a planet that follows the same laws as the other ones do.

Please give some examples.
