Future behavior is most reliably predicted by past behavior, whether it be aminate or inanimate.

Isn't that how our human brains work? Aren't all human predictions based on past observations? What else is there? What's the ratio of correct human predictions versus incorrect predictions?
For me, to think of it as normal geologic processes versus what? is just humans believing that we know the truth - that our current predictions are right. Sure, maybe. For me, the what? is not "abnormal" geologic processes, it's us admitting that we don't really know everything about what "normal" geologic processes are, but accepting that the reasons are normal even though we don't understand them. Sure lets keep trying to understand them :-)
Thanks for the thread!
