There are other theories too, ya know...such as Crustal Displacement, for example.
It would take a long post to point out every flaw in this article, so I'm just going to take out the mechanism that supposedly drives this 'crustal displacement.'
In the article it states that the earth has a liquid layer some 100 miles beneath the surface. This is false according to what is known and can be observed concerning the behavior of waves in solids and liquids.
Ever wonder how geophysicists came up with the model of the earth's interior with its solid crust, denser mantle, a liquid outer core, and a solid inner core? It is because of the way waves travel in solids and liquids. There are different kinds of waves created by earthquakes: pressure waves, shear waves, Love waves, and Raliegh waves. Pressure waves travel through solids and liquids, shear waves do not travel through liquids, they only travel through solids. You can not 'shear' a liquid.
The reason why geophysicists know that the outer core is liquid is because if an earthquake occurs, there is a sizeable area on the other side of the earth where there are only pressure waves but no shear waves. If there was a layer of liquid 100 miles deep, this sizeable area on the other side of the earth where only pressure waves and no shear waves are picked up would be a lot larger.
Therefore the proposed driving mechanism for crustal displacement, a liquid layer 100 miles down, flat-out does not exist.
That, and as Subbie pointed out, the source of your information appears to be a looney that believes in everything except science.
