All over our planet, there are
rifts where continental plates separate. These are easy to find, and the rate of expansion can be exactly measured. However, there is no evidence of the opposite happening. The so called
subduction process is nowhere to be seen. It is assumed to exist in certain places, but never seen or measured. Yet with rifts opening up at a rate of several centimeters a year, subduction should be as plentiful as rifts, and they should be easy to spot.
The absence of any evidence for subduction leads us to the conclusion that our planet must be expanding.
