You can't observe something that just isn't there...
Not if you refuse to look.

Who was the first person to observe subduction? Where are the videos of this observation??? No, graphs and misread seismic recordings. Where are the videos?????? Where is the person that made the direct observation????
A Star forming can be "Observed" via a telescope. Peat moss or vegetation can be dug up and examined, "Observed". Theories can then be formulated as to how peat turned to coal. Science starts with the observation, not, the theory!
Next you'll be asking for a video of a star forming or of peat turning into coal.
We can see the ages of the Atlantic ocean where the youngest ocean bed is next to the Mid Atlantic Rift, and the oldest as you progress towards the continental coat lines. The ocean bed "Grows" from the middle outwards. What we do not "Observe" is the Atlantic Ocean bed having a uniform age. The Mediterranean Sea does generally have the same sea bed age, and is not growing.
btw I assume since you do not accept the existence of sunduction zones

And with subduction we observe the oceanic trench and volcanic arc, the changes in gravity, the composition of lava from the volcanoes,the pattern of earthquake activity and so on.
You clearly have no understanding of science or how it works and have your own ideas on the Earth and its history which you and only you know to be absolutely true and correct. Just as you and only you can determine the antiquity of desert ruins from a low resolution satellite image. That geologists study the Earth and archaeologists study the ruins and come to a very different conclusion is of no matter because the fact they disagree with you just proves they are wrong.

Most of us would like to think that fact not dogma governs scientific research. But if
Australian geologist S. Warren Carey is right, dogma and not fact dominates the science of
continental drift. The dogma affirms that the earth's size has remained constant throughout the
planet's history. The facts suggest otherwise. In his book The Expanding Earth (1976), Carey
argues that the earth is doing just that – expanding – and he backs up his thesis with a mountain
of evidence. Carey maintains that earth expansion is the fundamental cause of continental drift.
He therefore rejects Plate Tectonics, the most widely held drift theory, and he is particularly
critical of subduction, a hypothetical process essential to Plate Tectonics but one for which the
evidence is at best equivocal and at worst absent. A basic tenet of current drift theory,
subduction is dismissed by Carey as a myth that exists “only in the minds of its creators.”

Give me the name of the person who invented "Subduction".......... And I will show you the truth!

In short, because there exists ocean bed next to these imaginary subduction zones that are 140 - 208 million years old, would show these zones had subducted nothing in those 140-208 million year old beds, for the last 140-208 million years. The very fact that the beds are this old proves subduction, false.

Even a school kid should be able to see through that fallacy. It simply shows that that particular area of oceanic crust has been spreading for more than 208 million years - we can't say from that data alone how much longer because all the seabed created before 208 million years ago has been subducted.
If subduction does not occur, where are the 300 million year old se beds? Or the 4,500 million year old ones?
So, show me the research paper and the person who initiated the theory. Obviously this god did not include subduction as one of the biblical commandments. Show me why subduction is taught in schools as fact.
That'd be Mother Nature. Whom some call "God". But I have no idea on which planet in the universe She started it first
Ironically, Carey himself conceived of subduction in the late 1940s, years before it
became fashionable. In its wisdom, the American Geophysical Union rejected the paper because
the idea of subduction was considered “naive.” After subduction had become the rage in the
1970s, Carey, by then one of its critics, tried to resubmit his faded manuscript but to no avail.
Once rejected, a paper would not be considered again for publication. A bemused Carey, who
envisioned subduction at a time when few geologists even accepted the idea of continental drift,
no longer believes in subduction. Subduction is superfluous on an expanding earth. Since the
earth's surface area constantly increases, there is no need to offset the production of new crust.
Hence there is no need for subduction.

AO....yeah, no.
Was there for years, never again.
Their actions now contradict their mission statement IMO
