What is Dogmagma?

I love play on words. They help me to understand something better or remember something for a longer period of time. Usually they’re silly where I’ll be one to LOL about it. My wife, who has a different kind of sense of humor, will give a little chuckle or just a blank stare. “The fattest knight at King Arthur’s round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.” Or “You can tune a piano but you can’t tune a fish.”Lastly, “To write with a broken pencil is pointless.” Sometimes a pun is used for convenience in speaking or writing. They don’t need to be a full on sentence. They could be a single word like “Dogmagma”. This comes from two words in one, dogma and magma.  

Dogma is the official system of principles or tenets concerning faith, morals, behavior, etc. of a church or religion. In the scientific community it is a settled or established opinion,belief, or principle. 

Magma, the molten rock assumed to be under the Earth’s crust, has never been observed, which is a requirement in scientific discovery. Despite never having been observed it is taught in all textbooks, being used in schools and colleges today, that it’s true. Magma is a pseudotheory. Because it has never been observed it is only an opinion or belief that it exists. (It is also what scientists believe what our continents are floating on.)

FQ: What are the continents really floating on if magma doesn’t exist?

So instead of reading “the dogma of magma” in the Universal Model we read “dogmagma”.
