Because as far as our modern sciences have shown so far the articles and technology he describes, didn't exist in the time frame he gives.
As far as modern scholars are concerned Gravity is an uncaused omnipotent deity that spontaneously created the universe by violating conservation of matter and energy in a miraculous Big Bang that lead to invisible magic forces such as Dark Energy and Dark Flow and an infinity of galaxies.
This lead to a primordial soup which spontaneously generated magic crystals which miraculously evolved into living organisms.
Then single-celled organisms magically evolved into all the diversity of life we see including intelligent humans.
Modern science is a joke.
In reference to Atlas, he held the heavens on his shoulders.
Duh.
What has a flood in Attica got to do with the Antarctica? Different authors have given different dates to the Ogygian flood.
Well since you've never read Plato's Timaeus it's obvious you have no clue what floods have to do with Atlantis.
There wasn't one.
So the South Pole just magically shifted into a temperate Antarctica with no catastrophic climate effects?
How do you propose that's possible? Divine Intervention?
True polar wander
Main article: True polar wander
True polar wander, or the motion of the solid Earth with respect to a fixed spin axis that causes the spin axis to lie over a new geographic position, does occur. This is because of changes in mass distribution throughout the Earth that modify its moment of inertia tensor. The Earth consistently readjusts its orientation with respect to its spin axis such that its spin axis is parallel to the axis about which it has its greatest moment of inertia.[4] This readjustment is very slow. In 2001, historical evidence for true polar wander was found in paleomagnetic data from granitic rocks from across North America. The data from these rocks conflict with the hypothesis of a cataclysmic true polar wander event. This evidence indicated that the geographical poles have not deviated by more than about 5° over the last 130 million years.[18] More rapid past possible occurrences of true polar wander have been measured: from 790 to 810 million years ago, true polar wander of approximately 55° occurred twice.[4]
So it only has happened twice? What caused it to happen twice? Sounds like pseudoscientific hocus pocus and not science.
Unfortunately it doesn't account for the warm water coral, dinosaurs, and temperate forests that grew at the South Pole.
And it certainly doesn't account for maps of an ice-free Antarctica or Atlantis.
