The observation is staring you in the face - the extrusion of the
mantle as ocean floors.  Until you have an explanation for how
subduction gets going
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/nonsense/rubber.html
..why subduction zones occur on continental margins
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/tck/latlong1.html
and why the continental lithosphere is said to force the oceanic
lithosphere down
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/nonsense/fails.html
there is no mechanism for subduction.

The default condition without subduction is that the Earth is getting
bigger.  Live with it.

The question you have to ask yourself is how you have gotten yourself
into the predicament you have, where you have no answer to these
questions.
