If geologists say "this is entirely consistent with the way sandstone behaves, especially in tectonically active regions", then I'm inclined to believe them, and indeed, the burden of proof is not on mainstream archaeologists to prove that they are not man-made, but rather the other side. And so far, there is no compelling evidence to suggest these are man-made structures, nor is it supported by a wealth of archaeological evidence that points to the first settlements (the Natufian mesolithic culture. Semi-sedentary, maybe, but oh well) starting around 15,000 years ago in the Levant.
Furthermore, yes, sea-levels were lower at the last glacial maximum (until, I think, the start of the Holocene 10kya): if there was some magical mysterious culture that started making these massive megaliths, and they are apparently widespread, why on earth is there no evidence of them on land? As in, really, NO evidence on land. No megaliths. No artifacts that point to anything but hunting and gathering being predominating until the Neolithic.
But, of course, there are always people who insist on believing this tripe just because it goes against the grain. Or, they believe Plato was actually being serious when he was talking about Atlantis.
