The religion of evolution thumping!!! Evolution this, evolution that, evolution this, evolution that!
All the while, the 300m year old theory was debunked. The continents moved really fast at first. I mean, really really fast.

First, we must take the continental shelves into account. Then..
Brittle rock slowly buckling over hundreds of millions of years without cracking or showing any stress fractures? Oh please. From New Zealand:

Quote:Figure 49: Buckled Mountain. Textbooks and museums frequently refer to some uplifting force that formed mountains. Can you see that an uplifting force, by itself, would not produce this pattern? Horizontal compression was needed to buckle these sedimentary layers near the Sullivan River in southern British Columbia, Canada. Such layers—seen worldwide—must have been soft, like wet sand, at the time of compression. Today, surface rocks are brittle.

Quote:Figure 50: Continental Fit Proposed by Edward Bullard. Can you identify five distortions in this popular explanation of how the continents once fit together? First, Africa was shrunk in area by 35%. Second, Central America, southern Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands were removed. Third, Australia is ignored, because it’s fit anywhere is problematic—and where is Asia? Fourth, a slice was made through the Mediterranean, and Europe was rotated counterclockwise and Africa was rotated clockwise. Finally, North and South America were rotated relative to each other. Notice the rotation of the north-south and east-west lines. Overlapping areas are shown in black. Scientific justifications are not given for any of these five distortions.

Quote: Instead of fitting the continents to each other, notice above how well they each fit the base of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The hydroplate theory proposes that:
a. These continents were once in the approximate positions shown above.
b. They were connected by rock that was rapidly eroded and transported worldwide by erupting subterranean water.
c. As these eroded sediments were deposited, they trapped and buried plants and animals. The sediments became today’s sedimentary rock, and buried organisms became fossils.
d. The continents quickly slid on a layer of water (rapid continental drift) away from the rising Mid-Atlantic Ridge and toward the subsiding Pacific floor. They came to rest near their present locations.

Quote:Thick, tightly bent strata without sign of melting or fracturing. E.g. the Kaibab upwarp in Grand Canyon indicates rapid folding before the sediments had time to solidify (the sand grains were not elongated under stress as would be expected if the rock had hardened). This wipes out hundreds of millions of years of time and is consistent with extremely rapid formation during the biblical Flood. See Warped earth (written by a geophysicist).
