In the area I live in the coastline is being eroded away at a phenomenal rate. So if this happened for 200 million years the continents would have lost much of their original shape-but they still fit together well enough to form the original circle so a few thousand years does not seem to have affected their shape as much as I would have expected in 200million years.
A blatent missuse of the concept of uniformitarianism!!!
Such extreme applications of uniformitarianism has LONG been discarded by mainstream geologic thought.
