Re: Sea mounts
Is 20 feet per day such an outlandishly fast rate? That's ten feet of separation on either side of the mid-Atlantic ridge being generated daily or less than 6 inches hourly.
Yes.
"Ranges of Spreading throughout the world's oceans: 1 cm/yr to 10 cm/yr."
Calculating Sea Floor Spreading
When the rates vary between 1 and 10 cm per year, your rate of ca. 600 cm per day is pretty silly.
And the funniest part is you don't have any evidence to support it. You're just making it all up as you go.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Sea mounts
I figured a distance of 3000 miles (roughly that between Europe and North America) that had to be covered in 4300 years ending at a speed of two to four inches per year. That is what gave me the 20 feet per day starting speed.
I know where you got your figures.
But the 4300 year figure is based on a myth, not real evidence. You may believe it but that doesn't make it real.
And you have an absolutely closed mind whenever evidence which shows you are wrong is presented. You just can't -- won't -- see it.
That is the exact opposite of science, which has to follow the evidence no matter where it leads.
