Heat release from tectonic friction

If you forced the plates into their current positions from where they were at the middle of the jurassic when pangea split apart, you would have the mass of all the current ocean floors created in 4000 years. Imagine all of that lava pouring into the ocean in a very short period of time. The ocean would boil off.

I think the bible is clear that there was 6000 years from the creation of Adam to today, but it certainly isn't clear that the time it took for God to create the universe and the earth adam was only 6 days. If you are going to insist that the first chapter of Genesis means this, then you are going to have to interpret 24 hours everytime you see the word day in the bible. Are you willing to do that?

If you are going to claim that an honest reading of the bible demands an earth that is 6000 years old, the onus is on you to back that up. It certainly is on topic. Heat release from tectonic friction doesn't matter if the earth is 4.56 billion years old. It matters one heck of a lot, however, if it is only 6,000 years old. The very least you could do is give some reason as to why anyone should interpret the "days" in Genesis 1 as being 24 hours in length.

Pangaea existed for a wide expanse of time. It started coming together in the carboniferous and was complete about 250 million years ago and started to break apart in the jurassic. I would say that it ceased to exist when there was a body of water completely seperating north and south america from europe and africa, although fragments of it persisted like antarctica being connected to australia for some time.
