We see any number of arguments that "X" is possible when dealing with YEC arguments.
Example: speed of movement of tectonic plates -- to get from one continent just after the flood (so the animals can disperse to their current locations) the blocks must move at a pretty fantastic clip ... is it possible? Technically anything is "possible" but a critical analysis says that it is not very possible ... To get a handle on this I propose a metric to deal with this issue: The POMM, the "Possibility Order of Magnitude Metric."
Take the current known maximum rate (CKMR)-- any proposal that uses this rate is assigned a POMM value of 1 (highly possible) Double that rate is assigned a POMM of 0.5 (fairly possible) The rest is an exponential curve:
POMM = (1/2)r where r = proposed rate / CKMR So if one proposes that continents move at 1 foot per day when the CKMR is 1 inch per year the POMM would be (1/2)(12x365) = 3.08048424410⁻⁹  Edited by Admin, : Remove unnecessary and possibly confusing "^" characters.by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.
