all of you seem to miss one great big possible fact: what if the world looked much like it did today? it was a flood right? so the flood would've filled up all of the infertile lowlands, not just created drift.
if by some chance there WAS water in today's oceans back then, by the time of the flood, there would have been already an estimated 1600 cm of drift that comes out to just over 248 feet of drift! the flood would've escalated that to another 654,721.30..... feet of drift going by the 1/2 mile per hour formula. that comes out to thirty feet short of 655,000 feet of drift, or 124 miles! then give another 6,000-10,000 years for everything to calm down, the water degenerating at 1/2 of its normal "rage", if you will, per year, it will take about 5-10 years to come to near zero, resulting in the 1 cm/yr. if we take 10,000 yrs-5=9,995. 9995/2.54/12/5280= 0.062...miles. 124+.62+122.575...=just over 246.6 miles, nearly 1/11 of the current continental drift that science said we have gone through. the scientific 4.54 billion years of evolution say that going at 1 cm/yr =28210.25213 miles. it's WAY over the 3000 miles from Boston, Massachusets to London, England, but, as you can see, not close enough. where does that extra 200 miles come from?
there is also the possibility that in the bible, 7 days is not 7 physical night, day, night, day..., but over hundreds or thousands of years, giving plenty of time for contiental drift.
i f there WAS tectonic movement, it would be worldwide. tectonic movement of ANY kind is massive with only two plates moving. now imagine all eight major plates, seven minor plates, and dozens of smaller minor plates, all moving at once. it's certainly enough to move all of the continents around, crash into each other, and move away in an instant, thus creating islands, mountains, and the way that continents don't quite fit exactly.

you're not getting the point. if the continents moved at the current rate(about 1.5 cm a year) at the beginning of the world, america would have crashed into asia, britain would be where America is, Antatctica would be at the north pole, and Africa would be where antatctica is now. the distance between boston and London is over 3000 miles. the billions of years during the evolutionary period, would provide 28000 miles of drift. the world would look MUCH different than it already does.
now i know that pangaea broke up in the jurassic period, and i just did the math and it still comes out to less than half of where we are now. there is other evidence too though. the earth's rotation is slowing down. we are moving farther from the sun. the moon is moving farther from us due to lack in gravity. which all concludes that at the beginning of time, the earth rotated much, much faster, and that we were VERY close to the sun. those combined together make the earth uninhabitabe by ANYTHING up until 125 miles in space closer to the sun than our current position. now i'm too lazy to look anything more up so you'll have to do it yourself, and do the math. but i'm estimating that we were approximately where mercury currently is, and the days would be going as fast as you can snap your fingers. one hundred years from now, the day will be 2 milliseconds longer than it is now. i just did the math(on a calculator) and the days at the beginning of earth's history would be 252.2222..... hours faster. that's about ten minutes. so evolution CAN't be true and the flood obviously happened.

as you can see, i've edited my first post due to me not looking at the othere ones before it. i accounted for the 200 mil. and it still doesn't come out even. i also aded how evolution and the billions of years of the earth cannot be true because of other universal changes. in the 1500's astronomers also accounted that the earth moved farther from the sun and the moon from the earth, therefore, my assumptions are chronologically and scientifically correct. you cannot argue with the facts. just admit it. you're grasping at straws.

yes, thats why i said "less than half" if you add the drift eurasia is making, they still don't add up the 3000 some miles there are.
they are in my first post. i'm too lazy to repeat them.
i cannot do so because the search engines on my computer are acting up for some reason, and have been ever since i got this stupid computer. i am not imposing on you that my calculations are correct. go do it yourself and then if you come up with something different, and back it up, you have a plausible argument.
yes, but, they are purely facts. therefore, if you are arguing with what i am saying, you are arguing with what science is saying, therefore, contradicting yourself.
