[_ Old Earth _] Continental Drift

[Deep Thought]

I'd be curious as to what YEC scientific explaination there may be to explain how the continents could possibly have moved from when they were all clustered in Gondwanaland to their current positions.

If the earth is <6000 years old (or even it if were quite a few thousand years older than that), the speed of the plate tectonics would be absolutely extraordinary given that they currently move at around the same rate as a finger nail grows.

There already is a thread about the problems of Brown's hydroplate hypothesis which is waiting for your response:

I forgot, i'll get to it, but this thread is about continental drift, in the video it explians it.

So apart from a flawed and discredited theory (and I use that term in the non-scientific sense), are there any more explainations?

Flawed and discredited ? i can through those words to the ToE but it does not solve anything,

Brown's hydroplate hypothesis has no evidence to back it up and even a lot of Creationists think it's flawed.

If Brown had a scientific, peer reviewed (by real scientists) hypothesis, then I might start listening.
