The continental breakup came with the flood, scripture tells us that the earth split open and great amounts of water flowed forth, this is what I think happened as far as the continents being formed. This would account for the mountains which, biblically could not have existed or there would have been rain before the flood, because of the uplifting of air caused by mountains. This would explain why rain fell as it does today after the flood and why rain did not fall before the flood. Also with such destructive forces going on it would explain why the evidence for the flood no longer exist.
I do believe that the world could be 50,000 years old, we do have a dating system that is accurate to that age. Even at 50,000 years from a biblical standpoint of creation the gene pool would be pure and there would not have been enough time to completely ruin it. Actually I do believe that between the time Adam brought sin into the world and the flood were some 1700 years, this small amount of time would not have had much effect on a pure gene pool. Of course these are my beliefs and because my profession is not science I can not prove it, I do see it to be a plausible idea.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
