The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old

[Zen Badger]

The generally accepted creation position on continental drift is that the majority of it took place as a runaway mechanism during the year of the flood.

And your evidence for this position is.....? And why would a global flood cause runaway continental drift? Tectonic plates are many miles below the Earth's surface! You're going to say that a flood caused South America and Africa to become separated by thousands of miles in a few months?

And that's without factoring in the energy released by billions of tons of continental plate travelling at thousands of miles an hour that would've boiled off the oceans and turned the planet into a smouldering ember that still would not have cooled down.
