Or am I wrong to assume that believers actually give any credence to tectonic plate theory?
On the other hand, even most serious geologist - people astronomically more intelligent, reasonable and perceptive than any modern day young earth creatard, and have known since 1700s that the earth must be several orders of magnitude older than ancient Hebrews knew how to count - have managed to not believe in plate tectonics until 1965-1970, and have managed to reconcile the match between the shape of eastern coast of South American and western coast of sub Saharan Africa with pure coincidence during majority of time when geology existed as a modern science.
