Many geologists agree with this scenario, Moores said. What is controversial is how quickly the Earth changed from a planet covered in water with a few mountainous islands to one with large continental landmasses. According to Moores' theory, the continents emerged quite suddenly, over about 200 million years, at the same time that the supercontinent Rodinia was forming

We've also had ice ages which nearly covered the earth in water ice.

One odd thing in that is that he seems to say an oxygenated atmosphere preceded life.
"In turn, these environmental changes may have led to rise in atmospheric oxygen that enabled the explosion of new life forms around 500 million years ago".

The evidence indicates the opposite - life created the oxygen.

That is an odd statement, since geologists think plate tectonics had already cycled through several ~500 million year long supercontinent cycles, where large continentals coalesce and the breakup, going back 3 billion years, long before the supercontinent of Rodinia formed. It seems an unusually high proportion of core of modern continents were formed between 3.5-2.5 billion years ago.

I chose that link because it was the first one I found that substantiated my claim that there is consensus among geologists that the ocean where here first and the continents came later. The actual theory being discussed could be poppycock.....I haven't given it a lot of thought nor am I inclined too.

Did you miss out. Thunderf00t devoted part of his "Why do people laugh at creationists?" series to tearing him to pieces over it. As did dprjones, who coined the name "Lunar Bukkake theory".

Nephy even went as far as to say we would find fossilised sea life on the Moon, deposited by Noah's flood hitting the surface. I wish I was joking.

Psst.... NephilimFree is a lunatic.

I watched a few of those videos. He's definitely one of the crazier youtube christians.

One website dost not a consensus maketh.
