whirling mirk: that is the most illogical nonsense I've ever heard.
A flood causing the continents to all break apart and speed away from each other like floating pieces of ice in the ocean? You do understand that it is rock formation, they don't just float, a flood does not cause massive shifting of ocean floors, why would it? What's the goal. Just imagine your theory to yourself for a moment.
It's amazingly nonsensical.

there's only "micro plate tectonics"

Obviously Genesis doesn't hold all the scientific answers about the creation of the universe. After all, there are alot of things that mankind didn't understand in the time it was written. So God sent the message of creation in simplistic terms, so that early man could get the concept that God created everything.
As we advance as a race, and we learn more from science, we're able to see more clearly the steps that God took to form the earth the way it is now. We're able to learn about things like the real age of the earth, the shifting of the continents, and the stages of evolution.
The Bible was never meant to be an scientifically accurate history book. And those who continue to take it as such are missing out on learning more about the nature of God and his power.

yes
it's like this... picture a pool table...
a shot... the balls roll quickly and scatter at first... but then slow... and slower... and slower....
during the flood of Noah when the floodgates of the deep were broken up the continents had 'runaway subduction" moving much faster than today as the world before the flood was catastrophically changed and the geological column as we know it today was largely laid down...
if you assume the pool balls always moved at the same rate they were moving or not moving when the slowly rolled to a stop you would come to the wrong conclusion about what happened

For one giant continent, yes. For a slow separation of it, no.
