Obviously this change is quicker than most scientists believed it would be, and seems to counter currently accepted theories, that’s not in question. What I find laughable is the way anything that is observed outside of current theory is taken by sites like ICR and others as proof of absolute absurd concepts.

Yep, We’ve seen the rift moving at 2.25 inches in a month, that means some guy who worked backwards from 6000 years to get his numbers must be right and plates can move 100s of miles per month... I mean it moved at 2.25 inches in amonth, then 100+ miles must be valid too.

The orders of magnitude to make such statements are just absurd. Look at any subduction plane currently, for example, take a look at the Indonesian Tsunami, this was a subduction quake look at the devestation this caused and we know these plates aren’t moving 100s of miles per year Indonesia, or Java or Austrialia while moving are not moving anywhere near those rates, yet when the subduction zone releases from the stresses of just a few inches or feet annually over long periods of time the resulting quakes bring about devestation.. yet we are to believe plates are subducting at rates of 100s of miles per month? Its just not supported by any evidence.. is it possible that plates have shifted relatively large distances in relatively short time frames... certainly, but not thousands of miles in “months”.. the geological upheaval from such movements would be so massive the scars (even on a living active planet) would be unmistakable.

I don't have a six thousand year old earth to defend but it can't be said that features like rifts needed millions of years to occur either as demonstrated in Ethiopia.

In speaking of absurd concepts, evolutionist have their own share of the same such as a creature (human, ape? what?) squatting down gave it flat feet which made it easier to walk upright. Or Ardi limping around.
