Very good - now if you just read the rest at his website you’ll see explanations for nearly every problem you have just described. Or do only the critics of YEC theory get to bend your ears?
Sorry, but you can’t bend Physics to your will. My ears and eyes are very open, and it is due to that that I and most everyone else, creationists included reject this theory and its author.
It doesn’t pass any number of the most basic smell tests.
It asks for suspension of reason, and I for one, believe that in addition the immortal soul, one of the other thing that seperates us from the beasts of the fields is the ability to Reason. God does not ask us to suspend reason to believe in him or his works. The author of the hydroplaning continents asks for complete suspension of reason to buy into his theories.
There is nothing in this mans writings on this particular theory that remotely can exist with know sciences, be them physics, geology or hydromechanics, just to name a few.
For a theory to questions one area of studies assumptions it may perhaps have merit, for a “theory” to claim all areas of study are completely wrong in every fundamental aspect for your theory to be true, requires the willful suspension of reason, and I do not believe God asks us to forbid and deny the use one of the greatest gifts he has given us in order to glorify him.
This “theory” isn’t science.. its an attempt to work backwards from a biblical story and extrapolate someway in which it could fit a predisposition to a predetermined conclusion. Not one based on Reason, but on requirement of a particular outcome.
Secondly, to try to argue that the seperation being seen today at the Great Rift is proof of this hydroplaning techtonic plates is even more absurd, for if you believe in his theory, then if this plate is moving faster than expected it must be moving because there is a layer of water still beneath the surface worldwide allowing this movement to happen so quickly.. and of course, we know there is no such body of water between the crust and the core.
There just isn’t a leg to stand on for this theory.. and its completely disingenuous for a site like ICR to try to take a rift that has actually been seperating slowly for eons, and we’ve known was doing this for over a century, suddely breaks into an open visible crack at the surface faster than postulated, proves the hydro theory or is an example of it.
While this movement is faster than generally theorized or accepted, to take this movement as proof of hundres of miles in a month is possible is just not defensible.
Its not Creationism, and its not Science when you do such things... its simply silliness.
