Now, accumulating evidence of rapid rifting―huge seams that open in perhaps days―contradicts the uniformitarian gradualism popularized by geologist Charles Lyell and naturalist Charles Darwin 150 years ago and still held by many modern geologists. In contrast, the observations fit the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics model, and that model fits in a biblically-consistent history for the earth.

Just where is this story consistent with the seven day Biblical story?

I believe it was speaking to the time of the great flood. Lots of plate activity during that time. (my interpretation)

When is Geology evolution? When, as with many other independent lines of evidence, it contradicts a young earth creationists timeline.

Evolution = any science that contradicts a creationist.

Astronomy = evolution when it speaks of billions of years, and hundreds of millions of years for light to reach us, and millions of years ages for stars, etc.

Geology = evolution when it speaks of the millions of years it takes to move continents that used to connect, when it speaks of features that would take millions of years to form, etc.

Radiometric dating = evolution.

Anthropology = evolution.

Gravity and Heliocentrism = evolution to our resident Geocentric Creationst FReepers.

Pretty much any science that doesn't support a six thousand or so year old Earth/ Universe is “evolution”; and that would be ALL of science that deals in any way with how old things are, or how they got to be the way they are.

Mutually independent lines of evidence having nothing to do with biological evolution? All “evolution” if it contradicts the weak of faith apologists who insist that “science must bend the knee” to their interpretation.

Also known as the Hydroplate Theory. From my links page “Center for Scientific Creation - In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood”

Since we are dealing in the historical sciences, we are also dealing with multiple competing hypothesis. As such, we now know that massive trenches can open up in a geologic blink of an eye; which, as the article points out, weakens the uniformitarian gradualism of Charles Lyll, and stengthens the catastrophic plate tectonics model (based, as it is, on a young, universal flood model).

It is NOT consistent with the Bible 'His-story', because Genesis 1:1-2 are not dated. But took place in what Peter calls the 'time' that WAS.
