The Drift
A few days ago, I was with two good friends of mine that I had previously taught about the new scientific discoveries I had learned. My friend Graham is really good at absorbing information, but also measuring it against his own knowledge. And will eagerly listen to learn new things. The other friend Ryker, is the same way, he loves science and knows lots about all the aspects about modern science. I love talking to him about theories and ideas and all the information he already has learned. Because of this, he had a few questions about the discoveries I've made, so for this post I'm going to go over one of the bigger questions he had asked: "If the earth is truly a water-filled planet, how does continental drift occur? Without the necessary force from convection, what could possibly have the force to move entire continents? What caused Pangea to spit up?"
The continents are indeed moving, but only a few centimeters a year at most. If you've read some of the other posts especially Proof of a Hydroplanet and The Universal Flood, you've learned about the process that caused the Flood. It couldn't be a simple rainstorm that covered the entire world in a flood, and the scientific world sometimes uses this as their proof that the flood of Noah was just a myth. No, the forces involved were far greater, as the enormous landmasses of the continents sunk and forced the water underneath to make its way through, cracking and splitting its way out. This caused hydrofoutains and fractures all over the world. All these forces caused Pangea to be broken up and split into large pieces, and sent floating away from their original place as part of the supercontinent. After the flood waters abated, and Earth began her normal orbit again, the land still moved and split as humans re-inhabited the world but moved slower and slower as time wore on, until today only moving a few centimeters a year, the face of the Earth changed forever.
