Instead, they propose that most of the continental plate movement occurred during the [[flood geology|great flood]].

Dr. [[John Baumgardner]], a geophysicist then with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, developed a sophisticated 3D computer model of plate tectonics, and believes that his model works best as a rapid process during the Flood.<ref>Batten, Don, et. al., [http://www.creationontheweb.com/images/pdfs/cabook/chapter11.pdf What about continental drift?] Chapter 11 of the Creation Answers Book, 2007.</ref>

The magnetic stripe reversals are believed by mainstream scientists to have occurred over millions of years.
However, creationist Dr. [[Russell Humphreys]] predicted that magnetic reversals would be found with timeframes of days or weeks, from having occurred during the Flood.
In an example of a successful creationists prediction, scientists subsequently found magnetic reversals that had taken place over the space of 15 days.<ref>Snelling, Andrew A., [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1233/ Fossil magnetism reveals rapid reversals of the earth’s magnetic field], ''Creation'' 13(3):46–50, June 1991.</ref>
