Back on the tectonic front, assuming the Mr. Schlafly is correct in a non standard rate of radioactive decay any case for a dynamic speed of tectonic movement must explain magnetic stripping. Where under sea fault lines deposit periodic amount of magma as the plates spread outward. If we are to argue that the rate of movement has varied, magnetic stripping should show longer deposits around 6,000 years ago corresponding to greater movements of the past. As this is not the case, a young earth argument might want to assume that the current tectonic state was present at the moment of creation and thus has moved constantly. Otherwise, another verifiable explanation of magnetic stripping is needed. Thoughts?--[[User:RichB|RichB]] 14:46, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

:In response to Mr Schlafly's roughly half a mile per year continental drift, yes, that's correct. But that's an ''average'' of half mile per year. It would be ''much'' faster than half a mile a year in the past, since it is so slow now, according to you. Furthermore, unless you assume that the supercontinent began to break up the moment the earth was created, you have less than 6000 years- more like 4500, if you start, as in flood geology, with the Flood. Thus the early drift rates, in order to ''average'' half a mile per year, would have had to have been ''extremely'' faster than half a mile per year in the beginning. There is simply no evidence that the plates ever moved that fast, or that they even could. [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 15:51, 26 June 2009 (EDT)
