John can't account for extremely rapid movement of the continents without
the production of extremely large quanitities of heat.
"Because all current ocean lithosphere seems to date from Flood or
post-Flood times, we feel that essentially all pre-Flood ocean lithosphere
was subducted in the course of the Flood. Gravitational potential energy
released by the subduction of this lithosphere is on the order of 10^28 J.
This alone probably provided the energy necessary to drive Flood dynamics."
~ Steven A. Austin, D. Russell Humphreys, Larry Vardiman, John R.
Baumgardner, Andrew A. Snelling and Kurt P. Wise,"Catastrophic Plate
Tectonics: A Global Flood Model of Earth History," in Robert T. Walsh,
editor, The Third International Conference on Creationism, (Pittsburgh:
Creation Science Fellowship, 1994), p. 612
John vigorously denied that there was a heat problem in an e-mail discussion
we had, but he has it in print in 2 different articles. The gravitational
energy released will become heat--no two ways about it.
