Post Creationist Plate Tectonics

A common young-earth-creationist viewpoint is that the continents had done some superfast drifting around the time of Noah's Flood. However, the continents must have done a lot of rapid-fire collisions and splittings, because there is evidence of multiple assemblies and breakups of Pangea-like supercontinents over the Earth's history.

Here are some nice plate-tectonics URL's; they show maps of the Earth all the way back to the late Precambrian:

Perhaps Noah and his ilk suffered from continental drift whiplash?
