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: <a href="http://www.scotese.com" target="_blank">http://www.scotese.com</a> <a href="http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/platetec/plhist94.htm" target="_blank">http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/platetec/plhist94.htm</a> <a href="http://vishnu.glg.nau.edu/rcb/globaltext.html" target="_blank">http://vishnu.glg.nau.edu/rcb/globaltext.html</a> |

Perhaps Noah and his ilk suffered from continental drift whiplash?
