"As a creationary geologist I agree that they probably represent two different plates, after all, I accept CPT. But it is still interpretation of the data to claim that they are two different plates. it isn't self evident that the fault line…"

PLease explain the entire catastrophic plate tectonics theory in LAYMENs terms. I'm starting to get it, but I still have questions, primarily regarding to what act caused the continents to…Continue

Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"it is interpretation that the San Andras fault represents contact between two different plates. But even it that is so, it also interpretation that the measured displacement represents the movement of two plates over long periods of time. The same…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Terrance:
I believe that we have barely even begun to address the evidence with adequate flood models. I suspect that our models will be much more complex. I believe that they will involve the effects of asteroids and catastrophic plate tectonics.…"
Nathan Green replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"I absolutely agree with what you are saying. I was pointing to what the old earth crowd uses as evidence, and failed to point out that I don't agree with it. I've been nursing an idea to map a CPT model of sea floor spreading to the…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Oard and Reed's book does a great job of destroying the standard plate tectonic model and by trying to show close resemblance between CPT to PT they believe that they have also put a fatal blow to CPT. Mike and I have had some interesting…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"True. lasers do measure movement across the faults. I was talking about measuring movement of plates in relation to other plates, i.e. between Africa and S. America, which cannot be done by lasers due to the curvature of the earth.
Movement…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Yes, there is interpretation here. CPT is probably more speculative than asteroids during the flood. Flood geologists ascribe probably 99% of all sedimentary rock formations as due to the Genesis flood. And spread throughout that record, from top to…"
Nathan Green replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Paul, the evidence that it has been going on for millions of years is really quite simple. 2 lines of evidence, magnetic reversals and radiometric dating. Radiometric dating puts the upper bound in the lower hundreds of millions of years based on…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"You have got to be careful in accepting everything you hear. The claimed measurements of continental movement is based on GPS technology. The entire 'continental' movement is barely outside the the error bars of the accuracy of the system.…"
Nathan Green replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Here is the why:
Background:
Electric currents and magnetic fields are inter-related. As an electric current changes, it generates a magnetic field. As a magnetic field changes, it creates a magnetic field. It is theorized that there is an electric…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"It is good to hear of young people getting into geology. Just be sure, as you are studying, to recognize the naturalistic assumptions that are built into geology as typically taught as secular colleges. The true differences between geology as…"
Kaitlin replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Question: What was the catalist for plates and plate tectonics?
Answer: I'm pretty sure that remains to be determined. I have some ideas rollong around in my head, but I think I should finish my geology degree before I start making suggestions…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"There have been some articles in CRSQ about global/planetiod magnetism, that go into great detail about what could happen. And I'm not all that interested in the magnetism question. However, it does seem to me that even CPT would have a hard…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Jennette: In geology, phase change also refers to changing from one set of minerals in rock to another set of minerals in the rock. Usually this change occurs in solid state (not involving melting). In the case of the mantle rock it changes from one…"
Justin Mooney replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Here is a brief explanation regarding the rapid magnetic reversals from Christian Answers Network:
Moreover, the rapid subduction of the cooler pre-flood ocean floor into the mantle would have resulted in increased circulation of viscous fluid…"
Allen Roy replied to Steven Wright's discussion 'Help me understand Plate TEctonics'"Not sure If I fully understand AiG's thinking, but consider this. The magnetic field is thought to be caused by currents flowing around in the liquid outer core. Any disruption of those currents could be expressed as changes in intensity of the…"
