Mt. Everest of today would need waters 6 miles high to cover. I don't think there was that much water to cover it. However, one hypothesis is Mt. Everest was lower and the plate tectonics moved the mountain higher. Evos also point out that there wasn't enough atmospheric pressure that high for Noah, his family and the animals to survive. However, creation scientists point out if sea level rose, then the atmospheric pressure would rise, too.
Again- remember your source is the Bible- which doesn't mention 'plate tectonics' or Mountains growing.
But lets go with the 'plate tectonics' thing for a moment then. Because plate tectonics are relevant to evolution.
Where does plate tectonics show the growth of Mt. Everest by a few miles in the course of say 5,000 years?
Or any significant plate tectonics movement?
There is nothing about plate tectonics theory that supports a 6,000 year old Earth.
Nothing.
But plate tectonics does fit with the theory of evolution and how kangaroos are in Australia- and not in Kansas.
You and atheists are wrong again. This is too easy.
The Bible mentions Pangea or one large mass of land and continental drift. "And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so." Genesis 1:9
Continental drift, plate tectonics came from a creation scientist. Not an atheist one.
LOL
The Bible doesn't mention Pangea.
Really how much nonsense will you try to spread using quotes from the Bible
“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place"
Where would this one place be? Let me ask you- is the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean- one place? Or is it a vast number of places?
But you want to believe that at the end of the flood- there was one super continent such as Pangea- and in the last 5,000 years or so- that continent has not only split up- but drifted 4900 of miles apart(Americas and Europe/Africa?)- so an average of 1 mile a year?
Just seems we would all be noticing the massive amount of earthquakes it would take to achieve that. Even the movement of a couple inches is pretty dramatic.
And how exactly does your post Flood Pangea explain why Kangaroos are in Australia- but not in South America?
And why Rheas are in South America- but not India?
Evolutionary theory explains why. How does your Christianist theory explain that?
Sure it does. I just quoted it. Most atheist scientists ignored Pangaea as one supercontinent until plate tectonics was discovered and it was shown to be true. It shows that the earth was formed by catastrophism and not atheist ideas of uniformitarianism.

Evidence of existence
The distribution of fossils across the continents is one line of evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea.
Fossil evidence for Pangaea includes the presence of similar and identical species on continents that are now great distances apart. For example, fossils of the
therapsid Lystrosaurus have been found in
South Africa,
India and
Antarctica, alongside members of the
Glossopteris flora, whose distribution would have ranged from the polar circle to the equator if the continents had been in their present position; similarly, the freshwater reptile
Mesosaurus has been found in only localized regions of the coasts of
Brazil and
West Africa.
[19]
Additional evidence for Pangaea is found in the
geology of adjacent continents, including matching geological trends between the eastern coast of
South America and the western coast of
Africa. The
polar ice cap of the
Carboniferous Period covered the southern end of Pangaea. Glacial deposits, specifically
till, of the same age and structure are found on many separate continents that would have been together in the continent of Pangaea.
[20]
Paleomagnetic study of apparent polar wandering paths also support the theory of a supercontinent. Geologists can determine the movement of continental plates by examining the orientation of magnetic minerals in rocks; when rocks are formed, they take on the magnetic properties of the Earth and indicate in which direction the poles lie relative to the rock. Since the magnetic poles
drift about the rotational pole with a period of only a few thousand years, measurements from numerous lavas spanning several thousand years are averaged to give an apparent mean polar position. Samples of
sedimentary rock and
intrusive igneous rock have magnetic orientations that are typically an average of the "secular variation" in the orientation of
magnetic north because their
remanent magnetizations are not acquired instantaneously. Magnetic differences between sample groups whose age varies by millions of years is due to a combination of
true polar wander and the drifting of continents. The true polar wander component is identical for all samples, and can be removed, leaving geologists with the portion of this motion that shows continental drift and can be used to help reconstruct earlier continental positions.
[21]
The continuity of mountain chains provides further evidence for Pangaea. One example of this is the
Appalachian Mountains chain, which extends from the southeastern
United States to the
Caledonides of Ireland, Britain, Greenland, and
Scandinavia.

As for the Kangaroos and Rheas, why don't you explain? How does it show evolution over creation science?
